Former Republican lawmaker Joe Walsh said, "Any one of these from a previous president would have rightly caused widespread open speculation from the press and the public that something was genuinely wrong with their brain," he said on X.

"There should be coverage of Trump’s cognitive decline. Massive coverage," the ex-congressman said. "Because it’s an issue. A huge issue."

Trump quote: "I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy."
Trump was asked, "Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and noncitizens, deserve due process... Do you agree?" The president then replied, saying, "I don't know... I'm not, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know."

I don't normally post stuff like this, but the pope pic is beyond crazy coming from the White House. We have gotten used to it, haven't we. He has smart and evil people working for him, but he has lost it.

Exactly. Yet his "decline" seems to track with what his supporters want. They're on the same wavelength. Brain rot all around. And the rest are all ignorant or evil. They don't notice and only care to pushback on you and I.
