“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

That's because of his diminished cognitive capacity.

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 107 points 4 months ago

Voters are demanding that trump step down and let another candidate take his place. It's all over the Internet. I heard he can't even tie his shoes anymore.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 64 points 4 months ago

He has visibly struggled with operating a glass of water.

[-] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 25 points 4 months ago

I heard he can't even tie his shoes anymore.

"Anymore" implies he was able to at some point

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago

Just grab em by the laces

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

He tries, but the Velcro is getting in the way

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I heard it too. And everyone is talking about it. I'm talking about it right now! See?

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

I saw a comment earlier today calling on trump to resign. Everyone is saying it:

"Don't you think he looks tired?"

[-] glitches_brew@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Well, he was asleep a lot of the time he was being convicted of being a felon so he is probably as tired as he looks.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

But his voters/supporters love how his mental abilities are lower than theirs

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

Trump looks, talks, and acts like someone who has had a series of strokes. As well has having mini ones like during his speeches. Sadly, most republicans are still lower than him in cognitive ability.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 28 points 4 months ago

Bigly diminished. The best even.

[-] bobburger@fedia.io 18 points 4 months ago

Trump heard Joe Biden might have dementia so he went out and got even bigger dementia, the best dementia!

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

People say it all the time, they tell him, he's got the best dementia, historic really. No airport could ever outshine his monumental brain fog.

[-] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nobody has ever had more diminished cognitive capacity than me, everybody's saying it. I have the best deficits, just tremendous problems with coherent thought

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

You sound like my kind of leader! Let's go, Brandon!! Save this country from all these mouth breathing librarians, let's go!

[-] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

His cognitive decline has been tremendous.

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

I read the speech and then found the clip. It honestly looks like he was having a series of mini strokes.
