Can you imagine the wall to wall coverage had it been Biden who called his wife by the wrong name? It would go on for weeks.

Because it's Trump they'll be nary a peep about this from the "liberal" media.

Edit: Confirmed this morning - not a word about Trump's demented rambling on the front pages of CNN, NBC, NYT or WA Post. The GQP front-runner's inability to string a coherent sentence together or remember his wife's name should be front page news. If Biden tripped over a mic stand it would be.

    The GOP is about to nominate an old man who can’t remember his 3rd wife’s name who is facing 91 federal charges.

    Thanks for that horrifying visual. Ugh, I need to go soak my brain in bleach.

    Probably another porn star he cheated on his (then) wife with.

    The thought of the day that I get to watch Donald Trump finally stroke out on stage for good is honestly what keeps me going at this point.

    The guy who gave his daughter plastic surgery treats women as objects. It's not even shocking. It's not news. It's nothing. It's obvious. The weird part is, that people like him for it.

    I usually manage to call my possessions by their correct names. Trump has dementia.

    The number of people who don't seem to get that is staggering. He's shown clear signs of cognitive decline since at most 2020. I know mental health and elder care professionals that were noticing it as early ad 2016.

    Just watch his interviews from around 9/11. He's still a stupid, pompous, narcissistic, lying piece of shit with delusions of grandiosity, but he could speak coherently and form complete thoughts.

    It's likely only a matter of months before he finally sundowns with cameras on him, although I'm sure his handlers are trying their hardest to keep that from happening.

    I mean, it doesn't make it better, but he got confused because he was talking about Mercedes Schlapp earlier.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Trump probably regards her as an acquisition, like a luxury car.

    Is his brain even going to last the nine months til the election? It feels like in just a month or two he will have degraded to saying the n-word on stage while talking about how bad he wants to fuck his daughter.

    What are the odds that we just learned what he has been calling her at home for years?

    I am continually amazed by the USA. How does he get so much support? Why are all your candidates walking corpses? How did it get to this point?

    Look around.

    How did Modi get so much support?

    How did Johnson get so much support?

    How did Le Pen get so much support?

    How did Meloni get so much support?

    How did Erdogan get so much support?

    How did Orban get so much support?

    How did Netanyahu get so much support?

    How did Wilders get so much support?

    Awful leaders with popular support are by no means unique to the USA.

    Foreign-funded propaganda masquerading as legitimate news and foreign-funded legislators have a LOT to do with this, as well as manipulated social media.

    If it were still illegal for a media outlet to call itself news without holding itself to journalistic standards, we would not be having nearly the problems in the US we are having today. "Divided we fall," and so it is.

    And if you look around, that was also the case with Brexit in 2016, and with the rise of other far-right demagogues around the world since then.
