I heard the convicted liar and child rapist Maxwell say he was the best and never did anything wrong.
I guess checks notes that means nothing ever happened and it was all a democrat hoax after all.
She said he wasn't involved in Epstein's crimes.
Epstein was a child trafficker. Trump is a child rapist. Two completely different crimes.
"Senior moment"
This should be sufficient proof to anyone with half a brain cell that the media is handling him with the softest of kid gloves.
If this were Biden, Jake Tapper would already be submitting his next batch of manuscripts.
mumbles a word
hAs BiDeN gOnE inSaNe!!!!?!!1!
Which is weird because the Daily Beast usually goes way overboard with the clickbait headlines...almost every time Trump tweets a response to criticism he's "melting down" or he's "raging" or it's a "deranged rant".
almost every time Trump tweets a response to criticism he’s “melting down” or he’s “raging” or it’s a “deranged rant”
Sounds pretty accurate.
How long before his "senior moment" involves demanding that they bring Slobodan Milošević or Yasser Arafat to the White House, or ordering the 101st Airborne into the Spanish Sahara, or sending a nuclear strike on Leningrad to retaliate against the Soviets for the invasion of Czechoslovakia?
He’ll never do any of those things. You think he’s ever studied history… or anything?
Absolutely not. But he was alive for a lot of those folks' time on the world stage; the names probably managed to filter their way into even his depleted-uranium skull.
President Donald Trump, 79, confounded his audience during an executive order signing Monday in the Oval Office, rambling about an imaginary governor named “Kristi Whitman.”
“You know, I did a favor for Kristi Whitman,” Trump said, seated behind the Resolute Desk.
“Whitmer,” he added moments later, in what seemed like a fleeting moment of self-correction—though he still appeared to be referring to a nonexistent “Kristi Whitmer.”
The president was likely trying to name Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, especially as he soon invoked the Great Lakes.
“A good favor, I think. With the fish, the carp, the China carp—you ever hear of it?” he asked, addressing the silent room. He continued: “China carp, and it’s taking over your Great Lakes.”

It’s also possible Trump was confusing Gretchen Whitmer with Christine Todd Whitman, the former New Jersey governor and EPA administrator who goes by “Christie.”
Or He may have mixed Whitmer up with his Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem—a name he has publicly fumbled before.
Earlier this month, while introducing members of his Cabinet, Trump misidentified Noem onstage as “Secretary of Homeland Security Cristie Kerr” while Noem stood just feet away.

Another contender in the “Kristi” confusion: former New Jersey governor and 2024 presidential candidate Chris Christie—whom Trump later referenced in his Monday remarks.
“Look, Chris is a slob. Everybody knows it,” Trump said. “I always thought he got away with murder.”
During his rant, Trump also appeared to conjure up a speech he made over the weekend, despite having made no speeches.
“Over the weekend, I’m making a speech,” he said.
“Some of these people were from foreign countries.”
Jesus Fuck. It's not a "senior moment" - the guy with the nuclear codes has severe dementia. RepubliQans need to start fighting for power now.
Christi Whitman hasn't been the governor of NJ in over 20 years
His dementia is too big to hide. Now it's a matter of gaslighting everyone so they can have a President-at-Bernies administration. A brain-dead body who can still sign whatever they put in front of him.
But she also headed the EPA (declaring the 9/11 air 'safe') and endorsed Kamala in the last election, so the big cheeto has to hate her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Todd_Whitman#Post_9/11_air_quality_claims_controversy

Edit: Idk how I replied to you my b
Trump 79 dies…
🤞🤞🤞
I'm prayin to ALL the gods
Any Big Mac now
Unfortunately, I don't think Vance will be any better
He's America's Gorbachev.
If Biden did this they'd flay him alive. Trump can have literal shit for his brain and everyone is like "oh poor baby having a moment" shut the fuck up. He can't even think and everyone is just serving this asshole making meals of us for the rich.
Did you forget Biden‘s admin, or the debate with Trump? The media did exactly the same thing for him, treating him with kid gloves, deny, excuse, or gaslight every sign of dementia. This country is being run by the 1%. Whatever pile of bones is propped up as puppet leader will receive the same treatment from the billionaire owned media companies as long as the 1% have control. Political party is irrelevant.
No, we heard how he drooled on the floor and shit his pants for months all while Trump was just as old and mentally deranged and saying nonsensical shit. Its not equivalent. They wanted their brain stew in the big chair so he'd haphazardly fuck all worker protections. Thats what the bills wanted and they got it.
Can we stop with the “Trump, 79, does or says something while totally still alive” headline format? These articles start out with a nasty bait-and-switch…
4 Years later...Orange turd has turned 84 and cannot communicate via language. His communication is via farts. SBD for yes, loud pop for no. Many other symbolic fattiness has developed a full language based on flatulence.
State of the Union 2028:
"Pprrrrrrrrrrrrfffffffffftttssshhhhhhhhrrrrrrpppp!"
MAGA: "What a great speech!"
And then the whole article is trying to complete a Rorschach test from a mound of dementia-addled word puke. Happens too often now.
Reminder that cognitive decline starts at 40. By 70, your mind is mere shadow of what it once was. Yes, even Bernie is a shadow of the man he was when he was 40.
I worked with a guy when he was maybe 65 ish. I was very knowledgeable in his field of work. When he turned 72, it was a completely different story. I would only ask his for something when i was really desperate, and it hardly ever lead anywhere. Now he is 80 and he sometimes calls me out of boredom. When he wants to talk about work it's like talking to a lawnmower. Maily noise and nonsense.
I'm WAY smarter in my 60s than I was in my 40s.
Im not sure. I feel much like my physical ability im much more measured when doing things both physically and mentally because I can't just muscle things through.
But Biden was too old to be president
Dementia say the word
Leader of America you all...
Smartest american alive
I wonder echo is really running the country.... No wait I dont, its Putin.
