His rambling raves have included musings about being killed by electrocution or sharks, telling his devotees that he has more than enough votes and doesn&#8217;t need theirs, claiming to have more <em>&#8220;wounds&#8221;<\/em> than any president ever (e.g. Kennedy and Lincoln), and repeatedly praising <em>&#8220;the late, great, Hannibal Lector.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s not exactly a promising prelude to the big debate on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=61944\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Fear and Desperation Show as He Says Biden is Both \u2018The Worst\u2019 and \u2018A Worthy\u2019 Debater<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Joining the Trumpsters who are pre-conceding that Biden is likely to prevail in the debate, is his former White House <em>&#8220;doctor&#8221;<\/em> Ronny Jackson, who is now an ultra-MAGA congressman from Texas. Jackson rushed over to Fox News for some emergency rehabilitation of Trump&#8217;s sagging public profile. And in an interview with Fox&#8217;s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, he offered the following diagnosis of a candidate <em>&#8220;jacked up&#8221;<\/em> on drugs that sounds very much like Trump&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Those drugs are out there. They treat the cognition part of it. They try to make it where he can think straighter and he&#8217;s not lost and confused as much. And then there&#8217;s drugs that actually treats alertness like Adderall and other amphetamine type drugs. Maybe Provigil and things like that. And then there&#8217;s a host of drugs that try to take the agitated edge off most of these cognitive disorders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I feel like they&#8217;re probably giving him a little bit of all of this. They just have to get a little bit of distract. They all have different times of onset. They have different durations. They interact with each other. So it&#8217;s a challenge. But they have no choice with what they&#8217;re working with.
