It’s a great point that even though Biden showed some of the same signs, he had competent people in his cabinet to mitigate the effects, which is something that Trump doesn’t have since he stupidly stacked his cabinet with sycophants. Biden also seemed like he was a reasonable person who would take advice from people in his cabinet (maybe not so much about stepping aside in time though). Trump is not a reasonable person and makes decisions based on his gut, which means we’re in a terrible situation if he does have dementia.
