I call bullshit. PEDOnald has never been "mentally sharp".

Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!
-His professor at Wharton
His brain was always mush, even before he got up there in years.
He's one of those dumbasses that you always ask yourself: if he had dementia how would the layperson even be able to tell the difference between the crazy shit he did and said before and the crazy shit he does and says now?
I mean, it's still not clear to me whether he really thinks exercise is something that is bad for you. It's not clear to me if he really thinks stealth planes are invisible. It's not clear to me if he thinks people that seek asylum are somehow associated with insane asylums.
And so on.
What this poll shows is that most people can't see mental problems in a failed business man accused of rape BEFORE they vote for him to become POTUS
TBF, I would have taken Biden in a coma over this guy.
I suspect my reasons for that are far different than the people that actively ignore(d) Pedonald's mental acuity issues.
Mine are because I trust the Democrats would have executed the line of succession protocols in a far more sane and orderly way than the cons are likely to and any risk/damage to America would be minimal.
Conversely, I think those that support Pedonald no matter how scrambled his brain is is because they want to maximize the damage against America as much as possible, which of course they call "making America great again". If he goes off the rails on the crazy, that's a benefit to speedrunning the very worst things.
This is what he looked like on 9/11. Like, very obviously either just suffered a stroke or was actively having one on TV. It's insane that people weren't demanding the 25th amendment be invoked right then and there. The fact that this was not front page news for weeks shows how complicit the media is.
She's just sitting over there thinking of her life after he's dead.
Love to see it.
Additionally fuck her.
Hopefully when the rapist croaks we can deport her back to her country and claw back any wealth she thinks she's entitled to as it's ill-gotten and most likely stolen from the American working class.
Now I can see the resemblance.
God damn, those are some real life goblins
Demons in skin suits? Lizard people?
Is that a lighting thing or did the midwife get a little too carried away with the forceps? He's missing some jaw bone.
To me it looks like some weird mask, or bad makeup. Something Trump also shares in common.
The pessimist in me wonders if those 30% of Republicans simply don't know what erratic means.
Too many syllables.
I'm teaching my young children to read. It's not about too many syllables, You just won't find this in a picture book.
You've got to use words that would occur in a picture book.
"no, I don't think old people are hot! What kind of poll asks if the president is erotic? Damn Bill Clinton tainting the office!"
I can almost guarantee that a good chunk of them don’t know the difference between erratic and eccentric. “Yeah he can be a little strange sometimes, so what?”
Acuity means sharpness. Mental acuity declines with age.
Thank you.
I reread it like 3 times wondering who thinks Trump is getting smarter, and why we're worried about that.
His decline needs to speed up to like light speed.
Wait, we're all concerned that his mental acuity is increasing?
Its a funny way to read that headline.
It read like that to me as well 😅
I would be concerned if he became more productive and effective at implementing their agenda.
That would be concerning... Or at least, ya know, a nice change of pace.
Huh…we’ve known Trump was senile since before he was elected the first time. He’s just a talking point robot…arguably the best “politician” we’ve ever seen: Reagan 2.0.
If anyone recalls, Trump used the “I know what you are, but what am I?” strategy to switch the conversation to Biden’s cognitive ability from his own.
…I guess it REALLY worked, because a lot of folks have memory-holed themselves.
Can't wait for his inevitable slip live on TV. He's gonna do or say something so dramatically heinous or stupid that even his most fervent supporters won't be able to ignore it.
It's a matter of weeks now, his frontal lobe is almost completely gone.
I like your optimism. But I think this can go on for a looong time. I'm actually betting on it, because I tend to lose bets. A rare occasion where winning and losing both counts as a win.
He already has. He went on some rant once about Hunter Biden having computers in his bathroom. And some conspiracy nonsense.
Hunter. Computers. Bathroom.

Nah I'm talking about something truly heinous, like what happened on the Island or to Epstein. Something he would boast about unfiltered and how he got away with it.
We have an expression for that, it's called "Surely this . . . "
You're an optimist if you think that anything he could say would change things now. If he does something completely unforgivable, that's when they'll claim Alzheimer's and Vance takes the reins.
Skin sack with a filthy mouth. I would not be surprised if they've turned him into a cyborg now to keep him going
Sure. I’m worried about this Nazis fuck being competent. If he were, he’d be a hell of a lot more dangerous.
Oh. They meant the concern over his mental acuity is increasing… not, uh, his mental acuity… increasing.
Yeah. It’s kinda hard not to notice he’s dumber than a box ‘o rocks and far less useful.
There's no way anyone will do anything unless he dies.
Polls.
Polls were something people considered, what feels like 1000 years ago.
Decreasing*
Mental acuity decreasing, concerns increasing
