"Earlier this week, a JL Partners poll for the Daily Mail showed the number of American voters who have confidence that Trump is able to fully digest national security briefings, maintain attention in meetings and remember the names of world leaders he is talking to – and who have confidence that he will still be alive in four years – has dropped sharply since March."

Is Trump OK? Unhinged reaction to rise of Harris worries supporters

Rambling speeches peppered with insults, narcissism and an obsession with crowd size have raised questions about the former president’s fitness for office

The Guardian

"While Biden’s run for re-election was largely sunk by a single disastrous televised debate before a national audience, Trump is ramping up doubts with each chaotic, disjointed speech as he campaigns around the country."

"While rambling discourse and outrageously disprovable claims, interspersed with spite and vitriol, may seem nothing new to many of Trump’s supporters and critics alike, the former president appears to have been driven to new depths by suddenly finding himself running against Kamala Harris a month ago."

“God bless Adam Kinzinger for telling the truth about his (and my) party, now corrupted to its core. MAGA snowflakes get triggered by him, suggesting he’s a RINO Judas. But the actual reason they hate him is that he reminds them of something they abandoned years ago: their integrity.”

What our columnists and contributors thought of her speech, and those of Gretchen Whitmer, Roy Cooper and more.

The New York Times

"BREAKING: Last night after VP Harris' speech, one CNN 'undecided voter' panelist said he'd now vote for Trump. We found his pro-Trump social media posts, including Trump's mugshot and disappointment that Mike Pence didn't overturn the election."

So those "undecideds" who have the media's undying attention and interest are often game-playing Trump voters lying re: being "undecided"? Who'd have thought it?

@wdlindsy He's a LIAR just like the man he'd vote for! Our Media is SOOOO broken!
@wdlindsy
We should inform CNN. Easy in the bird site. Maybe through their website?
@Scotter A good idea — probably there's a contact link at their website?
@wdlindsy
I would like to discuss this with CBS Morning News and Tony Dokoupil because he does a lot of voter interviews
@wdlindsy
It helps if you know the reporter's name
@wdlindsy I'm sure voters are considering Trump's age now and looking closely at JD Vance. He's no Kamala Harris.
@DebErupts Well-noted and well-stated. And RFK Jr. is no spring chicken himself, either, is he?
@wdlindsy RFK Jr. has lost his mind. I loved it when Bill Clinton reminded the DNC he's younger than Trump. That woke a few people up to reality.
@DebErupts Yes, a delicious moment, that one with Clinton.
