*Interview conducted in October-November, 2024.*

Rick Rosner: Speaking of something related but different, it’s less than two weeks until the election—12 days to be exact. Everyone’s on edge, waiting for any October surprises. This is a new topic.

Perhaps the big October surprise concerning Trump could be some footage of him groping a teenager at a public event. There’s a lot of buzz about it, but no one has actually seen the video yet. My guess is that there are plenty of photos and videos of Biden that MAGA supporters point to, claiming he’s acting inappropriately. It’s typically footage of him bending down to hug a little girl or embracing a grown woman for a couple of seconds, and they spin it as predatory behavior.

So, if there is this so-called “smoking gun” of Trump groping a teen, it could just be a clip of him hugging someone for a few seconds, exaggerated to seem worse. We’re waiting to see if such a video even exists. And if it does, and it’s truly incriminating—like showing actual inappropriate behavior—how many votes would that cost him?

That’s the current situation. Everyone is hoping for some  damning revelation. Trump, in the hopeful eyes of many liberals, seems to be struggling right now. He mispronounces words frequently, and while I don’t have an exact figure, he appears mentally sloppy.

You could argue that anyone at 78, especially after intense campaigning for months, would show signs of fatigue. But for hopeful liberals, they’re watching for any  meltdown. Ideally, for them, he’d have a visible health issue, like a seizure, which would be alarming for someone seeking the presidency. Not that I wish that, but something significant.
