Trump's cognitive decline

Alex Wagner shares examples of the disconnected, meandering style of speech that has come to typify Donald Trump's public addresses and wonders why the media concern for President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities has not focused with similar energy on Donald Trump's apparent inability to complete a sentence.

Why doesn't the legacy media go after Trumps cognitive decline? Because they are so far up his ass they have trouble breathing? Just my opinion of course.

It is shocking at some level he shocks the MAGA crowd whose decline is just as serious.

4. She's exactly right. Most of the media is treating Trump as if he's a totally normal candidate.

When the man's not in court, he's babbling about nothing like a "Seinfeld" episode from the dark side. Put him in front of any group and he'll somehow promise whatever that group wants in between the babbling. Next day, different group that wants the opposite, he'll promise them what they want as he flits from mind fart to mind fart. The media skewered Biden. It was a 24/7 breaking news story for weeks on end. WTF????
