Senile Donald Trump forgets who he’s running against and then melts down about mosquitoes

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump has apparently given up campaigning in swing states, even as his campaign people have spent the evening seemingly trying to keep some major story about him from breaking in the media. In the meantime Trump is doing an appearance with Sean Hannity, in the hope that a friendly interviewer will help keep him on track. It’s not working.

At one point Trump said “I can’t imagine New Hampshire voting for him… anybody in New Hampshire who votes for Biden…” That’s right, he’s back to thinking he’s running against Biden. And this isn’t merely a matter of misspeaking, given that Trump did it twice. Trump is clearly slipping in and out of the past, and at times thinks he really is running against Biden.

At another point Trump got distracted and began ranting about mosquitoes. This guy has gone from obsessively talking about being attacked by sharks and batteries and cannibals, to now obsessing about being attacked by mosquitoes. No wonder Trump’s babysitters are rarely bothering to send him out on the campaign trail. With this degree of senility, he’s not going to be able to help his prospects anyway.
