Trump Insists He’s Not Cognitively Impaired in Incomprehensible Rant

At a campaign rally in Arizona Sunday, Donald Trump denied reports that he is showing signs of cognitive decline, attacking critics for singling out his mispronunciations.

“They watch for weeks and weeks. For weeks and weeks, I’m up here ranting and raving. Last night, a hundred thousand people. Flawless. Ranting and raving. I’m ranting and raving. Not a mistake. And then, I’ll be at a little thing and I’ll say something a little bit like ‘The.’ I’ll say ‘duh.’ They’ll say he’s cognitively impaired,” Trump said.

“No, I’ll let you know when I will be. I will be someday, we all will be someday, but I’ll be the first to let you know,” Trump added.

Trump has in fact continued to sound more erratic and bizarre as the presidential race enters its final weeks. At a Wisconsin rally just over a week ago, he compared himself to a fly, struggled to pronounce words like “Midwestern” and “evangelicals,” and spread misinformation about Hurricane Helene. In a New York rally in September, he stumbled over words like “migrants” and “Russia” and had trouble stringing sentences together.

His cognitive decline was evident to everyone watching the first (and almost certainly last) presidential debate with Kamala Harris, where Trump went on long-winded rants unrelated to the questions asked.

Trump's dementia is getting worse by the day and everyone can see it.

You post the same thing, over and over, despite no evidence to back it up. I get it-- for years many were calling out Joe Biden as someone suffering from Alzheimer's while everyone around him, and the mainstream media, denied what was obvious. When they could deny it no longer, they had to pull him from the race. You seem determined to play "I know you are but what am I" and try to throw the same charge back at Trump, but he clearly has control of all his faculties.

You may dislike him, and you may dislike the way he speaks, but you're doing yourself a disservice by constantly stating something that clearly isn't true. Perhaps focus on what it is about his politics, or even his demeanor that you dislike, rather than pretending he has dementia and hoping everyone will join along in your game of make-believe.

For 3.5 years: "Joe is sharp as a tack"

It was so painfully obvious during the campaign leading up to the 2020 election that he was significantly impaired, and yet no one in the media or the government would call him out on it. More than anything else, I think that is what caused the lack of trust in the establishment that we have today. We always knew that the media had a left-leaning slant, but we at least trusted them to be honest, if biased. Now it's clear to (nearly) everyone that they are far from honest, and that's only going to lead to greater division and confusion.

Aside from the bias, the deceptiveness and dishonesty was always there, but it’s becoming more obvious due to more people waking up to the truth.

Maybe it was, but it feels like there was a distinct shift.

The recent 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris is an example of this. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think 60 Minutes, or any news source of that caliber, has ever edited an interview that way. In the past they may have cleaned up a line or two, or maybe edited out a statement, but they removed her nonsensical answer, and cut and pasted in an entirely different statement from a different portion of the interview to make it seem like she gave a coherent answer. That seems like a whole new level of deceit that I never saw once before 2016, but has now become the norm.

Yup, It’s a type of deceptiveness that one would only expect from a banana republic or a commie regime.
