OLD MAN YELLS AT BALLROOM: "...even his own supporters are seeing through the cracks..." [View all]

Trump's recent appearance at a FIFA event highlights how he's a full-blown "elderly man" losing the support of his hardcore fans, an analyst wrote Monday.

The president received the FIFA Peace Prize at the World Cup 2026 draw last week, but his "yammering" appearance was more important for highlighting his "obvious decline", according to Heather Digby Parton. The Salon columnist suggested Trump's power base, including that of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, is surrounding Trump with made-up medals and praise.

But even his own supporters are seeing through the cracks and believe the president is fading. Parton wrote, "Mind you, the hardcore base is sticking with Trump so far because, like their idol, they can never admit they were wrong."

"But even they are starting to feel the dissonance of hearing this feeble, elderly man yammering about peace amid daily news footage of grotesque attacks on immigrants, boat strikes and increasingly bellicose warmongering."
