The media has been adding fuel on the Joe Biden ‘Age’ narrative defining the 80 year old President…
Biden may stutter…
He maybe a lousy speaker…..
But the President has been shown in. charge of American Foreign Policy with two conflicts running…
He has been shown time and again ON point in few times in camera ….
The same cannot NOT increasingly be said about Donald Trump….
The Republican ex-President seems to be having a rough time ….
He’s 77 years old and he has a full plate…..
Charged with 91 crimes in State and Federal Courts….
Sitting in on a civil case that will cost him a staggering $250M or More…..
And could lock him out of business in New York…..
Another civil case for sexual abuse that is already costing him $5M…..
And in these cases?
People he thought he had loyal to him?
Singing to the prosecutor’s ….
On top of all of this?
EVERY judge?
Except the one who seems to be rooting for him in Florida keeps ruling against him….
One has told him over and OVER to shut up in open court…..
Soooooo?
After all this stuff on his plate?
Donald John Trump other Republican’s running against him, who where afraid to knock him?
(Except Chris Christie)
Are NOW saying out loud what the Biden people have been saying….
Trump IS falling apart from the inside….
And the Biden campaign has also stepped up its posts about Trump’s verbal fumbles, including a minute-long video compilation of various miscues. In press statements, it has slammed Trump for mispronouncing “Hamas” and for musing aloud that the abbreviation for United States is spelled like the word “us.”
As Trump’s Republican rivals face growing pressure to stop his momentum, while Democrats seek to neutralize concerns about Biden’s age, the two sides are converging on a common argument — that Trump’s cognition has declined too far for him to lead the country again…
…
In recent speeches, Trump has incorrectly described Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as the leader of Turkey and falsely suggested Hungary shares a border with Russia. He has repeatedly referred to the Obama administration when he meant the Biden administration, and at one point he inaccurately suggested he’d beaten Obama — rather than Hillary Clinton — in the 2016 election.
Trump has also mispronounced “on purpose” as “on perfect” and “Marxist” as “markers,” and he has combined the names of Florida Democrat Andrew Gillum and Florida Republican Adam Putnam to get “Pullam.” At the end of one speech, he warned that the world must not slide into World War II, when he meant World War III.
Such verbal stumbles are hardly new for Trump, who in 2016 referred to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as “7/11” and in 2019 addressed Apple CEO Tim Cook as “Tim Apple.” But while the slips can be minor and not necessarily reflective of a broader issue, such mistakes have become political fodder at a time when critics scour Biden’s public appearances for evidence of age-related blunders — though Biden, like Trump, has a history of gaffes that goes back years or even decades…..
…
In some sense, Trump is being targeted by his own weapons, since he has been relentless in going after Biden’s age and mental competence….
…
Trump’s long history of being less than forthcoming about his health is also playing into questions about his age and acuity. His medical disclosures during the 2016 campaign were limited to a doctor’s note claiming he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.” Over the years, Trump has inconsistently reported his height and disclosed weights that would put him just below the threshold for obesity.
Trump also has bragged since 2020 that he aced a cognitive test that typically features questions such as identifying animals and remembering words from earlier in the exam….
…
“His verbal skills are limited,” Trump’s former attorney general, William P. Barr, said in a recent appearance at the University of Chicago. “He’s not very disciplined when it comes to what he says.”
