Yes, I agree completely that there's no simulated sex act. He's simply putting on a performance about a mike position problem.

On the other hand, "LawyerLady" gave hyperlinks to NY Times opinion pieces that say many of the same things that I've commented on for more than a year. His cognitive decline from, say, pre-2000, is very clear. That article has a link to an interview of Trump in 2002, wherein Trump talks about Citizen Kane. He would never say anything close to that in 2024. He's simply no longer mentally capable of saying something like that.

Indeed. To call Donald Trump "mentally undisciplined" would be extremely charitable.

It will be very interesting if Donald Trump's behavior becomes less bizarre, and his ability to speak become better, now that he presumably would have a chance to get some rest, and get off any drugs he might have been taking to make it to the end of the campaign.

I'm glad we all agree there was no simulated sex act.

I've changed my mind. I now think Gary Marcus and others are right, as extraordinary as that is. Look at 3:00 into the video.:
