A claim by Donald Trump on Fox News that the crowd who attended the debate between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris "went absolutely crazy" when he was fact-checked led to both amusement and new questions about his mental decline on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday.The big issue? There was ...
"Let's remember, he is 78 years old. With so much attention on [President Joe] Biden's age when he was still in the race, it was overlooked that Trump is just a couple years younger and just as prone, maybe more so, to these verbal slips and confusion."
What a load of bullshit. Biden had some slip-ups. But he was never full on delusional the way Trump is.
"It's harder to pick it up from Trump sometimes because he's so loud and has been doing this for years, so we may be numb to it," he added. "There is a new focus here about his mental capability and fitness for office — certainly one that Democrats are pointing to. These mistakes, the mix-ups are seemingly only increasing by the day."
We are almost numb…? Well, I'm not. But I don't watch tv news and rarely see this asshole speak. I just read about it.
If you have a tire go flat, a doughnut is better, doesn't mean you should just leave it on forever because it's "good enough".
Biden was better than trump, but that's a dumb standard.
We should be running the best candidate possible, which means paying attention to what the Dem voter base wants and matching that. Not shoving what donors want down our throats because "what are you gonna do. Vote trump?". The real answer is they just won't vote
That's not what I was talking about at all. The point is that the media constantly focus on Biden's slip-ups whereas they try to normalize Trump's obvious madness. It is of course perfectly legitimate to question Biden's suitability as a candidate and I do believe he made the right decision to step down. But anyone who thinks Biden is unsuitable but Trump isn't is either a liar or a moron. Or both. It's usually both. And the media that promote this false equivalence are enemies of US democracy.
Wait until they realize he's committed a felony! Would you hire an unsentenced felon to work for you? Would you want them to be mayor or on your city council? Of course not! So who's the crazy person who's hiring a felon to be POTUS? An old weirdo who's clearly a malignant narcissist too?
Hard to say how much is dementia and how much is pure narcissism. He's always doctored past events in his memory to fit whatever narrative he wants to spew at the moment.
When nearly everything you say is a lie, it gets difficult remember the web of nonsense you've woven...not to mention making sure it makes logical sense. I think pre presidency he was actually pretty good at it because nothing really mattered and no one was checking his bullshit. Different story today...not that his followers care if he's lying to their face.
Questions about his mental health? Are you fucking joking? The lengths these people will go to so they don't have to flat out call him a liar is absurd...
Oh maybe he really believes it and he's just mentally unwell. Feel bad for poor poor aging Trump. Nooo it couldn't be that he's lying out of his fucking teeth to manipulate the population! Nooo he doesn't hold the amount of sway he currently does because of propaganda and a history of lying about absolutely everything. Nooo it's just poor poor aging Trump.... For fucks sake.
For real. Every single time I see an article about anything this jackass says, all I can think it "why are we reporting on the words of a liar?" Why are still playing this dumb game as if we can't read between the lines? Why are we still playing respectability politics as if any of this has been normal behavior of polite society? Can we please just start calling this shit what it is? Why isn't this headline just "Lying Man Lies Again"?

Raises questions? No, it answers questions that we already knew the answer to. He was, and still is, completely mentally unfit, and he's continually getting worse. What's left as a question?
