“The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment."

The Washington Post · Is Donald Trump okay?By Eugene Robinson

@wdlindsy You can hardly blame the press if they find it more newsworthy a US President having dementia than a US Presidential Candidate, who speaks nonsense most of the time, speaking nonsense again.

On a side note, both have had COVID-19, which is known to damage the brain, so maybe this is the reason for their behavior; not their age.

@bontchev I'm confused: what does this mean?:

"If they find it more newsworthy a US President having dementia than a US Presidential Candidate, who speaks nonsense most of the time, speaking nonsense again."

Who's who in that sentence?

@wdlindsy What are you confused about? You don't know that Biden is the US President and Trump is a US Presidential Candidate?

@wdlindsy I just explained this, ferkrissake. Stop wasting my time and learn to read carefully.
