Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

Joe Biden Is Facing Questions About His Age And Mental Acuity. What About Donald Trump?

The president is only three years older than Trump, who routinely goes off on bizarre tangents, mixes up important people and blatantly lies.

WASHINGTON ― He’s too old. He rambles and makes no sense. There are legitimate concerns about his mental and physical fitness to be president.

But Donald Trump, 78, didn’t raise much concern among Republicans this week when, during a campaign rally, he incoherently wandered through his remarks, went off on a bizarre tangent about a “beautiful waitress” and attacked a former political adversary as a “fat pig.”

“Did you ever hear of Hannibal Lecter?” Trump said at one point, comparing the fictitious cannibal to people who are allegedly coming to the United States from psychiatric wards.

The alarming display by the GOP presidential hopeful certainly raises questions about his ability to potentially lead the country should he win the election in November. He’s already raising serious concerns over his stated plans as president for another four years.

for the attempt against trump.

It is the same crap they did when a disgruntled CBS employee Bernard Goldberg wrote a book accusing the media of having a "liberal bias", which the media answered by playing the "both sides game", allowing blatant lies to go unchallenged thinking that will demonstrate objectivity, and stop the reference "liberal media"

The only thing that accomplished is they are still referred to as "liberal media" even though 90% of talk radio fills the airwaves with right wing hate and dribble.
