          We focus so much on Biden’s age but remember Trump turns 77 in June, is morbidly obese, eats junk, and doesn’t exercise.

            Trump’s hour-long rants are rather unhinged but everyone’s used to grading him on a curve. There’s no expectation that he will be coherent and consistent from one day to the next.

                    @taiwan_girl I may be wrong, but if I had to guess, those photos of "cheat sheets" that are (supposedly) in Trump's hands look like they were written by the sharpie-loving Trump himself, rather than a White House aide.

                    Here's some samples:

                      @George-K I agree. But I also think that his secretary or aide worked with him on what to write.

                      And as I said above, I would be more concerned if a president went into a meeting/conference/whatever, without some sort of preparation, like a cheat sheet. When I have done them, we would anticipate questions/comments and have bullet point responses.

                      For example:

                      Meeting with Economic Officials in Thailand

                      Point: Taiwan increasing chip making in Thailand

                      Pros:
                      increased cooperation
                      economic benefit (add data)
                      previous chip manufacturing
                      skilled workforce
                      etc,

                      Con:
                      Utility concerns availability (electric, water)
                      Local opposition to land reclaim
                      skilled workforce
                      etc.

                      (I realize that the original was kind of a different thing with President Biden.)

                            Way too early.

                            I'm not convinced Biden will run. I think if his poll numbers are bad going into the fall, he'll have a sudden "health problem" that will preclude him from seeking reelection and the dems will have to come up with an emergency candidate...And it ain't gonna be Headboard Harris.

                              I agree with this. I think it is harder and harder for an "unknown" to get the nomination, but who knows. Maybe someone from the Democrat side would emerge.
