Has Trump’s Political Downfall Begun?

What’s happened to Donald Trump? He used to seem so formidable, a very real threat to American democracy, and the pal of dictators around the world. He’s gone, in the minds of many Americans, from being a danger to being merely weird. What happened? The simple reality is that Trump has entered the Fat Elvis phase of his career. He hasn’t grown or developed new routines; he’s just reliving his old hits every day, playing to a nostalgic and mostly elderly audience who fondly remember his glory days.

Donnie is a very old dog who can’t learn new tricks. No offense to dogs.

He's incapable of adjusting his script. That's why he's not adjusting to running against Harris."Trump is going through his Fat Elvis stage", perfection.

[RLee-zsds]

Like any fad or lunatic idea, over time it becomes boring. Trump appealed to the 'uneducated', but some of the people who were enthralled by him, realize that he is now the "rambling, babbling Old Man" since Biden is no longer a player in the election.

He's caught in a trap.... he can't go back

For the first time, I actually have hope Dems have figured out a way to win by such large numbers we can destroy MAGA's political power.

But only if we keep working.

LMFAOROTF "Fat Elvis".... hilarious

[emiebex]

Trump has definitely hit rock bottom...& that was long before he picked JD Vance.

[Contessa]

Don't let FAT ELVIS WIN!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Donald Trump never should have been raised up to the American presidency in the first place. America has its flaws, but he was never a solution to fix them.

If his time isn’t out: it’s long overdue for him
to depart

When is the government going to tax churches & charities that rarely serve the community, but serve the people at the top of their food chain.?

[RoobieRhoo]

I agree. The debate and the interview with the black Jounalists, he never answered the questions. Only his tired campaign speech rhetoric. Playing his hits.

[barlowsmith]

his entire career has been BS and Lies and conning people anyone he can

[looneytoon]

He's Al Bundy retelling his high school football touchdown story

[wabinagi]

Don-Old is now showing his con man colors!😂

[John-jwh]

Trump wasn't a playboy... he paid for it. Karen McDougal said after they were "intimate" the first time, he tried to pay her. A real man doesn't have to pay.

[roywhitman]

Thom, look at the Gen Z'ers that have just recently registered to vote now that they have someone other than 2 old guys to choose from!! I believe he's nowhere near as popular as he thinks he is!!

[jennifermarkens]

His toxicity and debauched nature on are full dispaly

[owenlaprath]

How DARE you call Trump a "Fat Elvis"?
How DARE you insult Elvis like this and compare him to Trumpler?
This an insult and total fighting words!

[damonkatos]

He’s spouting no tax on tips and social security.
No tax on tips is a scheme to let hedge fund managers get paid by tips.
