During the 2020 presidential campaign, Donald Trump routinely, repeatedly denigraded Joe Biden, claiming that Biden, 3 years his senior, was in cognitive decline. Trump was trying the Don Rickles approach of insulting his opponent at every turn, because his low information base would at least get the gist of it.
Two years later, Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, gave an interview to CNN in which he believes Trump himself is suffering from-----wait for it----cognitive decline. How else to explain his increasingly unhinged statements of late? Regular readers of this blog know I've speculated on this for some time now, and it's good to know that it's finally catching on with Trump's former aides and the media.
Farron Cousins breaks it down:
The Joe Biden roasting is often over the top which the Maganets love to read. Magas are a depressing group. I know many who are fine people but it is a cult.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Karma. I don't think Trump ever had the mental capabilities to be President. He only had the ego and the nerve to be so horrible. Separating children from their parents on the border is unforgiveable in my opinion.
Have I ever written here about the Trump Family, and the effect that growing up there had on Donald?
ReplyDeleteIf I've done that already, I apologize; but you really ought to know the whole story.
Fred Trump Senior is the source of all of this.
Old Fred had that European Dynasyic plan: the Son/Namesake/Heir was supposed to take over the Empire and bring it to fabulous heights.
That didn't happen: Fred Junior, the Heir, decided that he didn't want that, opting instead for flying, drinking, and girl-chasing.
So Fred Senior had to settle for Donald, the Spare.
Fred Senior just handed everything over to the Spare, who in his turn thought that all he had to do was show up and get his picture taken; actually learning how to do things - that was for losers.
Just surround yourself with anybody who'd tell you how great you are, and let them do the Grunt Work - and there you are!
Don't bother the two older sisters (they're only Girls, after all), and don't even consider the Kid Brother.
Donald Trump has spent his entire life being handed things - money, power, ladies - with the assumption that Just Being TRUMP was sufficient entitlement for it all.
The reason for his failure as President: he never bothered to learn the job.
About Government, about the world, about law or diplomacy or annything else.
And he's never learned anything about People and how to deal with them.
Here's Donald Trump in two words: INVINCIBLE IGNORANCE.
Mike, you've shared the Trump family history previously.
ReplyDeleteJab, I'm an independent myself. Had never heard of "voluntaryist" until today.
Ann, Trump tired selling America on the idea that Biden was unfit for office. Classic deflection of what was happening to himself.
