Trump Cognitively Declines In Front Of The World During Meet With NATO Leader
(www.politicususa.com)
We should tie a mandatory government retirement age to Medicare or social security eligibility so there's some pressure to keep it below 80.
It's wild that people aren't expected to work at his age and in a lot of cases aren't allowed to drive anymore. But here is this decrepit old cunt steering the world backward into ruin.
Cognitive tests from a third party would be beneficial too.
I mean, the President and Executive have two separate and independent, third parties who are responsible for checks and balances against them, and look where that’s gotten us.
They’re all corruptible.
True.
I think it would be great if we set the age limit to be tied to a percentage of the average expected lifespan of the country's citizens in some way. Setting a hard age limit wouldn't be adaptive enough.
It would incentivize them to pass legislation and regulations which help increase everyone's life expectancy. It would also somewhat help in the case of a future where some medical advances allow only those with enough money to have insanely increased lifespans.
Is Joe Biden in the room with us right now?
👀
"Don't you think he looks tired?"
It's trump being stupid, nothing to do with his age
por que no los dos?
because it's been decades that he's been saying stupid things
No. You’re wrong. Even as late as 2015 he was able to answer a question. What we’re unwilling witnesses to is his stupidity and serious cognitive decline.
Because one is trying to hamfist bias into a nothing situation. Guy dumb? Sure. But, are all dumb guys who do dumb things, doing dumb things at this moment because of our predisposed bias against that dumb guy? If a man from Florida does something awkward, is he a ‘Florida Man’? Or does ‘Florida Man’ require a certain level of ridiculous behavior?
What
Commenter cognitively declined in front of world during comment.
It's contagious.
“Trump Bad”, but that’s not necessarily because of this incident though. This incident isn’t a good reflection of anything other than Trump is just being awkward Trump in front of a group and camera.
We need to separate “Trump Bad” from ‘everything dumb he says’, and keep our eyes and voices targeted toward his human rights violations, unconstitutional behavior and corruption.
Just because he’s ’Florida man’ sometimes, doesn’t mean everything he does is ‘Florida Man.’ Keep your eyes on the ball and don’t get roped into sensational headlines.
Oh. Sure. But we've already done all of this before. His cult's brainwashing will continue unabated throughout this term.
Just ask them when Trump delivers the Epstein files
The next time Trump tells anyone to stop talking about Epstein, someone needs to tell him that he needs to shut the fuck up about Biden first. For fuck's sake.
Whoever does this will be a hero
I don't see how anything he said shows he is declining?
Actually among all the bullshit he is letting out, this seems very coherent by comparison.
Seriously. “Esprit de corps”? Where the hell did he get that from? He blamed everything on Biden and it didn’t make any sense, but that’s not anything new, that’s what won him the election.
The actual, literal quote speaks for itself
And I have to tell you, Europe has a lot of spirit for this war. A lot of people, you know, when I first got involved, I really didn't think they did, but they do. And I saw that a month ago when you were there, most of you many of you were there. The level of esprit de corps spirit that they have is amazing.
Sounds like average Trump nonsense tbh. I agree he IS mentally declined but that had to have started ages ago.
Having watched the video and even read the script… it just sounds like he’s in front of a group and camera, and filling the space conversationally. It’s awkward, it’s his dumb speech patterns, but it doesn’t scream at me or stand out for being belligerent or worse than anything else. This one is a nothing burger.
Only because we keep lowering the bar for him. We disqualified Howard Dean because he screamed funny....
This shouldn’t be a bar lowering item to begin with. These or dumb human things, which we all are or do sometimes. The words here really shouldn’t be worth pointing at the guy and laughing about. It’s barely worth me even saying anything about here. Only slightly more worth my time is seeing if I can snap 1 or 2 people out of stooping so low to mock the guy for being human… that they’re missing more important and glaring issues.
This only show how stupid he is like he always been. Nothing to do with his age
Sounds like someone was playing Disco Elysium.
Agreed. Same rambling as always.
I get actual reporting can be boring and dull. That doesn't mean we have to start our own newmax or breitbart. It will be only a matter of time until we get some crazy ass left wing nut as a result.
Defeating lies/exaggerations can only be done with knowledge and truth. Please do better with the news sources. This feels more like AI left-wing grifters.
tfw anyone needs to be convinced he's demented
