talkpoliticsTrump meeting with Zelensky. Watch the 2nd half. What a clown.
VIDEO
Zelensky looks like he wants to slap the daylights out of Trump. "I can't believe I have to suck up to this guy." Yep, you guessed right. Trump is babbling incoherently... almost entirely about himself. As per usual.
I imagine that's something one must reconcile pretty early on if going into politics, especially if one's ambition is to be a foreign diplomat or a leader of international significance.
As to why people don't care about his apparent decline? Well... Most people have made up their mind, and aren't likely to change, unless one candidate utterly flops in a very public forum. The people on the fence generally don't pay avid attention to politics, and won't even watch something big like a debate.
I'd add that IMO Republicans these days are also much more blinded by partisanship, including negative partisanship, than Democrats.
The only way Trump could seriously bleed support is if he changed his tune on immigration. He could flip-flop on almost anything else - abortion, drugs, military, taxes, whatever - but for today's Republican base, which is loaded with racists and xenophobes, that is the red line in the sand.
