No, not that guy, the other one:
Former President Donald Trump failed to impress everyone in a room full of top CEOs Thursday at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting, multiple attendees told CNBC.
“Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” said one CEO who was in the room, according to a person who heard the executive speaking. The CEO also said Trump did not explain how he planned to accomplish any of his policy proposals, that person said.
Several CEOs “said thatwas remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map,” CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin reported Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
So what else is new. The only reason I note this is that in a race that seems so focused on age, we’re going to hear a lot of this - I also saw a story that quoted anonymous randos that Biden was having trouble at the G7. The “top CEOs” comments were also anonymous, but we know who was there (including Tim Cook), and CNBC is not exactly a liberal-leaning rumor site.
To me the difference is that Biden starts from a point of experience and competence in government, whereas Mr. Inject Bleach has always been a little unhinged and is becoming moreso under the stress.06-15-2024, 01:08 PMBut they'll still vote for him and give him money because the main thing they want is that he extends and expands the tax breaks he gave them the first go around - and even a drooling fool can deliver that if the Republicans have control of the House and the Senate, too.06-15-2024, 01:50 PMAt first, there was some fear he would shake things up as a populist outsider, but ultimately they were expecting a useful idiot. And they got it, Trump, loose cannon as he was as a speaker, overall met Federalist and Big C Conservative objectives. His staff made sure he did't break anything important to the Movement. In a second term, as an eroded shell of his earlier self, they expect him to be an even more useful idiot.06-15-2024, 05:03 PMAnd we are being ill-served by a media that refuses to print articles about the actual state of the economy or about the infrastructure projects that are coming into fruition, because they are too busy reporting on the Old Man Wars.06-15-2024, 05:13 PMTrump is a con man. That's just about the only thing he's really good at. He's not even very a good useful idiot …06-15-2024, 06:03 PM$tevie wrote:

Remind me again, who owns that media?

That wasn't a freeze. That was his teleprompters going out. You can see him shake his head in disgust.
What is significant about this is that without the teleprompter, he is at a loss for words. 2016 Trump, and probably 2020 Trump, would have spoken off the cuff and ranted about all sorts of stuff, including that the teleprompters weren't working, and filled the time with a nice round of Lock Her Up. Instead, he stands waiting for them to come back online.
Actually, this has happened to him a couple of times. I am wondering if someone involved in Trump's event staging has it in for him. :-) And the last time Trump said he wasn't going to pay them, so this could become a regular thing.

That will be apparent come debate night.
