She just did a segment about trump's age, citing recent polls that show the public think he is becoming more erratic with age. (Of course, both my hubby and I erupted with "becoming?" when that came on the screen). Anyway, she covered his made-up story about a sharpie that he rambled about at a recent cabinet meeting, lies about everything from a former president praising his Iran policy, untruths about Wes Moore praising him, and the "friend" who saw illegal voting among others.
Pretty good segment, although it was too short.

(18,609 posts)Trump was always a true psychopath and a complete degenerate, probably the worst human being on the planet, but now he's also incoherent, demented and out of touch with reality. Unfortunately for everyone, he's also the president.

(8,015 posts)The OP points out the word "becoming" but that's what the poll said, not what Katy said.

(10,922 posts)He would have done a lot of the same shit hes doing now in his first term if he thought he could get away with it. But the Supreme Court and his cabinet of clowns and Republican Congress have paved the way for the perfect storm to act on his evil impulses this time.

(24,973 posts)except for the fact that he now has no one around him to even mildly suggest he tone it down. Now they clap like trained seals when he goes off the rails.

(8,843 posts)his cabinet of corrupt grifting sycophants and the MAGA congress know Trump's mind is toxic sludge but they are terrified of relinquishing power, terrified of accountability..so terrified they turn a blind eye toTrump's sadistic urges because to say no is to invite Trump's retribution..

(24,973 posts)ask about trump's mental acuity? Just puts a spotlight on the double standard the press enforces for Dems. Biden's acuity was constantly being questioned by them for almost no reason, at least when you compare his actions to trump's. Of course, more journalists should be asking about it, and I hope this is the beginning of the change.
