      Trump’s rambling speeches and stream-of-consciousness press briefings could be symptoms of his “cognitive decline,” according to one of America’s top rhetoric experts.

      The warning comes as Trump and his aides are calling for congressional probe into Joe Biden’s mental state during his one-term presidency.

      Trump’s father, Fred, was reportedly diagnosed with dementia in the early 1990s and died of pneumonia and Alzheimer’s disease at age 93 in 1999. Now, Dr. Jennifer R. Mercieca has told the *Daily Beast* that the president’s communication patterns are a cause for concern.

      “His lack of focus makes it seem as though he’s experiencing cognitive decline, that his brain is not well-disciplined, and he’s unable to maintain a thought and carry it through to a logical conclusion,” said Mercieca, a professor of Communication and Journalism at Texas A&M University explained.

      No shit. Trump also had a stroke or multiple strokes. You can literally see the drooping in his face.

      i’m all for media covering this and all but it feels like shouting into an abyss. trump could show signs of diarrhoea in his pants and the people who need to matter in congress won’t give it a second of thought much less action against him

      Yes, he’s been showing these signs for years. But god forbid, Biden is sick during one debate and everyone loses their minds.

      Even more shocking from that article is that only 31% of Americans believe his age and health severely affect his ability to be president. I say this as an American, but we really are something…

      Plenty of very qualified people were saying this way before the election, his vocab and sentence lengths showed rapid decline since 2016 speeches. He is now using loads of filler words to try and compensate like big, beautiful, he won’t be able to compensate for much longer.

    7. Someone better tell jake Tapper so he can write a book about it in five years.

      Shows signs? The only people who don’t already realize this have not watched his rallies, pressers, speeches, etc.

      Anyone with a semblance of intelligence could tell you that his years of rambling incoherently point to cognitive decline. The only reason it may be hard to tell is that Trump isn’t smart outside of branding. He doesn’t know or understand concepts outside of his narrow wheelhouse. He’s just an old rich guy that mastered BSing long ago.

      As a reminder to all, 80 year old billionaire real estate salemen do not mean it when they say “I love you.”

      Decline would seem to imply there was a point in time he was actually competent.

      I’ve seen no evidence he was ever competent.

      The MAGA crowd has responded:

      …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden! …but Biden!

      A. It’s been obvious to everyone.

      B. Remember Mitch the Turtle? He blue screened in front of the whole world and needed to be escorted away; but he was fiiine. Right back like nothing happened. They. Don’t. Care.

      Funny… Similarly, various poignant indicators have also been identified by everyone with common fucking sense.

      I’ve read this same article for the last 7 years. Nothing ever changes 🤷🏻‍♂️

    14. No offense to the speech expert here, but I didn’t need him to draw this conclusion.

    15. It presents as classic vascular dementia, the result of a series of small strokes over the years. It cannot be reversed and eats away at cognitive function, slowly but surely.

      He is there.

    16. MajorAstronaut7970 on

      People have been saying this since 2016. Time to accept he’s just nuts.

    17. InfinityComplexxx on

      So, how many years of „signs of mental decline“ does Trump get away with before we can point-blank admit his mentally gone? Because it’s going on 10 years now.

      Oh, right, only Biden gets labeled that instantly if he stumbles up a speech once.

    18. sir_percy_percy on

      Not sure we need an ‘expert’ here.. he is clearly one sandwich short of a picnic

    19. I’m pretty sure FOX just ran a segment lambasting… former president Joe Biden about his mental decline during his last year of POTUS. I swear to Christ these people will do *anything* to avoid criticizing Donald Trump

    20. Open-Year2903 on

      Yes in 2012 when he trademarked Regan’s camps slogan …make America great again

      I’ve been saying „this is nothing new“ to this for awhile, but after that TACO press conference today, I can say the guy’s brain is quickly getting even worse than he was even a few weeks ago. It was less than incoherent. He couldn’t even pronounce normal words. It was straight up garbal gook.

    22. He’s for sure mentally off with severe anger issues and this guy has the launch codes.

    23. It should be on the front page everywhere. The dumb fuck obviously has dementia.

      Not that he was ever the most skilled speaker but they should be on him harder than they were Biden for his age. Biden just stuttered and was old. Trump is old and on a one way train to Alzheimersville.

    24. SmoothJazziz1 on

      Since Republicans were so up in arms about the Democrats hiding Joe Biden’s mental decline, surely they have people lined up to let the American people know when Trump’s brain becomes complete Jello /s

      He’s been showing signs of moral decline since the 80s, yet morons still revere him.
