LOL:

Inside the Worst Three Weeks of Donald Trump’s 2024 Campaign​

People around the former and would-be president see a candidate knocked off his bearings, disoriented by his new contest with Kamala Harris and unsure of how to take her on.

Favorite quote, either he's just lying, or he too is losing his mind...

Mr. Trump threatened to sue The Times over a story about his description in Thursday’s news conference of a near-death experience on a helicopter ride with Willie Brown, the former California politician. Mr. Brown denied ever having flown on a helicopter with Mr. Trump.

And by the way in case he was having a brain fart about who rode with him, Gerry Brown and Gavin Newsome, two people who did ride in a chopper with DJT both said that they never flew with him when the flight had to make an emergency landing...

Another explanation is the old, "They all look the same to me" ploy. Regardless there is no record of the two of them ever being on a helicopter...

Asked if Mr. Trump might have confused the two California politicians because they are both Black, Mr. Brown said, “I wouldn’t want to conclude that he can’t tell Black people apart, because I’d hate for him to think that I’m Beyoncé.”

And then he burst out laughing.
