I wonder how much Adderall he can do before he strokes out.

This faux machismo act gets old. Not getting any sleep is simply because he's running scared and afraid that if he doesn't win it's off to the slammer. He wouldn't be any more rational even if rested.

I have yet to see ANY analysis of the effects that sleep deprivation has on the brain and the effect it MUST be having on Trump's brain. Are people afraid to point this salient fact out?

They can sleep when they lose.

What a fair load of crap. Trump goes coast to coast seeking the next fix of adulation at rallies, or the next friendly forum for his disconnected fancies, and he's a workhorse that only a 35-year-old can keep up with? What false equivalency horseshit. Harris went into the dragon's lair. Let him sit down with 60 Minutes, or do 25 minutes with Chris Wallace. Then we'll say, "well, you know, the old man is working hard." But now? I mean, I suppose his right arm does get fatigued from jerking himself off 22 hours/day--or perhaps he's ambidextrous in that respect--but that hardly amounts to any evidence of the stamina the presidency demands.

It explains some of what we are seeing in terms of Trump’s cognition.

What a croc! “This is a guy that was all man,” Trump said. “He took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable.’ I had to say it.”

78 year old Donald Trump is not all right. Arnold Palmer did not take showers with other pros. Country club showers have individual stalls to shower in. Golf pros have never observed Arnold Palmer's penis size and come out of the gang shower and made comments on how unbelievable it is. Is this some kind of demented gay fantasy of Donald Trump? It is not ok to just report that Trump made a crude remark about the size of Arnold Palmer's penis and the crowd got a big laugh. That is sane washing. This needs to be reported as a medical incident and go to aging and dementia experts for guidance.

Here is what Arnold Palmer's daughter had to say:

“My father was very modest,” Peggy continued. “We’ve lost our sense of outrage in this country over just about everything, and I’m not sure that’s OK… There are other things about my dad that would be better to focus on.”

And here is what Arnold Palmer really thought about Donald Trump running for president:

in 2018, Peggy Palmer told The Sporting News that her dad, shortly before his death, had been “appalled” by Trump’s behavior during his 2016 presidential run.

“My dad didn’t like people who act like they’re better than other people,” she said. "He didn’t like it when people were nasty and rude. He didn’t like it when someone was disrespectful to someone else. My dad had no patience for people who demean other people in public. He had no patience for people who are dishonest and cheat. My dad was disciplined. He wanted to be a good role model. He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility and what he began to see as Trump’s lack of character.”

That is what needs to be reported.

I think that Trump won in 2016 in no small part because all the final talk was about the tie between Anthony Weiners laptop and Hillary.

Look at what the MAGA campaign is trying to do, associate Kamala Harris to trans criminals. The racism of Willie Horton taken to 11 by the same creep that gave us Willie Horton 1.0.

Perhaps Arnold Palmer's penis can be the Anthony Weiner's laptop of 2024.

EVERY Republican holdout -- Dewine, Kemp, Mitch, Lindsey, Marco, Cotton, JH, Cruz, Scott, etc, etc, etc, sadly etc....the speaker, etc, etc, needs to be held accountable somehow, someway but they won't be.

Maybe it was sleep deprivation that caused Orange to declare himself 'father of IVF' when he really meant 'father of five.

And maybe he meant 'Mel' should punch her 'fat pig husband' to get up and vote.

I'm sorry. I traveled a lot in my career and worked long hours and traveled for work. I raised 2 kids. I didn't have a private jet or people to carry my bags, my tickets or any of my paraphernalia. When I wanted to eat, I had to shop and cook and clean up. I recently went to Europe for several weeks, traveling a lot. I had to schlep my own bags, race to catch my planes, carry my passport and plane tickets. So I do not want to hear how tired this big fat baby is who doesn't lift a finger to help himself. His meals are cooked for him. His make up is applied for him, his hair done by someone, clothes cleaned. Poor baby isn't tired. He is a sick, weak, cranky old man who can't take any pressure.

Unfortunately, my husband is out of work and I cannot afford to donate. I am also working extra hours so don't have a lot of time.... so she will have to be happy with our votes.

Making excuses for Trump? Is the campaign paying you under the table? Poor darling Trump, he’s tired. That’s why he sways his “beautiful body” to music for 39 minutes at a campaign event. No mention of his nonsensical comments in the Bloomberg interview, but you carefully point out that Harris didn’t do a Bloomberg sitdown, as if she’s scared to do so. Did you see her takedown of Baier? If the Bulwark continues in your vein, excusing Trump while criticizing Harris, I will cancel my subscription. You should be fired, or transferred to obits or calendar listings or high school sports agate. (Yeah, I know TB doesn’t have them, but I know as a former career journalist, those jobs are the equivalent of scrubbing the men’s room toilets.) You dishonor Bill Kristol, Tim Miller, JVL and your other esteemed colleagues.

I have already replied to an a comment on this article, but I feel I must do it again. This is fanboy fiction trying to explain away the fact that Trump presents as (a nice way of saying "is") an old man who cannot produce coherent sentences. Poor love, give him room , he's tired. I cannot work out what such nonsense is doin in the Bulwark.

Denise, my friend, please calm down. You are WAY overreacting to what is a very good and interesting article. I'm about as rabid about this election as a person can be, but I sure didn't get what you got out of this article. Come on in off the ledge . We are all your friends here.
