Trump's Mental Competency Is Rapidly Getting Worse

Donald Trump can't seem to remember what city he's in, what politicians he's run against, who was president at certain points in history, and those are just incidents that have happened in the past two weeks. The former President's brain appears to be rapidly declining, and at the same time he's trying to convince the public that he's the only candidate that is mentally competent enough to hold the job. But the media - and his political opponents - are starting to pay attention, and that could be devastating to his reelection chances, as Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump loves to paint himself as the only mentally competent person running for president right now. Certainly more mentally competent than President Biden. Donald Trump said, everybody should have to take that person, man, woman, camera TV test that he took, and he'll put his results up against anybody else because his mind, he says, sharpened everyone out there. Now, I've been talking about this a lot recently, but the reason I wanna talk about it again right here is because CNN talked about it. Now, CNN doesn't quite have the viewership that they used to have, obviously, but CNN is still one of the big three cable news outlets. And CNN has now had to start talking about Donald Trump's mental decline. And the CNN article, by the way, also mentions a recent segment that M-S-N-B-C did about Donald Donald Trump's ongoing mental problems. And those problems are plenty, and those problems are becoming more and more frequent, which indicates that perhaps Donald Trump's mental competency is eroding much faster than any of us thought.

Now, I've already talked about a lot of these instances, and they include, include in no particular order, getting distracted by a fly, suddenly realizing that US and United States both have the same letters. UNS, that's weird, but not as weird as when he said that he beat Barack Obama in 2016 when Barack Obama wasn't running for office. Not as weird as when he said that Jeb Bush is the one who got us into the war in the Middle East in 2001, when Jeb was the governor of Florida. He meant George W. Bush. He said that Victor Orban was the prime minister of, uh, what was it? He said he was the prime Minister of Hungary, but he's actually the prime Minister of Turkey, obviously. He also said that President Biden might get us into World War ii. Yikes, world War ii. Well, we, nobody wants that again, trust me.

But we also already had it. So unless President Biden has somehow made a time machine that he's not telling us about, then I, I don't think he's gonna put us back in World War ii, um, that that would be quite a thing. But pretty sure Biden doesn't have a time machine. I'm like 99% sure President Biden doesn't have a time machine. I can't say for certain, just call it a hunch, if you will. But in all seriousness, these gaffes, and there's, there's many, many more. I mean, these incidents I'm talking about, this is all from the last month. But the media is starting to pay attention. CNN and M-S-N-B-C, his Republican opponents are starting to pay attention. Nikki Haley called him out for it recently. Ron DeSantis has gotten to the

Point where he actually has a, uh, uh, the, the Trump accident tracker. So they're just compiling all these video clips of Donald Trump saying stupid stuff. You know, like not remembering things, misremembering things, not knowing what year, who was where, not even knowing what city he's in, which of course happened this past week when he was in Sioux City, not Sioux Falls. Um, so yeah, everybody has taken notice. The Biden administration is starting to highlight these gaff from Donald Trump, not the Biden administration, sorry, the Biden campaign, the administration has to stay out of it. The campaign is the one that's doing it. The point is, everybody notices. Everybody notices. Donald Trump's very obvious mental decline at this point. Now, the problem is, according to Republican strategists, nobody seems to care, right? I mean, Donald Trump obviously slipping a little bit, but physically wise, even though he's not a healthy looking dude, he's still spry.

You gotta give him that, right? But more importantly, it doesn't matter how many gaffes Donald Trump has, it doesn't matter how many time he times he flubs the city that he's in or gets distracted by flying insects, his supporters don't care, right?
