You have an accurate gauge of how off the walls Donald Trump is on any given day. All you have to do is go to right-wing media and see how ferociously they’re printing a distraction story on Joe Biden. Yesterday, Trump was at the Capitol, the first time since January 6, 2021. He made his peace formally by shaking Mitch McConnell’s hand and cutting into a birthday cake. Those were the visuals. The audio accompanying Trump recent visit not only to Washington, D.C. but recently to Las Vegas tells a much stranger tale.

Very weird. So to counterbalance that the New York Post has a photo of Joe Biden wandering off, seemingly confused. Here’s what really happened.
The Murdoch outlets are so desperate to distract from @POTUS's record that they just lie.
Here, they use an artificially narrow frame to hide from viewers that he just saw a skydiving demonstration.
He's saying congratulations to one of the divers and giving a thumbs up. Video: https://t.co/Pn0uGtzpLy pic.twitter.com/tDowABzud3

This is par for the course. Every single time Biden is out in public this happens. Last week there was a to do about him “squatting” on a stage. The frame was cut before he sat down as other people sat down within seconds.
Cinema is a drug. It can be manipulated. And the camera always lies, it’s just a question of whether the camera likes you and gives you an extra dimension or the camera doesn’t like you and takes away from dimension you actually have. Barbara Bush famously commented on numerous occasions that the camera made her husband George H.W. look smaller. I don’t doubt that. I personally met the actor Michael Ironside once in Los Angeles. The camera does the same thing to him. Also to Rod Stewart, who I happened to be in the same restaurant lobby with one time. When you see this phenomenon with your own eyes, it’s something to behold. Most of the time the camera makes people look heavier.
This election is no holds barred. Expect manipulated footage on the part of the right-wing because they have to fight with subterfuge, considering how crazy their candidate is. Let’s go check that out, Trump’s recent ravings on “horrible” Milwaukee, who will be his host next month, plus Taylor Swift and Nancy Pelosi. New York Times:
But on a day when Mr. Trump returned to Capitol Hill to unite congressional Republicans behind him, more than three years after a group of his supporters mounted a violent effort to try to keep him in the White House, much of the focus was instead on stray comments he made, including about a populous city in a critical battleground state that will soon play host to his nominating convention.
According to various people in the room, Mr. Trump, during his meeting with House members at the Capitol Hill Club, complained that the pop music megastar Taylor Swift would support President Biden over him. Mr. Trump has previously argued that Ms. Swift, who endorsed Mr. Biden in 2020 but has not done so this year, should back him instead.
He falsely claimed that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter once told him that he and her mother might have been a good match, a comment that some lawmakers interpreted to refer to a romance, while others said that it merely referred to a professional partnership. One of Ms. Pelosi’s daughters pushed back on social media, calling Mr. Trump’s reported remark a lie.
And perhaps most striking, he disparaged the city of Milwaukee — the most populous city in the swing state of Wisconsin and the site of the Republican National Convention in July — over its crime rate, remarks that lent themselves to some dispute.
Mr. Trump’s exact phrasing and his degree of disdain for the city were disputed by his allies, including some in the room. But his campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, acknowledged on X that Mr. Trump had criticized the city’s crime rate and its role in his loss in the 2020 election, which Mr. Trump still insists he won.
Democrats, likely eager for an edge in a battleground state, immediately seized on the comments. “Let’s be clear: Milwaukee is not a horrible city — and Wisconsinites should remember what Donald Trump thinks of them when they vote in November,” Alex Floyd, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement.
Trump can explain what he meant by that when he’s in Milwaukee. He gets himself into these messes because when he’s at a MAGA rally or anyplace he feels comfortable to be the Catskills comic and tabloid figure. He says things that maybe, in a closed door environment, the proverbial smoke-filled back room of politics, would go over just fine to the intended audience. But outside that room the boorishness and lack of taste and judgement are glaring.
This is the shape of things to come between now and November 5. Get a heavy raincoat, boots and unbrella. It’s going to be a real shitstorm, I’m telling you now.
Every time CONVICTED FELON DON VON SHITZINPANTS twitches his upper anus its a $hitstorm!
So…I guess the pussies in Milwaukee are safe for now.
