What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

He also said he was beating Obama in the polls.

It was a joke! Can't you lefty liberal communist socialists bastards take a joke? Or is joking going to be cancelled by you wokeratiy now too? Woo MAGA or something!

Thats really unfair.

How can you expect them to apply the same standards to Trump and to Biden? Like the same standards?

Are you trying to trigger a severe attack of cognitive dissonance?

Have you no shame?

I would have more sympathy for this if you didn't have a strong track record of posting stuff and then disappearing immediately when challenged. I have quoted you on at least 10 occasions over the past few months challenging your views and received one reply at most. You're quite entitled to have your own view on these topics but you should at least be prepared to debate people. You seem to treat this as an opportunity to just drop links and bizarre statements and then disappear, which really is a form of trolling, and I don't blame people for going after you whatsoever.

A centralist wouldn't have to surly apply the same standards for both candidates would they? Asking for a very busy man

Have there been any spoof psychiatric interviews with Trump as the patient? (or even as the psychiatrist)

Would Frazier be up for it?

The man is surely comedy gold.

Many people make verbal gaffes. George W Bush did it in virtually every sentence.

And often as people get older, their immediate recollection of items from their memory can be slower than what it used to be. And at this point, there's so many cameras recording what Trump and Biden say, it's not surprising that events like this will happen.

And for me personally, I'm not overly bothered about it. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather the person in power to be at their top of their game but them being hesitant, or forgetful, isn't the crisis that it is made out to be.

Presidential decision making is not carried out at the speech lectern (a fact Trump didn't understand to be fair) and Presidents don't make ad-hoc decisions without the influence or consult of the vast number of aides and advisors at their service (also a fact Trump struggled with it must be said). What matters is that the person in charge can display the mental capacity to grasp and analyze the information presented to them in the appropriate settings. And in this respect, all the evidence is that Trump is the one who suffers in this regards with former aids saying they had to dilute daily intelligence briefings to his capacity, and former appointed officials of his (Rex Tillelrson/John Bolton) saying that he simply did not understand the events he was making decisions on.

The reason I posted about Trumps gaffes yesterday was to highlight the hypocrisy of people on here who post so frequently with faux concern about the capability of Biden to be President due to some such gaffes. The 'it's concerning' 'it's troubling' type BS we see accompanying such posts and silence/ignorance on Trump/McConnel displaying similar behaviours.

FDR was effectively paralyzed from the waist down and managed to lead the US through WW2 and to conceal his illness from many in the public including some heads of state of other countries. Ronald Reagan, touted as the greatest Republican President for many still alive today was said by his son to have been suffering from Alzheimer's during his Presidency (he said this after Reagan was no longer President).

The candidates age and mental capacity is being made too big a deal of in the wider context in my view. Trump is unfit for the office because of who he is/was on his best day, not because he had a brain freeze during a speech.

I always get asked for my ID when buying bread.

George Washington and the continental army stormed the airports too.

Donny's really digging himself into a hole

I've been saying that for donkeys years. Trump is so detached from reality that I think he genuinely doesn't understand what "telling the truth" actually means. He's convinced himself that he is the only source of information that's credible, and therefore, whatever he says should be taken as fact by everyone else. It goes back to the fact that the guy is 77 years old and at no stage in the first 70+ years of his life did anyone likely say "no Donald. You can't do that. That's not a good idea". You let a narcissist run wild and unchecked and this is what you get.
