His job is to go to Trump rallies and make a record of the intensifying insanity:

Trump's prepared texts warn that Biden is a radical who will make various extreme and destructive changes to people's lives.

Ad-libbing Trump warns that Biden is so boring that if Biden wins, "nobody's gonna be interested in politics anymore."— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 21, 2020

He really does think of the presidency as another reality TV show. This is not a metaphor or an analogy — it’s a literal description.

Trump in the usual faux-casual tone he employs for this lie: "And by the way, Mexico, you know, they keep saying — Mexico is paying for the wall. They understand that. They're paying for the wall. Mexico is paying for it."https://t.co/RmHnFSiVJh— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 21, 2020

His whole life has been selling time shares for condos that are never built.

Trump, again being defensive about Biden's fundraising, repeated his story about how he could be the "king of all fundraisers, the greatest that ever lived," if he wanted to call the heads of the top 100 companies and ask, but he won't do that because then he'd owe them.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 21, 2020

I love that he’s so petty and insecure that this stuff really gets to him at the core of his being, such as it is.

Wow, milestone: Trump just told a Sir Story set in the future in which BIDEN is the president and being referred to as sir.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 21, 2020

Not in this one. The story was about how Trump's executive orders are going to cause drug prices to plummet and then, if Biden wins, someone will come up to Biden, sir, and give him undeserved credit that is really owed to Trump. https://t.co/j6JH7SuYUd— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 21, 2020

A good indication of the depths to which we’ve now sunk is that Trump keeps demanding that his own Attorney General launch a criminal investigation into his opponent and it’s barely even news:

Earlier, in a phone call to Fox News, the President called on Barr to open a preelection probe into his false claims that the former vice president is guilty of corruption in Ukraine — the country that Trump tried to coerce into interfering in the election to damage Biden in an abuse of power that got him impeached.
“We’ve gotta get the attorney general to act. He’s gotta act. And he’s gotta act fast,” Trump said in the interview. “This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election.”
The demand was the latest indication of how Trump has no compunction about using the powers of his office — meant to be reserved for the American national interest — to try to damage his political foes in full public view.

He’s delusional, but not completely so. He knows he’s going to lose, and badly, and it’s killing him (hopefully not before he has a chance to fully appreciate his complete and utter humiliation).

Calling it:
