I low-key suspect that the attempted assassination has affected Trump more than he wants to let on, and he isn't actually invested in being president anymore.

He was already pretty dry at that point. No one talked about because Biden was wven worse, but he's declined a lot. Probably been like this since he had Covid

I was honestly surprised by how… nice he was being to Biden in the first debate while the guy was sundowning live on air. There was only one quip (I’m not sure what he’s saying and I don’t think he knows what he’s saying) but otherwise he seemed completely checked out from being his usual self.

Yeah, i imagine in Trumps debate prep they decided not to push to hard if Biden went full senile. Most people wouldn't react well to seeing a senile old man attacked.
