    “I talked to Putin a lot. I got along with him well, although he did announce the other day that he’d much rather see Biden as President,” Trump said. “And I agree with him.”
    ^Biden needs to use that sound bite in a campaign ad

    My oh my how Democrats love to project their own issues onto others. Let's see how Biden debates Trump which we all know is never going to happen. So long as Nikki Haley stays in the race Trump cannot invite Biden to a debate.

    People can see Biden's declining mental and physical condition. Intelligent people don't need a doctors opinion to make up their own minds, only those who are incapable of thinking for themselves need others to tell them just how bad Biden is. The president Mexico won't let the Palestinians out. The worst part is Biden didn't correct himself.

    And, Trump SUPPORTS Biden's Re-Election.
    “I talked to Putin a lot. I got along with him well, although he did announce the other day that he’d much rather see Biden as President,” Trump said. “And I agree with him.”

    Does anyone here do a lot of public speaking? I am in front of a classroom of 60-220 college students on a regular basis (3-4 times a week), and I can tell you, not a week goes by where I don't mess up a word, or have to search for a word in my mind, replacing it with another way of expression. I also have trouble with names (always had). Now, if someone would record my lectures and put those 1000s of hours over the last decades on the internet for everyone to scrutinize, I am sure they could find a lot of "duh" moments. And I am only 58.

    Now, those two gentlemen are clearly senior citizens. Do they have dementia? I don't think either one does. However, with the amount of public speaking they do, every little gaffe is amplified. Same goes with the stupid accusations of Biden not knowing which way to go off the podium. Those people are in unfamiliar places ALL THE TIME, while at the same time having to concentrate on their speech and answering questions. That's why they have handlers who tell them where to go, because they don't have time to check out premises beforehand and plan accordingly.

    I think both side have to step it down a notch with the "dementia" spiel. Are they spring chickens? Clearly not. Would I be happy if I still had their mental capacity and health when I am at their age? Absolutely.

    BTW: Mixing up a word here or there, or walking slowly, doesn't necessarily impact good judgement. That's what we are really looking for in a president.

    If memory serves, Trump refused to debate his opponents during the primaries.

    Further proof, according to your criteria, that he suffers from dementia.

    A POTUS's primary role is making decisions. He is not required to be genius IQ nor an entertainer.
    Joe also has a working moral compass with wisdom and honor's his sworn oath. Trump's wisdom is purely self service, the oath for him, a mere means to an end.

    I don’t understand any of this thread. Biden is senile, Trump has dementia. So what?

    We the DEMS already printed out all the ballot for NOV with Biden win. Biden will win – WI, MI, GA, PA and game over for Trump.

    Trump will go back to Mara-Lago ( if he can afford it) and complain about election fraud. Trump’s supporter will complain about election fraud.

    But life will go on. Joe Biden might be senile and can’t speak full sentence, but Joe Biden will be in White House, and Trump will live in MAGA funded house somewhere in Red state.

    So, then we’re free to “really complain about tRaitor tRump’s cognitive decline! Thanks!

    Truthfully, I find it hard to tell if it’s his cognition or that he’s running on drugs that prop him up. He’s late for major appearances and is sweating profusely, slurring words and unable to read a teleprompter when he does show up.

    Lately he appears to be on the edge of a mental and physical breakdown every time he appears in public.

    I was searching for a doctor who was an expert on dementia, I knew as soon as I read the title of this thread that surely I had found the man !

    Now let's see the old chap do Joe Biden next.
    Cheap political hack sacrificing his career for such a garbage lack of professional ethics.

    He may as well claim to have supposedly been practicing law for as long as he has been alive....
    That's the level of "credibility" there.

    Or Russia, because if he doesn’t win the clock will run out on his delaying tactics, he’ll face trial and be sentenced to prison. He won’t stick around for that.

    Because it is an issue DUH.

    Are you claiming Trump's current mental capacity disqualifies him from serving as President?

    Is it okay with you if I take a screenshot for posterity?

    * Edit. Never mind, I already did. Should be very useful for you two in the future.

    That’s a lie, on page 1. of the Hur report it states clearly that there is no evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. And on page 6. It’s stated that there are innocent explanations of his possession of documents. Only in Hur’s verbal comments did he claim President Biden wouldn’t be charged for cognitive reasons. Not surprising from a loyal tRaitor tRump appointee grinding his ax.

    sure but it's astro turf to him extraordinary transparent and everybody knows what you're trying to do.
    I think you're biased and easily manipulated.
    how do you determine that?

    Trying to point out that President Biden, by all accounts, is in solid control of his faculties; I’m glad it’s obvious.
    You accuse me of that frequently, ignoring that it’s you who are most guilty.
    By watching him speak.

    Biden is clearly in a worse state of dementia or whatever the **** he has. Trump is just dumb. Maybe he has dementia too but his stupidity is worse because even when he’s having a good mental day he’s still a moron.

    And it is not as if America has not had a president with dementia in the office before -
    https://www.history.com/news/5-presidents-who-hid-their-health-issues

    Two had “strokes” whilst in office, one was on pain medication, and Ronnie classically was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s not long after leaving office. In some cases the spouse stepped in to maintain the running of the White House, in other cases it was the team chosen by the president

    So let’s do a compare and contrast on those teams shall we?

    Trump
    1. Spouse Melania Trump - most famous for naked lesbian photos
    2. VP was Mike Pence someone with the personality of an elf on a shelf who despite being very loyal was targeted for hanging
    3. Whitehouse and support staff - highly unstable - 92% turnover during his administration https://www.brookings.edu/articles/...m” turnover,executive office of the president.
    4. Over 3,500 recorded conflicts of interest https://www.citizensforethics.org/r...mp-legacy-corruption-3700-conflicts-interest/
    5. White House and admin “leaked like a sieve” with multiple whistleblowers sounding alarm bells

    Biden
    1. Spouse Dr Jill Biden - PHD - lecturer and academic
    2. VP - Kamala Harris - although hated by the right she has held previous offices such as Attorney General. Interestingly, when conspiracies about who is really running the White House arise she is never mentioned but she has been very visible supporting female rights
    3. White House and support staff - turnover rate consistent with other administrations https://www.brookings.edu/articles/... Biden's "A,executive office of the president.
    4. Few scandals about mismanagement of portfolios - CREW has identified some near breaches of the Hatch act https://www.citizensforethics.org/?s=biden+corruption+&_paged=2
    5. Few whistleblowers with the most outstanding being Biden can and does swear

    Believing Team Biden about Biden's state of being would be the same as believing Trump when he told you he didn't try to steal the election.
