With the ongoing hysteria over Biden’s age, it’s long past time to look more closely at Trump’s mental gyrations which are much more indicative of a disordered mind which, along with his massive psychological defects, is getting worse every day. Here are some examples from this weekend alone.
Watch this whole thing to see him try in vain to pretend he didn’t stumble and becomes even more incoherent. It’s pathetic.

You know people have told him that isn’t true and the press has certainly covered this as a gaffe. It’s not the only way to express this concept. He could say that you have to show ID to get on an airplane, for instance. But he persists in saying that you have to show ID to buy food which is simply ridiculous. Why? It’s not normal to keep repeating a lie but to keep repeating lies that are totally unnecessary is a little bit crazy. I think he just doesn’t remember that it isn’t true.
How about this?
Trump says Joe Biden is “cognitively impaired” and then accuses him of getting us into World War TWO.

No, he really did. 🤭 pic.twitter.com/03KKUm24XT
It was a slip, of course. Anyone can make one. But if it were Joe Biden they’d say he didn’t know what year it was.
My point is that Trump should be much more careful about going after Biden for his verbal stumbles. People think Trump is just a liar, which of course he is, the greatest the world has ever known. But he’s also full of delusions and strange verbal tics that are not normal cognitive functions. He has had them for a long time but we’ve excused it because some of it is just because he’s very ignorant and some of it is because he’s a sloppy thinker. But going after Joe Biden for cognitive impairment opens him up to much more scrutiny and the press should be much more aggressive in pressing him on it.
Someone needs to ask him if he really thinks that you need ID to buy a loaf of bread. And I’d love to hear someone confront him on the WWII comment. He’ll have to either deny it, when it on tape for everyone to see or he’ll have to admit he misspoke which he seem incapable of doing. Yes, it’s a gotcha question but that’s what they’re doing with Biden and it’s only fair that this 77 year old man falls under exactly the same scrutiny. You can be sure that if he didn’t trowel on the bronze make-up and dye his hair people would be much less impressed with his alleged “vitality.” Close your eyes and he sounds like an old man at the end of the bar ranting with his buddies about kids these days.
This Kristen Welker interview tomorrow on Meet the Press looks to be the exact opposite of that as far as we can tell so far. More on that tomorrow.
