Trump went on Twitter to be interviewed by billionaire weirdo Elon Musk last night, in the same Spaces format that crashed for Ron DeSantis and...it crashed for Musk and Trump. Once it got going...it crashed in a different way.
A lot has been made of Trump's slurring and lisping his words. Some of that seems to be shitty audio, but some of it is clearly him unable to speak well. The clips I heard were also incoherent in the way Trump is usually incoherent, but it was the combination of his slurring, his rambling speech and his talking over Musk makes me wonder again if Trump isn't using some sort of drugs. He sound insane but in a different way than he usually does.
There's also this clip where Trump says if he loses he will flee to Venezuela. This isn't the first time he's suggested that Venezuela is safer than the US and that he'd be welcomed there. First of all, he's a convicted felon out of bond talking about fleeing the country. Secondly, he's as close as he can get to admitting he's losing. Thirdly, Democrats need to make his new love affair with Venezuela into their ad campaign for South Florida. Lots of Venezuelans and Cubans think that Democrats secretly love their home countries' dictatorships, but Trump actually does love Maduro.
But wait! That's not all! Trump praises Musk for firing people. Listen to that 18 second clip of him speed slurring his way through praising Musk for firing people and then rambling off into one of his incoherent digressions...and tell me why anyone in a union household or a wage worker should vote for this guy.
When I said yesterday that Trump can't campaign, this is part of what I meant. He opens his mouth and unpopular positions tumble out.
Musk giving Trump an hour of free media should be an in-kind campaign contribution. It's just not clear which campaign
