RE: The Glitches Just Keep On Coming
I did not care much for Joe Biden, as I found him insecure, quick to be defensive, arrogant at times and, of course, highly inappropriate on occasion in the presence of girls and women (the Eva Longoria incident, in particular, was disturbing).
Now, I do admire Biden for the love he showed his sons when their mother and sister were killed in the car accident. And I also feel he did some positive things with his personnel picks and policies (and as I have posted).
All this to say, I was not deflated when Biden suffered the meltdown during the debate with Don Trump. (Obviously, Biden admins, Dems and Biden apologists were mortified.) I've had it with the Democratic Party and they asked for the trouble they currently have.
Similarly, I will not be upset if Trump suffers some type meltdown. And it could happen. As posters (including those on the right) note, the man is 80. Many of the mental/physical flaws we are seeing are due to advancing age (and beyond the president's control).
I note the hypothetical example of Trump suffering, in public, a severe case of flatulence for this reason: Trump (as many will admit) is a high-level narcissist. As such, very few things he says/does yield self-embarrassment. For example, he says outlandish things that would humiliate most of us if we said the same things. Yet he finds what he says humorous, spot-on, insightful, etc. Trump essentially believes he is perfect and that is words, behavior and actions are flawless and "the best."
However, there are a handful of things that could happen to the president that actually could reveal his frailties, his weaknesses, his being "no better than the rest of us." And a brutal case of gas might be one. I could see the president being so unnerved and embarrassed if he suffered a public incident of this type. It could literally "freak him out."
And if you are a major Trump fan ... to see the president finally show apprehensive, concern, weakness, self-doubt, self-embarrassment. It could be unsettling to see your political "hero" exposed in such a way.
This is the reality for hard-core supporters of both the Democratic Party and Republican Party when they are willing to elect a president of this age. So if the disaster happens with Trump (as it did with Joe Biden) or some future Dem president 78 and older ... those hard-core supporters got what they deserve. No sympathy given.
