    The same people voting for this fossil are saying Biden is too old. Their willfully ignorant hypocrisy is mind-blowing. I honestly don’t get how one can reach this level of cognitive dissonance without being aware of it.

    It would be hilarious if Trump just keeled over. Not only would his fans go nuts with insane theories but it would save the country a lot of trouble.

      Arguably, it’s the best thing that could happen for this country right now, that’s also in the realm of possibility. Like, a meteor conveniently taking out the more corrupt half of the supreme Court would obviously be better, but not realistic.

      I get a little bit excited every time there’s a Breaking News alert on my phone. Unfortunately the definition of breaking news is now such that it basically means someone retweeted something stupid.

    Trump is clearly a moron with some kind of clinical brain dysfunction, but this is just like 2 seconds of fumbling with words, which pretty much anyone who does public speaking can do. I was expecting more than like 2 second’s worth based on how big a deal the story sounded like.

    IDK, maybe Newsweek is trying to run cover for him by running a big non-story about something innocuous to distract from the Nikki Haley / Nancy Pelosi thing.

      I really don’t understand Newsweek.

      Right, it’s one or two words he fumbles. His cognitive decline has been observed since 2016, nothing new here.

      The article first says the video “is stoking concern among social media users” which, if you ask me, is not something news worthy. But then it goes on to point out how this was re-posted by the Biden campaign. Which does seems a little more of interest than just a bunch of yahoos on twitter pointing fingers.

      Newsweek seems to always have a bullshit story above the fold and something somewhat relevant below it.

      You aren’t wrong about any of this, but let’s not forget that a split second “BYAAAAAH” (Howard Dean) can tank an entire presidential run if it gets media attention.

      With that said, Trump has had dozens of these blunders over the years. It means nothing.
