The Sad Cognitive Decline of a President

President ~~Biden~~ oops Trump said the following in a speech over the weekend

Speaking about President Biden

...in no condition to lead, and is now in charge of dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war. Just think of it. We would be in World War II very quickly."

"As you know, crooked Joe Biden and the radical left thugs have weaponized law enforcement to arrest their leading political opponent, and leading by a lot, including Obama — I'll tell you what,"

Trump also seemed to suggest that Obama had been his runner-up in the 2016 election, saying, "With Obama, we won an election that everyone said couldn't be won."

And the fun continues leading to the 2024 election.

Trump Confuses Name of Current President

C. None of the above.

It is ok that Mr. Biden is demented because Mr. Trump is demented.

That argument apparently makes sense to a lot of people.

Everyone misspeaks. Even the wunderkind from ~~Indonesia~~, ~~Hawaii~~, Illinois.

They’re both demented but in a manner peculiar to each and, very much of their own.

Yep. They're unique, just like everyone else.

Donald Trump is furiously attempting to sink a bipartisan border and immigration package that the Senate unveiled on Sunday — so much so that he’s outright lying about having endorsed the bill’s author, Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.).

During an interview on Monday with right-wing radio host Dan Bongino, the former president claimed that he had never endorsed Lankford, one of the chief architects and advocates for the legislation. “Just to correct the record, I did not endorse Senator Lankford, I didn’t do it,” Trump said. “He ran and I didn’t endorse him.”

Oops - poor guy. His memory and sharpness are just not there. Sad.

Shall we discuss Biden's recent meeting with the Prime Minister of Germany, Francois Mitterand?

I remain unconvinced that the response to 'One of our Presidential candidates is senile' being 'Yeah? Well so is the other one!' actually makes anything better.

Oops. Doesn't work that way. Maybe President Trump needs a lesson in how government works or maybe he is just confused.

Rep. Chip Roy (R) from Texas

"I saw former President Trump make that allegation earlier today on one of his social media posts. 'All the president has to do is declare the borders closed and it's closed.' Well, with all due respect, that didn't happen in 2017, 18, 19, and 20. There were millions of people who came into the United States during those four years."

Rep. Crenshaw (R) from Texas

"Why didn't Trump just shut down the border if you just think we don't need any changes to law?" Crenshaw asked.

Uh, Biden killed Trump's EO'S, walked away from any border wall, tried to put border agents in jail for simply riding a horse, and the list goes on.

Not to mention I remember the fight Trump had to implement any strengthening of the border.

To be brutally honest, if the Biden Administration would just enforce much of the border law on the books, the border could close tomorrow.

If you want your preferred party to run on the positive border record, that's a political fight the GOP would absolutely relish...

@Jolly You misinterpret my post. It was not about whether or not the border policy under President Trump/Biden was correct or incorrect. It was simply about President Trumps confusion on the ability of the President to act on his own to shut down the border.

Maybe he can do so, but there are at least two Republic congressmen who do not think so. Maybe they are wrong.

But as Jolly posted, Trump’s EOs had MOSTLY shut the border down.

The counter is that he did have trouble getting his desired bills through Congress, but that really is a separate issue. Trump essentially did shut the border without Congressional approval.
