- At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
- Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
- If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris’ age could be an advantage against Trump.
At least his sentences are coherent /s
It’s fucking wild that conservatives listen to Trump and hear an intelligent and coherent person.
He said this in 2016:
He was still elected.
I love these transcripts, they always sound like a conversation some rambling old man is having with his hospice nurse.
Ok Mr. Trump, very good. Now take your medications.
I wish to point out that he was in his early 70s at the time, generally a bit early for that level of impairment.
Well, assuming the impairment is age-related and not just, you know, built in
True, although if you watch him over the years, especially between 2016 and now, there’s been a huge amount of noticeable cognitive decline.
He forgot his own wife’s name. He called her Mercedes.
Yeah it’s true that while he was never exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, he does seem to have gotten a lot worse fairly quickly. Might be COVID, it’s been linked to cognitive decline and I’ve definitely seen that in my own parents who are no spring chicken
This article is seven years old now, but it sticks in my memory all the same: French translator Bérengère Viennot on the difficulties of trying to represent Trump’s manner of speech in another language
“Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”
I expect that they are hearing but not listening
I doubt most of them listen to him at all. They listen to Fox or Newsmax or whatever social media, who only cherrypick the fragments that sound vaguely coherent, and conversely only played the pieces of Biden’s speeches that were incoherent. They either don’t realize or don’t care that they’re not looking at the whole picture.
Honestly I think it’s just that they don’t care: Trump is the Führer and everything he does is perfect
No, it’s that they hear someone they understand. “He says it like it is,” is white people speak for “his words aren’t confusing me.” Bc really all Don ever does is tell a story like a trailer park kid. It speaks to their biases and emotions and that’s all they care about
Gettysburg… wow
Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was, the battle at Gettysburg, what an unbelievable. I mean, has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
I felt a blood vessel pop in my brain just trying to read that.
