Social media users mercilessly mocked President Donald Trump over the weekend after a Fox News interview in which he referred to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba as “Mr. Japan.”

    I mean…Biden does likely have dementia, and it is kind of scary that for a couple years there we had a president who may not have known where he was at times.

    That being said, we traded in the guy with a good heart and dementia, for a racist hateful asshole with dementia.

    And of the two, it’s FAR scarrier that the current dementia president has authorization for nukes.

    Biden was never going to nuke. Trump might. And forget the next day that he did.

      1. Reagan was much more obviously affected by dementia
      2. Even if Biden is suffering he’s far more coherent than what we have now

      Based on… What? Biden has cancer. The convenient narrative that he was diagnosed after he left the White House holds about as much water as no one ever having died at a Disney theme park.

      Cancer-fighting drugs do all sorts of whacky shit to bodies and minds. The conspiracy to keep the truth from the public was, I speculate, to avoid the inevitable pressure to have Biden step down and Harris assume the Presidency. Based on Biden’s comments I have little doubt this was a selfish decision based on hubris that was championed and enabled by the establishment et al. Not that Harris would’ve been the People’s President but at least she’d have been capable of actually leading.

      I don’t disagree with you. Neither Biden nor Trump were / are fit for the roles they assumed. The dementia angle was weak Republican propaganda though and repeating it just keeps us further from the truth the public deserves.

      Is this a repeat comment from 1989?

      Yeah the fact he was talking over Kristi noem of all people who even though she is rotted to the core knew for a moment you have to keep up appearances of actually playing nice just to expose just how absolutely racist he is and intending to hurt people says all you need to know of just how bent on evil he is dementia or not.

      Like how wretched does one have to be to make her look like the more reasonable person in the room?

      Nah, he’d hit up a mcdonalds, tweet about it while shitting, THEN claim he has no recollection of the event - which may be true, but that is really not a good thing.

      Don’t be afraid of Trump, or Putin for that matter, nuking anyone. They do not have a literal red-button. Launch authorization goes through a chain, and much like Soviet commanders refused to fire in the Cold War, so will our commanders.

        Yea… no, that’s total wishful thinking. If Trump winning didn’t convince you that a HUGE portion of the US are brainless morons wholly beholden to propaganda, then a nuke going off near Iran/Palestine will just be a whoopsie-daisey to such an unobservant fool.
