That's not barely coherent, that's the weave!
Weaving in and out of reality more like.
Am really pissed off when interviewers or reporters don't just call him out there and then. They do it to people here in UK (a lot of the time) unless you're on a dog whistle station.
Most of them in russia, I assume.
I don't understand why Trump can't be happy to be one of the few people to have been a president. Why must he do it again?
Now, let him retire. He have the money. He is already famous. Just let him go in peace to the prison...
Still here and still not voting for trump. I do appreciate being able to vote for someone who is coherent. It would be nice to have a candidate progressive enough to address current and approaching crisis instead of the continuing this slide to the right.
Opinion section saying what the Politics section never will? Check.
Trump shouldn't be up there. I got no issue saying that and it isn't ageist. I'm not going to also memory hole all the people that blindly defended Biden when you could see with your own eye's his decline. GOP people never cared from the start it was just a talking point for them.
Same place they were physically then. Getting blind drunk in russia. Just like normal.
"barely coherent" is being generous. "Rarely coherent" or "almost never coherent" are more accurate.
for the GOP, it was never about age or fitness with Biden-- that was just another weakness to attack; it didn't even matter if it was true. With Trump, it's all about "our team must win"
They're not questioning him for the same reason questions about Biden's fitness were brushed aside until the debate; no one's actually listening to the old guy right now. For Biden, this was because his team was carefully controlling his public appearances. For Trump, it's because no one goes to his rallies except his supporters, and they're obviously not going to question him. Most people get the headlines and clips of his most outrageous statements, but almost all of them (myself included) would rather bash our own heads in with a crowbar than sit through one of his rambling, racist speeches.
At the debate, a large portion of the population is going to sit down and listen to Trump speak, and this time, his opponent won't be an even older, even more incoherent man. If that doesn't lead to questions about his fitness or mental state, then I will be concerned. But right now, the fact that no one is paying attention to Trump's mental decline makes sense to me.
