Trump showed up at a rally in North Carolina, ostensibly to support Ted Budd, the Republican in the race for Richard Burr’s seat, who is statistically tied with North Carolina’s state senator Cheri Beasley – the Democrat. Of course, Trump’s appearance at a rally is really nothing more than the dopamine rush that he craves, an audience to which he can air his grievances, and then maybe a five-minute nod to the candidate.
Trump got off to a rough start, sounding out of it when he couldn’t even get his signature line out appropriately (Remember, Michael Cohen says Trump is noticeably slipping cognitively):

Trump doesn’t know a damned thing about the United States Constitution (“I have Article II, I can do whatever I want”), but he makes up for it by knowing a lot about tractors. Chalk up another point for cognitive decline:

Trump is a good father because he clearly sired “good people.” This is a new addition to the rally repertoire because, after all, his kids are named in New York’s lawsuit, too:

The documents are a hoax, and there is no better example of hoaxes than racist Letitia James’s lawsuit against him and his company:

Oh, and the MAGAs in attendance is as predictable as ever. They want every political opponent locked up. This is how Stalin worked:

Very few presidents have to assure their supporters that he or she isn’t a terrorist. Donald Trump isn’t one of them.

An outright lie, gas is under $4.00 per gallon and it’s a lie that Joe Biden controls gas prices!
Trump says gas $5 to $7 dollars a gallon then complains that Biden is bringing down gas prices just for the election pic.twitter.com/1jeqmTzu3q [13]

People mocked Trump’s ability to speak coherently:
I, too, would like to keep our country gay. 🏳️🌈 https://t.co/53nGSHS9Mq [15]

Another example of Trump incoherence:

Trump says only he protected Seattle. It was actually Seattle PD when it got violent:

This one is good. Trump will bring prices way down, and that will cause Putin to stop the war. Putin will stop any war if Trump “decides to do this.” Probably true, Trump would pull the U.S. out of NATO. That’s a far better deal for Putty. Trump has no clue how the world works but he knows he must do Putin’s bidding.

And the creepy walk-out music was the same as last week. The QAnon song:
Ominous music is now playing at the Trump rally in North Carolina while he rambles about airports:
