    Reminiscent of the way nobody from the party without a plan gave a crap about Joes health or threw tantrums in lieu of admitting Joe was slipping.

    That’s all we need is another potato pretending to be in charge.

    How will you know if he is crazy? You see the clip where he refused to believe the photo shopped MS13 wasnt tattooed on a fist in Time New Roman font? The dude is a looney bin crazy person who cant tell the truth from reality. You see him present a protest cross parade as actual graves? You see him show the Congo and claim it was South Africa? You see him say tariffs are paid by China?

    He is disconnected from reality already and there wont ever be enough for his supporters or tolerators.

    This. When you can't believe you actually lost the election, that you couldn't have done anything better, that eggs are down 90%. The man is disconnected from reality. Admit it maga, he's delusional

    You post would have more weight if you would admit you were wrong about Robert Hur and apologize for your comments about him. The people that could not see any wrong with Biden but now are making medical decisions on Trump, I have a hard time taking seriously.

    As far as I can tell Americans empower political leaders that are a reflection of themselves.

    Apologies if that’s an ouchie.

    I can understand your position from a political "gotcha" point of view/whataboutism, but from a rational perspective, is it in anybody's best interest to hold that point of view when POTUS is this irrational?

    Trump has always been irrational. And without getting into a 20+ page posting war, I think the RussiaGate events played into his paranoia and likely made it worse. I'm not particularly interested in defending Trump but I think it shows an argument in bad faith when someone that was saying Biden was fine, is now claiming they can diagnose Trump's medical condition.

    You don't need to base your view of Trump's mental state on what other people tell you. All you have to do is watch Trump and draw your own conclusion. If you're being honest, you know there is something wrong with the man.

    We’ll know if Trump is in cognitive decline when he rambles about roaches and leg hair.

    To post on a thread about Trump's mental condition, but claim you don't wish to defend him and proceed to discuss Biden is fairly disingenuous. You dismiss his irrational state as pre-existing as if that is even remotely satisfactory. Biden is no longer POTUS and the one we have seems to be "bat trump crazy" at this juncture.

    My point is that the people that still claim Biden was fine but are now claiming Trump has a mental issue, are disingenuous.

    If there was a way to invoke the 25th Amendment on Trump that would work, I would be in favor of it. The issue is that I think those in favor of this would not like the reault with Vance as POTUS.

    The effort to hide Biden’s condition is problematic and deserves a reckoning. But at least, eventually, the reckoning came. Individuals such as yourself will make excuses for Trump until he is 6 ft under.

    I think Trump is a harder case and isn’t quite the same. He clearly is mentally very quick, but more and more seems to believe things that aren’t true and more obsessed with things he probably shouldn’t be.

    Biden’s decline was intentionally hidden. Trumps is in plain sight for all to see.

    SNL Weekend Update use to have a character called the second hand news guy that got all of his news second hand and was always wrong. Trump now seems to be a POTUS version of that guy but gets all of his news from MAGA twitter.

    The first time Biden acted incoherent in public he was axed. You can go to the debate thread that still exists. Biden never demonstrated a break from reality. He demonstrated that he was old.

    Trump can’t tell what is real. It’s a huge flaming problem.
