  2. It’s always been a story hence why Trump and his team deflected to Biden.

    Problem isn’t Trumps mental decline it’s the stupidity and incompetence of democrats for not making use of the situation to its fullest (because the leadership is just as old) **and** anointing a guy that’s was further gone.

  3. And, as is media tradition, not for the correct reasons.

    They’re only picking up on it now because of his weird dance party incident. They’ve ignored numerous current (and thousands of previous) examples of his slurring, verbal aphasia, scrambled memories, sundowning and all the rest.

    One of his White House employees admitted this week that they would blast music to “reset” him when he would spiral in the Oval Office. If you’ve worked old age care homes you’d recognize that technique.

    But the direct evidence of his cognitive condition have been glaringly obvious to many of us for years, and it’s just accelerating. Even his cultist doctors knew, since they had him doing Montreal Cognitive Assessment screenings.

  4. If Kamala crushes the Fox interview, the man’s grasp on reality might fully shatter 

  5. Is it though? It’s nowhere near as big as it should have been.

    It was the only story with Biden. I am not seeing remotely close to that.

  6. Not really. Only in left leading media is it being said. Not right wing media which is arguably more important to make this statement in.

    It’s about time the media started focusing more on Trump’s mental state, honestly. It’s a big issue that shouldn’t be ignored, but we’ll see if they keep it up or just move on again.

    This “article” is one(1) paragraph.

    > Is the media finally figuring out how to cover Donald Trump’s profound mental unfitness for the presidency? First, CNN’s Jake Tapper dressed down a Trump surrogate for whitewashing his threat to unleash the military on his enemies. Then Trump held a strange town hall at which he abruptly stopped answering questions, which generated aggressive media coverage. And Kamala Harris has directly engaged on Trump’s mental state in a new way, drawing media attention to it. We talked to Brian Beutler, who often criticizes the media on his Off Message Substack, about the increasing signs that the press is treating Trump’s mental decline as a big story. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.

    That’s a lot of words saying very little too. It doesn’t do the headline justice, which is a shame. Walk me through what’s different in the media. Don’t tease me like this.

  9. The media will never acknowledge the millions of Trump followers for the mental health pandemic that they are. After all, if not for them, who would watch shows like The Masked Singer and The Bachelorette?

  10. If this man was my father I would be getting him the help he desperately needs. This is feeling like elder abuse.

    Can we talk about the disaster that a Vance presidency would be?

  11. Won’t change anyone’s mind. Trump could shit into his own mouth and his supporters would fucking love it and start doing it themselves.

  12. He’s playing sick right before the election so when/if he loses his lawyers can claim he’s to sick to stand trial.

  13. Well, our great media was so hung up on “there are no specifics from Harris yet” trope. They just needed to see Trump’s DJ skills to finally label him old.
