He’s very obviously cognitively impaired, and has been accelerating in his decline. It’s right there for all to see.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Except of course for the corporate media that do the best they can to cover up his obvious mental illness and dementia.
Regardless of blind political party worship, he is, seriously, TOO DAMN OLD. I am so happy that we got Biden to step down, absolutely love the "youthful" energy of Kamala!
I've met a lot of geriatric people with tons of energy and young people who make sloths look hyperactive. It depends highly on the person.
No, sorry, cognitive decline is inevitable. Nobody over 70, no more.
when did he have a grasp on reality?
Never. Never is the correct answer. He's been delusional his whole life.
Maybe it was when he said there were airports in the 1700's? Wait, no... Shoot. You know, I'm starting to think this man may have a bit of dementia...
said there were airports in the 1700’s
WTF
Seriously. "Where Have You Fucking Corporate Newspeople BEEN"
Trump didn’t bother to correct his mistake, and the crowd clapped anyway.
Today’s GQP in a nutshell.
Sometimes I wonder how many paid actors they place in the crowd to clap and hype everyone up.
Not enough. True believers in the cult gravitate to the rallies for - reasons. Including “not having to be politically correct”.
Nothing about that is new. That has been going on for a decade now.
Sad but true
If he does win, they will 25th Ammendment him and put ~~Peter Thiel~~ J D Vance in charge I guarantee it.
That would require the people he selects for his cabinet to have a spine, which I don't see happening. Trump is easy enough to manipulate, they don't need to get rid of him.
It will be a Reagan scenario only Don Jr will play the part of Nancy Reagan's clairvoyant and Rudy Guiliani will play Nancy.
You mean Rudy will be the "Throat GOAT"?
I think he'd be so into that.
Saw this here a while ago and I think it belongs here.
The people behind him would replace him in a heartbeat. The tech bros want to carve the US into kingdoms, and Putin wants the US to be balkanized.
People were saying that in 2016 and every year since.
So he's the easy to manipulate tool for the republicans as well as being Putin's? Probably..
I have said the extract same thing.
That's the point! Republicans loved Regan because for at least the last two years of his presidency, he didn't even know who he was and they could get away with all kinds of shit.
His cult:
He was just joking
He then tried to correct his mistake, tweeting about “internal polling in Louisiana” that showed him “winning the state by the largest margin.” (Sure, let’s see those polls!)
He's just talking about THIS internal polling
During his speech on Tuesday, Trump’s brain also short-circuited when he tried to talk about the 2017 violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“She didn’t say anything except lies, like bloodbath, like Charlottestown,”
He was just translating the french "ville" to english as "town" because his stable genius brain is always working
The only internal polling he truly understands is date night with putin.
Being Putin’s cockholster is a full time job
Every state he goes to all he sees are the two sheets of glass.
Easy mistake to make.
Member when we had already decided he was a corrupt criminal heading for jail? Guess he upgraded to just being a dumb weirdo.
Wasn’t that the 1990’s? Then he funded some stupid reality show to rehabilitate his image? Yeah, I expected that to crash and burn, and him go off to jail. I have no idea how the last couple decades of politics happened
Lead. So much fucking lead. In the paint in the pipes in the gas.
My uncle's used to literally cast lead soldiers in the attic of their childhood home.
Then Play army men.
They knew lead was poisonous 3,000 years ago. What. The. Fuck.
Just now? He didn't years ago?

Is this a headline from 2018?
I agree with the sentiment but the order of words in the title and text appear a bit weird to me. For instance, "totally lost grasp..." and "can't even seem to..." make more sense to me than how it was posted.
I was gonna ask if they asked Trump to decide the headline.
You cannot lose something you never had.
“Appears?” Does water “appear” wet? Does the sky “appear” to contain air? Man… journalism has gotten lazy.
I think the story is from 2015. I haven't read it, but the title makes that seem likely.
Oh hey an article from 2015.
well he is very old
