Trump cognitive decline increasingly difficult to conceal despite setting low bar

Susan Glasser, staff writer for the New Yorker, talks with Alex Wagner about the unavoidable fact of Donald Trump's mental deterioration and how Trump has managed to set the bar so low that his stumbles are often ignored, in contrast to how President Biden is scrutinized.

''I don't care about you. I just want your vote.''

Donald tRUMP

[redwoods]

Trump belongs in the Big House, not the White House.

[EndlessSurprisesSD]

Actually, Biden's famous quote at the 2020 debate against tRump was, "Will you shut up, man?"

[Terastas]

It was so bad that everyone seems to be forgetting that Trump said at the exact same rally "I don't care about you, I just want your vote."

[jojolouis]

But the MAGA crowd love it!!! He's at their intellectual level, make them feel like he's one of them.

[Tcb]

It's astonishing that even over here in the UK, the press portrays Biden as old and mentally compromised, but completely ignores Trump's gibberish and obvious mental decline. It's so frustrating.

[mullethead]

Windmill noise causes cancer? If noise could do that....we would all be dead from listening to trump. Non stop word salad NOISE!!!

[davidleedutton]

And why was he talking about boats and sharks to people standing in the middle of the desert?

[jeffreyenglish]

As long as either the battery or the shark gets you I don’t care.

[batgurrl]

His word salad tirades are becoming more and more incoherent. He is unfit for office

[ricklee]

I can’t recall trump verbalizing even one single policy he’ll put into play while listening to him ramble on at his rally’s about sharks, toilets, water pressure, golden showers etc….I had to read about his future 10% tariffs, cutting Social Security and Medicare. Does the guy have any ideas at all for helping out the people of America that will not make everyone even poorer?

[Mckyfcky]

One is a Cult, the other is our Country.

[karenm]

How anything thinks this guy is even remotely qualified to be in any public office is incomprehensible to me, never mind potus.

[terrancerobinson]

If the battery would electrocute him in the water, wouldn't it electrocute the shark too? 🤔 I'd be more concerned about drowning.

[jessitaran]

Omg. The fact that this man was EVER our president is just so frikkin embarrassing. This just painful to even watch. Ugh.

[cruzmartinez]

This guy has lost it, and his followers should be ashamed to still follow him

[ericgreenberg]

I love the fact that he while he was bragging about his cognitive tests, he got the name of the doctor (Ronny Jackson) wrong. Sounds like an SNL skit.

[memyself]

I'm voting for the guy that has grown our economy, invested in our infrastructure, fights for our rights & supports democracy. President Joe Biden.

[jamesdaniels]

Why would anyone follow this guy is beyond me and the rest of sane people.

[bluesysaxman]

A former president will never be in a sinking boat with a shark 10 feet away, but I can dream.
