No, he is NOT the same as in 2016, not even the same he was in 2020. But, his age and the witnessing of his mental errors, is hurting him. I don't expect you to admit it. Even his walk is indicative of a problem. Trump will sometimes swing his right leg in a semi-circle as if it was dragging a dead weight. Nikki Haley noted earlier in the spring that the first of the two 80-year olds (or near 80 year-olds) to drop out, the other would win. You can come up with all the excuses in the world about the current polls. But, I'm telling you, his age is an anchor on him, whether you like it or not. I've got to go. So, feel free to have the last word on it. But I stand by everything I wrote, regardless.

You both can be right in this, in a way.

Trump's age is definitely being used against him. It's debatable how deserved it is though.

It is not lost on me that comments about Trump's age started the minute Biden dropped out. And they have been coordinated across many outlets. People who were willing to forgive outright senility are suddenly very concerned about any slight hint of weakness from Trump. (Such is politics)

It's a smart tactic though, whether it's true or not.

Why would I agree with blatant propaganda and mischaracterization? No, what is hurting him now is the same things that have hurt him the past 9 years, and it isn't his age. Just as Biden's age wasn't an anchor on him during the 2020 primaries. Trump's age is now just a convenient excuse and political tool used by leftist hypocrites. And I'm not making excuses about the polls. I'm giving reasons. There is a difference. If someone is voting based on race and/or sex, it is likely for Coupmala and St. Paul Stalin.

There are, of course, measurable tests to gauge someone's mental acuity/decline. It is also very much a see/hear thing. When you see Trump on a stage for over an hour, in command of what he is saying, whether you believe him or not, picking people out of the crowd by name, just going on and on without a lapse in perspicacity, you can tell he is still "all there." I'm not saying he doesn't make verbal errors, as we all do, but he is not the doddering, shadow of a man that we see in Joetato. He's the same as he was in 2016. Casting him in an even remotely same light as Biden is a shameful deploracrat ploy to confuse and influence misinformed rubes.

I had a couple of car accidents since May (which I won't go into detail about except to say it was carelessness and overconfidence on my part), resulting in the wife's threat. 🙁

Ouch. My dad is going through the exact thing.

Don't know if it helps much, but it's not easy on the son in that situation either.

It's a given that it's not easy on the dad.

Maybe in 20 years we'll have a good self driving car for when I get there. :)

I gave examples of his cognitive decline. I could have given others like he could not remember where his father was born. He said his Bronx, New York born- father was born in Germany. He has forgotten what state he is in. Biden's cognitive decline obscured Trump's. There is a reason why Trump keeps pining for Biden to be his opponent.

Agree. It's an issue. I just think it's a losing issue for both sides. It is really ironic to see the people who pushed Biden forward to suddenly care about age. It just smacks of irony.

I don't blame them, I would too in their shoes. But I couldn't feel good about it knowing that Harris's Achilles heel is speaking off script. Isn't she now asking for notes during the debate? (I looked, it seems to be a he said she said)
Biden's age is why I did not want him to run again. I would have voted against him in the South Carolina primary if there was a chance that a poor showing by him would have forced him out. But, looking at the polls, I saw he would win big against his primary opponent.

I don't know the details of the debate. All I can say about the debate between Trump and Harris is that I'm looking forward to it. 😉

As much as I don't want to argue with you, I don't think one side should really be using speaking mistakes to attack the other.

Harris has singlehandedly revived the word "word salad". Her laugh to buy time to think, he rambling comments about tomorrow's yesterday?

I will simply say that there is a reason she is not doing press conferences. And there is a reason I suspect she drops out of the debate. Her literal weakness is when she talks.

So, we can talk about how bad Trump seems in that respect, but I think it only opens the door to point to the same in Harris.

Which just makes fall back to "these are the two we voted for"?

I understand. But Trump's age is, like Biden's, fair game. Many people made an issue of Biden's age. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Do I like age being made an issue? NO..NO..NO. When your wife half-jokingly threatens to one day take away your car key, trust me, I don't.

Sorry my friend but Biden gave the order to cut and run. There is absolutely no way Trump had anything to do with the failed execution of a bug-out order. Trump had left an orderly plan to close down Bagram AB that would have brought our personnel and equipment home in an established plan that all military officers are taught. As a retired Field grade officer myself I know there is no logistical protocol for what Biden/ Harris did.

It always amazes me how someone can just stick their head in the sand and make something up.

Let me get this straight. In your alternate universe, Trump developed a plan and Biden just ordered his military chain of command to ignore it?
