      I’m 8000km away, but… isn’t he getting worse? Not “his” politics, which have always been heinous. His mental state?

        think of the last 80 year old you interacted with. ask yourself the following questions:

        • were they as with it as your average 60 year old?
        • did they live as poorly as this guy does (keeping in mind he has access to all the food in the world and he chooses to eat fast food)
        • were they under as much stress as a US president?

        so… yes. it would seem he is mentally deteriorating. however, what would be a real surprise would be if he wasn’t.

          You only get stress from the job, if you actually care about, and DO the job. Fat-ass Kraznov only signs EO’s, between noon and 5 pm, and considers that a hard day’s work. He doesn’t give a literal shit about outcomes and who suffers from his negligence, so he doesn’t get stressed.

            for sure. i considered not including that element. but then i thought about it more and i decided to leave it because your average 80 year old can can just putter, sit, read, and listen to music all day. they don’t have to do public appearances

          I wonder if he would have been happier in prison. Did no one tell him that he would have had a pretty nice setup behind bars?

        If he was poor, he’d be in and out of county jails forever, stinking of stale unchanged diaper, since there’s no public psych treatments available for poors. Since he’s rich (from inheritance) and “famous”, the made him President…

        He is getting much worse, and quickly. It’s so annoying how Biden would give a speech and fumble at some point (as he had done his entire life, dealing with a speech problem) and the press would report the hell out of it, but this chuckle fuck does far worse daily, and it’s just kind of a shrug and “eh, what can we do? ¯\_(ツ)_ /¯”

          There’s a difference between a stutter and completely forgetting what you’re trying to say every 3 words.

          There was a conspiracy of silence around how pudding-brained Biden was until he dropped out. For 5 years yall gaslighted anyone who mentioned it by pointing at him reading prepared speeches while the guy couldn’t talk to the press after like 4pm.

          That’s not to say Trump isn’t senile, it comes through every time he goes off-script.
