I’ve been sorting out stuff for shielding family member today, so have totally lost track as to where I was up to on the previous thread - so apologies if this has been covered and I know I’m referring to old news.
Just can’t stop thinking about Trump’s address last night. Normally, when he’s “off on one” he really does just ramble on about complete shut, random words, stumbling, repeating etc etc.
It was obvious (as others pointed out last time I looked at this thread this morning) that he was CONSTANTLY referring to notes, which he may have done before, but I’ve never clocked it.
I honestly can’t imagine him having written the notes himself. He is normally so “off-piste” with his ramblings. I don’t normally go down the “conspiracy “ routes, but I am now slightly wondering ...
Given that there can be back-stabbing etc in politics, is it even slightly feasible that there was some kind of background agreement in the Republican Party to write a speech for him that would a) appeal to what he wanted to hear/say and b) could then give them a kind of “out” like “look how nuts he’s become”? I mean, he could claim “Bob from the mailroom wrote this for me” etc, but that would then be admitting that he gave a speech about “bigly” important matters without knowing what he was talking about etc.
I think there is a small possibility he was led into this - definitely not because I like or support him, I want him out of power ASAP. Just musing on if there was a coordinated effort to push him in one direction to then give other republicans a bit of free rein to start speaking out.against him (though not enough have, so probably kind of blows my dream!)
