An 'exhausted' Trump says no to another interview

Source: politico



He was in talks to join The Shade Room.

Eugene Daniels 10/18/2024, 8:15am ET

Recently, it’s become something of a pattern: Donald Trump is scheduled for an interview with a neutral media outlet, the date nears and then … things fall apart.

It happened.....

Why does this keep happening? Another outlet was recently given an explanation by Trump’s team for why their own interview wasn’t coming to fruition: exhaustion.

The Trump campaign had spent weeks in conversations with The Shade Room, a site that draws a largely young and Black audience — a demographic where Trump has been making inroads. It hosted an interview with Kamala Harris just last week.

But no interview has materialized. As Shade Room staff began feeling that feet were being dragged inside Trump’s campaign, they pressed earlier this week to set a date for a sit-down.

In response, a Trump adviser told Shade Room producers that Trump was “exhausted and refusing [some] interviews but that could change” at any time, according to two people familiar with the conversations.....................

Is maybe so sure that he's going to win and thinks he doesn't have to campaign so much. I don't trust him. Could he have something planned to steal the election?

But if he's too exhausted to do an interview, would he not be too exhausted to be President of the United States?

10. Someone ought to make it a point to address the fact that Trump spent nearly 60% of his time in 'Executive Session'
Fri Oct 18, 2024, 10:06 AM

According to an Axios account:

The first three hours of his typical day were spent reading newspapers, social media, television and telephone calls.

Similar in the evening hours when he would often engage his social media accounts until the early hours of the morning.

Additionally; this didn’t account for golf trips.

Roughly six hours a day spent with no clear published agenda/schedule.

If DonOLD is too exhausted to campaign; how is he expected to properly assume the role of POTUS?

Do we expect six hours of unaccounted ‘Executive Session’ as POTUS?

Ten?

Twelve?

He’s lazy. Unless he has to show up for an event he does absolutely nothing. He just wants to squat in the White House and avoid prison.

I have lost all respect for anyone who votes for this clown.

I remember after he lost in 2020 but while he was a lame duck...

They would release his schedule every day and it was always the same: the President will work from early in the morning until late at night. He will attend many meetings and make many phone calls.

That was it. He was FINISHED with the governing part of the job.

Chump thinks he doesn't need to make much effort since others are going to steal it for him anyway.

I'm so ready to see these assholes smacked down for good and forever. Once the election is over, clap him in prison where he spends the rest of his miserable life. JD Vance still has about 4 years to make an ass of himself in the Senate, and then his days in politics are over too.

Instead of playing some solitaire, like in "The Manchurian Candidate," it's more like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

In one his final secret telephone conversations, Trump heard "It's over, Donald" from the lips of Vladimir and all of sudden his traitor puppet brain goes into shut down mode.

The bare-chested cosmonaut floats around his red-lighted computer memory bank, shutting down one key component after another.



Meanwhile, Trump's voice slows and slurs as it blurts out a very off-key version of "Macho Macho Man."

It’s not the kind of exhaustion one gets over…he will probably never recover.

He has a body mind and soul (however very dark) that has limits. He’s about to hit his personal rock bottom. It was inevitable

that his staff knows that he will be exposed as a rambling, unstable, conspiracy spewing psycho, like he was in the debate with Kamala. He has plenty of "energy" to rant at his Nazi rallies and "dance" like a mental patient. His staff knows enough to not provide any clips in the closing weeks of him having actual conversations.

He no longer has the stamina to be President because of his OLD age and mental decline. This is handlers just trying to get Trump across the finish line and install Vance and Project 2025
