'Very unnerving': Trump debate stand-in says ex-president's health is 'clearly diminished'
Raw StoryThe political consultant who stood in for Donald Trump during Kamala Harris' debate preparations was struck by how much the former president's health has seemingly declined. Reines closely watched Trump's performance in previous debates going back nearly a decade, and he said the former president's mental and physical fitness were clearly diminished. "The first thing I noticed, and I later compared notes with Bob Bauer, who played the same role for vice president Biden," Reines said. "That is hard to tell because he looks generally the same and he's equally loud," Reines added, "and somehow being louder and tanner has been equated to health, and it's just not there is something and, we saw today, irrespective of what the vice president did, what the former president did is very unnerving."
