“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.”

Or do you think it’s okay to let mentally handicapped people be first line soldiers in war?

I'll stop you right here. That's a false equivalence, or a weak analogy, whichever you prefer.

It’s not that he cannot SPEAK, it’s that he cannot COMMUNICATE because he has SEVERE COGNITIVE ISSUES he can no longer hide!!!

Again, you are not a doctor, and I am not one either. When an actual doctor diagnoses him and says that he is not competent enough to be president, in public, I'll come back here and admit that you have a point.

He also didn’t fully correct himself - he never stated Zelensky’s name.

He did say Zelenskyy's name. You either forgot that, or didn't notice, AHA! I don't think you're competent to be a Lemmy commenter (ok, just joking.)

It's absolutely not a bad analogy, it's actually quite apropos since the president's other title is Commander in Chief, and he also could be shot in the line of duty as others before him have been. Why do you want to down play this so bad? You just enjoy abusing the disabled that much? Or do you like gaslighting others?

Again, doctors cannot publicly say he has dementia without losing their license. Either because of HIPPA, or because of doctor/patient laws regarding diagnosing someone who you've never seen. So unless Biden tells his personal doctor it's okay to release this info, you won't get that. And it's an absolutely preposterous standard to have imo but ofc up to you.

You can have a medical condition without being diagnosed. Diagnosis is a description of what's being observed. It's completely observable in Biden in recordings that he has aphasia. If you need to take time to educate yourself about aphasia, go ahead. You seem very confused about it. If you want to wait for an "official" press release, go for it, but this is just like when there was OBVIOUS ELECTION interference happening and people were saying "well idk, let's see what the judge says." LOL we can see it!!! In front of our faces!

If you could kindly time stamp where he says Zelensky's name: https://youtu.be/0WGDsrRUsTc?si=nnDCT4nNisQu7a6T

Eta: nvm! I saw it! I didn't remember that part, my bad. I still think he's having aphasia issues.

Commanders in Chief are not first line soldiers lol

Ah, I didn't know that. But someone who is an expert in the field could chip in. Right now, it's only political pundits, rich people, newscasters and gasp Hollywood stars!

Actually, here's a couple of them:

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-03-07/joe-biden-age-memory-alzheimers-cognition

I'll concede that those may be biased, so if you find links supporting your claim from alleged experts in the associated medical field, please do share.

They still get shot at? Do you think people with cognition errors should be in any dangerous job? Why not have our offshore welders all have down syndrome, we could legally pay them less and they'll be easier to convince to go in those deep tunnels. And it benefits society for them to do that, we all need cheap energy, right?

Experts in the field CANNOT speak up without losing their licenses and possibly being sued. They CANNOT diagnose someone they do not have a doctor-patient relationship with, where they've seen the person for that specific condition within the last year. The ONLY reason so many medical experts were speaking out about Trump was because they were so worried and were fine risking their license over it, and because they were not actually "diagnosing" him - most called him 'a narcissist,' not someone with narcissistic personality disorder (the latter being a diagnosis, the former being a character trait arguably).

Use your own eyes. Read about aphasia. I think you can put 2+2 together on this one. You don't really need an expert for this.
