I am long past being interested in what this person says. I concentrate on what he does. And I know him well enough by now to not be surprised by the callousness. But I can't imagine that this statement will be well received. The corporate media can continue to sanewash him, but his actions are becoming harder to sanitize.

with a family history of dementia, to make decisions about our children's and grandchildren's future.

His only future is a funeral home.

* Written by a 76 yr. old man - with all of his faculties - who'd never deign to act as president.

...even for him. Sounds a lot like what Charlie Kirk said - "“I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational.”

It would be interesting to know if any of the service members or their families voted for TSF.

That a person can be that openly disrespectful to the military and still get elected. I used to think even looking sideways at the military would be a career ender. Drumpf is immune to everything!!!
