Donald Trump was in the middle of talking about fossil fuels when a fly distracted him, and critics say he came off looking old and even confused.Trump, who at the end of September was similarly thrown off when a small fly stole his thunder at a rally, causing him to rant about how things wouldn't...

    Isn’t this the second time he’s had a fly buzzing around him recently?

    He either needs to ignore them, or keep fresher diapers.

            That sounds plausible. Neither in those 3 times there was anything visible on the camera and what are the odds suddenly those flies attacking him on every rally now?

                  Never said he was sober. He loves the pills and the powder.

                  But he’s a teetotaler because his older brother struggled mightily with alcoholism for much of his life, and died rather young at 43.

      There have been people recently who work/worked for him saying he smells like death and shit, so bad it’s hard to be around him.

    It’s hilarious, but disgusting. They need to take him out back, strip him down, and use a hose and scrub brushes and clean him off before somebody contracts some new super disease from being around him.

      I think the quote is the story:

      He continued, saying, “See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. But they’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer.”

      That’s really weird.
