    It’s not one mistake. It’s four years of obvious decline being put on stage where people have a harder time covering it up.

    I don’t know if anybody wants you to worry to indecision, but it sure would’ve been nice if this had been acknowledged when it might’ve been repairable.

    You’re not going to get any accountability my friend.

      He’s an old man. Congrats on figuring that out.

      As I can attest, older people in general are a little bumbly but that’s not a predictor of mental acuity or ability. It’s certainly not an indicator of dementia on it’s own.

      I’ve watched many of his speeches, press conferences, etc. and I see little to no evidence of cognitive decline. What I do see is people buying into that narrative because, like all good propaganda, it taps right into their preexisting biases.
