Donald Trump’s team is worried that he keeps dropping out of media appearances, even friendly ones.

Donald Trump won’t stop backing out of interviews, and his forces have been left scrambling. 

Trump dropped out of yet another interview on Friday, when a Trump adviser told producers of The Shade Room that Trump wouldn’t be following through on talks to appear on the podcast because he was “exhausted and refusing [some] interviews but that could change,” two people familiar with the conversation told Politico. 

Kamala Harris recently appeared on The Shade Room, a culture podcast with a predominantly young, Black audience. Ahead of Trump’s cancellation, Shade Room staff felt that the campaign was dragging its feet when it came to nailing down the details, according to Politico.

I completely agree. I think his mental decline has been significant. I don’t really think he’s been as public as he normally is and when he is, he is extra weird.

They recently announced Trump wouldn’t be golfing “at least until after the election” citing security concerns after that idiot was caught down in Florida. But I’m beginning to wonder if he’s even capable of golfing anymore. It also wasn’t an immediate response to that incident, it happened well after the fact. It sounds like cover to get ahead of having to explain a drastic change in habits.

But the fact that this idea sounds plausible at all should be disqualifying in and of itself. The guy is too old and too senile to be president.
