Remember when Joe Biden as having dementia after he told a story about a confrontation with a gang member named Cornpop only to have eye witnesses confirm the veracity of the story? What would MAGATS have been saying if Biden had told the same story that Trump told? Why has Congress not already launched an investigation into whether or not Trump is mentally fit to hold office? What if Trump's next false memory results in him believe that China has launched a nuclear attack on the US and he decides to retaliate?

... he claimed to have discussed Ted The Unabomber Kaczynski with his Uncle, esteemed MIT professor, John Trump. During Trump's story he claimed that the Unabomber was one of his Uncle's students and that they discussed the type of student that he was. This story was quickly called into dispute since Kaczynski never attend MIT and was not identified as the Unabomber until 1996, eleven years after the death of John Trump. ...

Mental degradation is not a pleasant thing to watch.

The nation is in a scary place, with Dementia Don recklessly and randomly doing damage in all areas.

Uh, I am the same age as Trump, within a few days, and while I know there are old folks like us with still powerful minds...aging takes a toll, if nothing else it diminishes our energy reserves..we cannot engage for hours at a time, as a President must, and stay focused as we could when we were much younger.
We need, as the Vatican has, age limits on certain Executive jobs like President.

Hey! How exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does a sun set? How exactly does a posi-trac rear-end on a Plymouth work? It just does.

Trump's "Uncle" stories are beauts, right up there with his ridiculous "Sir!" yarns.

So his uncle, possessing three degrees that did not exist, talked to an MIT student who never went to MIT who was the Unabimber (but was only recognized as such well after the uncle's death). Right?

It's a pity nobody cares enough about Trump to intervene. He's really a helluva mess.

Another Trump story that MAGATS just ignore because they can't deflect and have no explanation or justification for his behavior

It was a "weave". English professors thought it was brilliant. He does the bestest, most beautiful weaves.
