Finally someone in the media says it out loud!
It is irresponsible to obsess over President Biden’s tendency to mangle a couple of words in a speech while Donald Trump is out there sounding detached from reality. Biden, who is old, at least makes sense. Trump, who also is old, rants like someone you’d cross the street to avoid.
We in the media have failed by becoming inured to Trump’s verbal incontinence — not just the rapid-fire lies and revenge-seeking threats, but also the frightening glimpses into a mind that is, evidently, unwell.
…The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. … House Republicans would already have scheduled hearings on Biden’s mental condition and demanded he take a cognitive test.
The tendency with Trump, at 77, is to say he’s “just being Trump.” But he’s like this all the time.
…
My bold.
YES YES YES!
We’ve gotten used to it and the press keeps reporting it as if it were a normal news event for Grandpa to come to Thanksgiving dinner with his underpants on his head!
