‘He’s not Ok’: Questions of Trump’s ‘cognitive decline’ explode amid ‘bizarre behavior’

Nobel Prize-winning economist, professor, and popular New York Times opinion writer Paul Krugman on Monday published, "Trump Has Become Unmoored in Time." In it he closes by asking, "what would Trump say about an opponent who, like him, seems stuck in the past, who routinely describes America in ways that suggest that he doesn’t know what year it is?"

On Tuesday Krugman posted a link to his piece on the social media platform X, and wrote: "This was filed before Trump’s bizarre behavior at his latest rallies. Maybe I was too polite in describing one aspect of his cognitive decline."

Trump campaign furious as Walz uses Trump’s ‘reckless, dangerous rhetoric’ against him

As NCRM reported, the Republican presidential nominee said he thinks the U.S. Armed Forces should be used against Americans who oppose him, called his critics “the enemy from within,” and declared they are more dangerous than America’s greatest foreign adversaries, including Russia, China, and North Korea.

‘Is he OK?’ Trump’s dark of night rage posting backfires

After a weekend of speeches dehumanizing immigrants and threatening to use the U.S. military on Americans who oppose him, Donald Trump in a 1 AM dead of night post lashed out at his Democratic presidential opponent in what some are saying was projection.

"I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform at 1:12 AM. "Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally 'bonkers,' with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked. Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!"

Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) as she runs for U.S. Senate, took out a full-page ad in the Oct. 2 issue of the Michigan Bulletin — a Lansing-based, Black-owned alternative weekly publication — that lists Election Day as Nov. 6, a day later than the correct date, reported the Washington Post.

Chief justice ‘shaken’ by 'adverse' reaction to Trump's near-total immunity: report

Last year, when Donald Trump’s attorneys declared he had “total immunity” from prosecution, many in the legal community scoffed. No president in all of American history had ever proclaimed they could not be convicted for serious violations of law—most infamously, President Richard Nixon had to have been keenly aware he might be criminally prosecuted.

Just eleven days after Nixon resigned the presidency in 1974, TIME reported, “Nixon’s new status as a private citizen puts him in grave peril.”

'Very sinister': Trump stuns Republicans and Dems with on-air 'bad genes' rant

Former President Donald Trump stunned political experts on both sides of the aisle Monday with an on-air rant about people with "bad genes."

Trump, during an interview with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, relied on what critics called the rhetoric of eugenics — the discredited philosophy behind Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's attempt to exterminate Jewish people — when he railed against undocumented immigrants.

Watch: Lara Trump quickly changes subject when confronted with Jack Smith filing on CNN

During a rare appearance on CNN on Sunday morning, RNC official Lara Trump wanted nothing to do with questions about a new filing from special counsel Jack Smith that made a compelling case that Donald Trump broke the law.

Speaking with "State of the Union" host Dana Bash, Trump's daughter-in-law completely ignored a question about Trump's comments about vice president Mike Pence whose life was at risk during the Jan. 6 riots.

Instead, Eric Trump's wife went on a well-rehearsed rant about Americans no longer being concerned with the attempt to overturn the 2020 election that her father-in-law lost.

ALSO READ: Why Trump is barely campaigning

"I want to turn to something that we learned this week about from prosecutors on Donald Trump's role in trying and to overturn the election results in 2020," Bash began. "When Mike Pence's life was in jeopardy and aides told prosecutors that Trump said, quote, 'So what?" Do you think that's an appropriate response to the notion that his vice president's life appeared to be in danger?"

"Well, I think that this is a ridiculous ploy," Lara Trump shot back. "Of course, in 30 days to an election to try and dissuade people from voting for Donald Trump."

"The January 6 situation has been amplified to a level that I don't think is almost believable to so many people right now when they're struggling to put food on and the table for their families when they're struggling to fill up their gas tanks," she continued before oddly adding, "When you have dog and cat euthanization rates at an all-time high right now because people are going to have to turn over their animals because they can't afford to have a family pet right now, when you have wars breaking out around the world."

"This is not the top concern for the people of this country and the fact that this is coming to the forefront just speaks volumes about the fact that the Democrats probably don't feel good about their candidate of Kamala Harris," she asserted without ever addressing the threat to Pence's life.

'They’re just coming after us': Project 2025 org is now harassing voter registration group

The voter registration groups helping new prospective voters navigate the bureaucracy of adding their names to the voter rolls are now having to contend with conservative activists harassing them.

That's according to a Friday report in the New York Times, which focused on how Latino voter registration in Arizona is being complicated by the far right ahead of the 2024 election. The Times reported that the Heritage Foundation — which is the organization behind the controversial Project 2025 authoritarian policy blueprint — is now deputizing conservatives to follow and film people helping Hispanic residents of swing states get registered ahead of the November election.
