In addition to the planned RFK Jr-Gabbard event, Trump canceled interviews with CBS News' "60 Minutes," as well as with CNBC and NBC News.................

of a serious medical issue. Congestive heart failure would be my top candidate; it leaves the sufferer feeling excessive fatigue among other symptoms and would be consistent with Trump’s lifetime of terrible dietary habits and lack of exercise. He’s almost certainly a Type II diabetic at this point as well.

(what little bit of any souls they have left) to rebuild their party, if they want to. There will probably be leftover tRUMP nuts who'll proclaim themselves the next 'tRUMP' but they won't come near. Even tRUMP's idiot sons wouldn't pass muster, to run for the WH.

I hope that we get enough house/congress seats to pass some sort of restrictions on who can run for the WH, that they must provide tax returns (comprehensive, complete tax returns), have no felonies or crime sheets, prove that they are they are truly pro-American, and pass mental aptitude among other such tests too. I'm sick and tired of tRUMP knocking us as Americans all of the time.

When someone has so much power handed to them, we must ensure that only those 100% vested in America are invested w/ that power.

The presidency shouldn't be your first elected office. I suggest anyone seeking the presidency has to have won at least two elections to the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or a governorship, in any combination...so, if you serve a term as governor then win a Senate seat, you're fine.

SHARE
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday called his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris “lazy,” criticizing the vice president with a word long used to demean Black people in racist terms.

Who the hell takes off when you have 14 days left,” Trump said at a campaign event in Doral, Florida, aimed at courting Latino voters. “She’s lazy. She’s lazy as hell.”

Harris was spending Tuesday in meetings in Washington, D.C., and was scheduled to sit for recorded interviews with Telemundo and NBC to air Tuesday evening. It was the first day in more than two weeks that the Democratic nominee had no public events scheduled after a run of more than 14 consecutive days of travel to political events in pivotal states, including a three-state run on Monday, starting in Pennsylvania, continuing to Michigan and ending in Wisconsin.

It’s that Trump is mentally incapable of holding a coherent discussion on ANY subject for more than three minutes, if that, and the last thing his campaign (or his Party) wants is to have the news cycle of last two weeks before the election dominated by news clips and clips demonstrating his mental weakness. If Fox thinks they’re missing the boat, they’ll jump on, last minute. THEIR advertisers want an audience, too, after all.

The Trump campaign can spin “exhaustion,” claiming that Trump is giving it his all, and if Harris is NOT exhausted, it’s because she is goofing off. I’m sure Hannity is putting the finishing touches on that one.
