Trump's Cognitive Decline Cant Be Ignored - Boston Globe

Trump “running” anywhere. That’s a good one!

The “doesn’t seem to have lost his ability to focus” is a good one too. How would we know if he “lost” focus? Guy has never shown an ability to focus or process information (famously doesn’t read, had to receive Presidential briefings as illustrated and condensed notes, etc). Obviously his recent appearances have almost all gone off the rails incoherently, but that is often par for the course and not necessarily new. The only “focus” Trump ever exhibited was when he non-productively focuses on a single thing. Like building the wall, or the apparantly still self-consuming idea he actually won the 2020 election. You might call that “focus”, I know alot of people who might call that behavior OCD. A disease. Prolly also relevant to point out OCD has correlation to dementia.

If they insulate him and allow him to stay the last couple of months that has nothing to do with the next 4 years. So because they don't want to humiliate him and have a civil war in the party over 60 days you refuse to answer the question about now and the next 4 years? Come on man

 

Talk about hitting the nail on the head.

Because in Trump’s case, it’s not true.

 

If Trump is too far gone is it too late to run a Vance-Gabbard ticket ?

 

I don’t think they were lying. He had (and still has) the mental capacity to do the job. The issue is that he isn’t as sharp as he used to be, and it was bad optics for him to not be able to easily handle Donald Trump in a debate.

 

If @benton_quest dislikes what you are saying then you are on the right track

 

So, you want ignorant, incoherent, unfocused, unhinged, vindictive Donald Trump to be the guy with the nuclear codes.



It's been reported that Biden was successful in deterring Putin from using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. I wouldn't be surprised if Putin flattered Trump into using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine or Iran, telling him he'd be a tough guy bad ass, but knowing it would make the U.S. an international pariah.

 

So Trump's many unhinged performances are not reflective of a cognitive decline but are really a strategy of providing comedic relief for the attendees at his MAGA rallies and the viewers of his "interviews"?

 

Fixed that for ya

 

Righties are gonna end up having to defend Sleepy Don for being old and senile, after spending years dragging the Sleepy Joe thing. The sweet irony of life.

 

" . . . If not for imploding in the debate, Biden would be the nominee and everyone who favors Left on this board would be proclaiming him as "the best"".

NO. They'd be saying that, on his worst day, Biden is better than Trump on his best day. And, they'd be right.

 

1) I wouldn’t characterize them as “unhinged.” Maybe “unfocused,” but he’s always been that way.
2) Trump could be a stand-up comedian.

 

Regarding immigration, Republicans are all about bitching and moaning and using border security to hammer the opposition, but they DO NOTHING constructive whatsover, even when they have the power to do so.

 

Flip side is the Dems have been doing it with Biden for a few years but now are trying to smash Trump about it..

Hence me not voting for either Party up top.

 

Only if she agrees to continue her push for Medicare for all

 

Oh I saw them. But feel free to show me you posting your concerns about Bidens cognitive ability going south anytime before the disaster June debate. I’m sure you have posts showing you were concerned LOL. We all know the answer to that. Play politics, rinse, repeat
