Just a reminder of the double standard that is being evidenced. Joe Biden had a raspy voice during the debate and we heard about it for weeks (yes, he also stuttered and lost his train of thought - but Trump cannot even get one coherent sentence said). He was rumored to have Parkinson’s, and the press yelled about it at a WH press briefing. And remember this? They speculated that Clinton had Parkinson’s or a brain tumor.

Yeah, it's completely bonkers that everybody is talking about that and I haven't seen one media report on it.
I've never understood the drive by most media to have this extreme deference to Trump that they continuously exhibit.

It’s way past time to talk seriously about Trump Derangement Syndrome — his, not his critics’.
For years it’s been clear to mental health experts as well as the armchair variety, to Republicans as well as Democrats, that Donald Trump is not well in the head. Yet his behavior — the pathological lying, childish name-calling, grandiosity and narcissistic obsession with crowd sizes, open bigotry, erraticism, desire to be liked (loved!) by murderous dictators — long ago became normalized.
Trump’s fire hose of cray-cray has inured Americans to his outrages. He unabashedly owns the offenses, then repeats them. And enough of our fellow citizens like that about him, and dislike his opponents, that they elected him president and may do so again.
“God help us,” in the words of retired Marine Gen. John F. Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff.
But now that President Biden, a normal and empathetic man, has been pushed out of the 2024 race over concerns about his age and mental acuity, Trump’s more manifest unfitness for office should be ignored no longer — by the media, former advisors and military leaders who remain silent and, yes, Republicans.
Trouble is, Americans can talk about Trump’s madness, but what’s to be done? Republican “leaders,” who privately concede the truth about their nominee, won’t push him out. They’ve enabled him this long, through repeated down-ballot losses, impeachments, incitements and indictments. And unlike Biden, Trump won't go voluntarily: He lost an election but was so determined to keep power that he provoked an insurrection.
Forget Republicans’ and Trump’s resistance: A serious discussion and debate about Trump’s state of mind wouldn’t be pointless. It might tip the scales for the few undecided voters in the half-dozen swing states who will decide the election. Do they really want him to control the nuclear codes?
Since 2015, when he descended the golden escalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy with the sort of megalomaniacal monologue to which we’ve become desensitized, mental health professionals have shied from publicly addressing Trump’s psyche, cowed by the half-century-old “Goldwater rule” of the American Psychiatric Assn. The rule holds that it is unethical to give a professional opinion about a public figure’s mental health without examining the person and receiving their permission.
During Trump’s presidency, however, several dozen professionals invoked a civic “duty to warn”; they wrote and later expanded a bestseller assessing Trump’s psychological maladies. (Among the purchasers of the first edition: Kelly, to better understand his White House boss.) Meanwhile, privately, other professionals aren’t shy on the topic: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in her just-released book that psychiatrists flocked to her at a memorial service for one of their colleagues to vent about Trump’s behavior..............

Opinion: Donald Trump's state of mind should be under debate
The former president's pathological lying, incoherence and memory problems should be front and center in the campaign for the White House.

Trump watches himself get shot ‘over and over’ and staff fear he has PTSD: report
The former president has viewed the seven-second clip, in which his right ear was grazed with a bullet, multiple times, according to a Republican source close to his campaign
www.independent.co.ukI think Trump is reliving the glory of the moment while avoiding crowds out of fear. Mentally unfit.

While this is an anonymous source, it makes sense. Almost dying is a traumatic thing. And if your mental state is already tenuous - in service to your pathology - it makes sense he would deal with it poorly unless he gets help.Trump watches himself get shot ‘over and over’ and staff fear he has PTSD: report

I'll just put this here
The Harris campaign’s email in response to Trump had the subject line, “Statement on Trump’s…Whatever That Was.”
“We aren’t sure what we just watched and neither is America,” it said
(also, this description of events lol)
Trump was flanked by tables filled with groceries, including cereal, coffee and condiments to illustrate his argument that the price of basic goods was too high for many Americans.
But Trump quickly veered into various other topics that included the border, how windmills kill birds, crime in big cities, the quality of electric trucks and his relationships with various foreign leaders, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
It was only after speaking for roughly 45 minutes that he finally turned around and noticed the groceries on the table behind him.
“Cheerios, I haven’t seen Cheerios in a long time,” Trump said.

“We had to turn away lots of people yesterday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, but Comrade Kamala Harris’ Social Media Operation showed empty seats, long before the Rally started, early in the afternoon when, in actuality, we had to turn away 11,500 people!” he wrote in part. “She’s a Crooked Radical Left Politician, and always will be!”
Ammar Moussa, Harris’ director of rapid response, replied on X with (real) photos showing the sparse turnout at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally.

Donald Trump, now the oldest candidate to run for president, is facing intense scrutiny over his age and mental sharpness — and his biographer thinks Trump is “hyper-aware” that he is cognitively slipping and trying to make up for it with “convoluted explanations,” according to a report.
President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race after a fumbled debate performance that had voters questioning his mental acuity. Now Trump is facing similar questions and is trying to provide explanations for his frequent mentions of Hannibal Lecter, garbled words, incomplete thoughts, conflating the names of prominent figures, and his penchant for rambling.
But the explanations caused one Trump biographer to believe the GOP nominee knows full well that he is losing his mental footing.
Timothy O’Brien, author of TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald, told The Guardian that he believes the former president, who once dubbed himself a “very stable genius,” fully understands that he is saying more ludicrous things than ever and is trying to make up for it.
“The reason he’s now offering these convoluted explanations of his speech patterns in his public appearances is because he’s hyper-aware that people have noted that he’s making even less sense than he used to,” O’Brien said. “What we’re seeing now is a reflection of someone who’s very troubled and very desperate.”………

He makes zero sense. He’s repeated his fantasy that children go to school one sex and come home having had gender surgery. He consistently repeats that it’s legal to kill infants in 10 states. And he has said more than once recently that voting has already started in various areas.
Wt bleep is he talking about? What reports?The hetero sectional male says that immigrants are eating our puppiesBlames Harris.
