Dear MAGA, We know why you like Donald (he has never been known as trump here, just Donald). Believe us. Please try to Imagine why we detest him. Maybe this analogy will help. We all know Manhattan is different than anywhere else. The most important city in the World & quite wealthy, so let us lower the amounts to reasonable levels. Imagine a farmer who lives in your town of 2,500. He is has a Million dollar home & struts around bragging & complaining about the state of public roads. When you sell him a cow, he never pays & threatens to sue you for (anything he can think of just to wear you down). On top of all that, he has never paid his school (or any) taxes & that is why he can afford the fancy house. Would you vote for him as Mayor? Thank you from Manhattan & Best wishes in the Future for ALL of US. 2024

Dude! It looks likeTrump is being fed his lines! He’s speaking and then he stops midsentence for 30 seconds he doesn’t look confused. He looks like he’s waiting for somebody to fix a hidden audio piece in his ear or something where he’s listening to someone that’s feeding him the words. If you notice he keeps looking down at the same area to his left. Then he starts shaking his head like he is signaling that the audio cut out. That is why he starts to get inpatient at about 15 seconds you can see it It’s almost like the audio that he’s repeating whatever is being said to him cuts out for 30 seconds and comes back on mid sentence because all of a sudden he just comes back on midsentence talking. I honestly think that he is being fed words word for words he’s repeating them and he’s pretending for me to tell Ron because he starts speaking mid sentence like the audio just came back on, and then he looked at the Teleprompter. If you look for a split second, he starts saying the words then he looks at the other prompter or two later As basic and remedial as his speeches are, I think he still is show incompetence that he can’t even come up with those those words on his own or even leave the font. If you actually listen to him when he talks, there’s enough of a gap between every word where he could be repeating what he hears. If you play that his speakers and listen most of them it just sounds like somebody repeating Word for Word what’s being fed to them through an earpiece or something? Once you look for it, you will see it. I’m telling you this guy is being fed his speeches and without them he’s just a mindless nitwit
