      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.

        Only non-witches get due process.

              (In President Trumps defense (or any other President or high level person), it is very very normal to have a "cheat sheet". I have prepared a lot of such things with bullet points of what may be discussed.)

                @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.)

                      Intersting. It's early, of course.

                        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.
