Yes his “kankles” are deeply disconcerting. He’s nearly 80 — in a fundamentally decrepit body.
But for my money, it is the “Nearly-Biden“-like gaffes — in just the last few days.
His mind is… clearly disappearing. Late last week, he repeatedly told reporters he was “going to Russia“. And that he was soon going to “return to the USA“.
In fact, he was… in Anchorage. That’s an ALASKAN city. IN THE USA.
Yikes — here’s a more complete download — and a bit of it:
…He’s already forgotten his conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, who earlier this week were promised a ceasefire. And in the last fortnight, he’s started mixing up names, referring to his head of homeland security Kristi Noem, as Cristie Kerr, the name of an LPGA golfer. During a White House event with Tim “Apple” Cook, Trump thanked his commerce secretary Howard Lutnick “wherever you may be”.
“I’m right behind you,” said a startled Lutnick. Last month at a ceremonial signing of a veteran’s bill, Trump paused to acknowledge the bill’s sponsor, Congressman Derrick Van Orden, asking “Where’s Derrick? Where’s Derrick?”
“I’m here, sir,” said Van Orden, standing right next to him. Embarassing. The decline is as obvious as the white eye circles protected from his spray tan….
Damn. Where are those GOP/MAGA folks? The ones who were howling about Joe Biden, in the Spring of 2024?
No surprise.
Crickets.
Out.
