Some of the things he's said in the past year, when he's not in front of a crowd, might indicate early stages of dementia. Time will tell.
It’s not dementia. It’s just being an idiot and not caring to learn because that’s not his message and he knows it doesn’t matter.
¿Porque no los dos?
Would anyone be able to tell if it was actually dementia?
Good point. Could just be tertiary syphilis.
I had a friend when I was younger named Will, but we called him anything but Will. My favorite name for him was syphwillis.
Could just be the late stage syphilis
Republican legislation is now pushing a bill to change the name from Sioux City to Sioux Falls to cover Trump's blunder.
They were fine with Regan they are fine with dumb shit Trump.
Its not about choosing the best guy for the job its about hurting the democrats.

They hid Reagan's dementia, but I agree they will be fine with Trump.
I guess it's easy to confuse the two when you're a moron ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Americans vote nursing home candidates instead of presidential candidates
I don't think the average American wants politicians this old, they are being chosen by their political parties as having the highest chance of winning because we have a broken voting system that encourages fewer candidates per party so that they don't steal votes from each other.
That is why we need ranked choice voting, so that more candidates can run without competing and we could vote for people we actually like instead of voting against candidates we don't like.
Not to mention the need to level the playing field in terms of campaign financing which currently makes it more likely for more established politicians to have collected funding from private organizations, superpacs, and corporate lobbying.
This means that the politicians who are in the pockets of the capitalist elites are more likely to win and to enact the will of these corporations.

The first time we go seven days without a Trump story will be glorious.
I miss a world that isn't in continuous crisis.
You're around 4000 years too late.
ok, then I miss being uninformed.
That'll be months after his death and not a moment sooner.

Man I mix shit like that up constantly I'm barely over 30.
do you constantly accuse others of having dementia? the hypocrisy is the issue here
The hypocrisy, sure.
But also the, "If you were traveling there to give a fucking speech, you'd make sure you got it right" factor too.
I hate Trump because of his terrible politics, his horrible personality, and all of his criminal activities, including leading a failed insurrection.
We have enough bad things to say about him without making a big deal out of nothing.
We even have a lot of shit we can point at if we want to question his mental state, like how he said that windmills were killing whales, and his huge recent revelation that the word "us" was spelled U-S, which he thought he was the first person to realize.
Yes, Republicans would be all over Biden if he made this mistake, but these are the same morons who decided that vaccines were bad during a pandemic, but that it made sense to go blind eating horse dewormer that didn't actually fight the disease.
So Sioux me..
Ahem. I'll see myself out.
I wouldn’t normally think it’s a big deal to mix up two similar-sounding cities— once I got on a flight to Greenville and the flight attendant got on the speaker and said “welcome to flight [xxx] to Greensboro,” causing momentary panic— but this is part of a pattern. He recently has said he beat Obama in an election, that Jeb Bush was president, that Biden could get us into World War II, and several more. Taken in isolation any of these things could be dismissed as a slip of the tongue but taken all together, it does suggest the guy might be losing his grip.
I'm from the Midwest and I had to Google which was which.
Yes, but you weren't in one of them.
He should have someone write it down at the back of his guitar like the pros.
If he were president still, he could've just used his Magic Sharpie on a map and moved the cities to make himself correct.
Like he did with that hurricane he redirected.
Wow, I remember that being a big thing back then, and now it seems so trivial...
Fun fact: falsely altering data from the national meteorological agency like that is ALSO a felony that carries a maximum penalty of actual prison time. Would have been a hilarious way to finally cage that bastard IMO!
This sounds like a Phoenix Wright plot.
I'd play that for sure 😄

Sioux City, Iowa, where he was. Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where he said he was.
