    As much as people like you claim it, there’s no actual evidence that Biden has dementia. And Trump is only three years younger than him if it’s just about age.

      Trump just doesn’t seem like he has dimentia because his memory and intelligence has always been horrible, though his speech patterns and word selection are what we’d use to convince anyone we cared about they should at minimum be in some kind of special care

      There’s no “proof” but you can see from his public speeches that he’s losing it. Trump at least shows mental clarity although he’s quite old as well.

          You can see in his eyes that he knows where he is, what he’s being asked, and is thinking up a bullshit answer. No signs of dementia whatsoever.

        Yeah, I hate to break this to ya, but if you’ve “seen” Biden’s public speeches from twenty years ago, you’d see he still had a speech impediment - one he’s had his entire life and spent a lot of work to control. As someone else who has trouble speaking in public, props to him for rising above it.

        And the sad part? People are literally mocking his speech impediment to make it seem like he has dementia when they know the truth - that’s like making fun of someone for being stuck in a wheelchair. But once again, it shows the class of the people we’re dealing with.

        But let me guess, mocking an orange clown for the makeup they choose to smear on daily would be considered “crossing the line” to you, right?

          It’s not a speech impediment, it’s him clearly forgetting the most basic things. Often he can’t even read from the teleprompter properly, gets lost in public venues, keeps tripping over. I feel sorry for him, it’s elder abuse what he’s going through.
          And I’ve got news for you, Biden is smearing the same orange paint on himself as Trump is, it’s what they do to look less gray and old.
