“I’m proud to officially name the undispuut...” Trump said, before muttering unintelligible gibberish for about two seconds.

“Trump, slurring: I’m proud to officially name the...undishpu...the...jshhhh...whendidthiscomeout,” wrote the Headquarters account, which is operated by Harris’ team.

Sure, this makes sense, but it's far from certain that's how it will go. This is all speculation anyway, but I expect there will be dramatic struggle and competition to get Vance's ear. By many accounts he is not well liked nor much valued among trumpists, it is possible he knows it, so it very well could distract or impede them from doing more direct harm to American citizens. But either way, as things are and going as they have been, I don't think it's wise to bide tine til November. How many more people will have been disappeared by then? Trump dead or not, something has to happen that restricts their ability to operate, and soon.

Anyway I heard some doctor estimate he had 4-5 months to live, 2 months ago. I hope he was overestimating. But then we've heard all this hopeful talk before.
