When did I say it was unreasonable for the media to fixate on the Springfield comment? I don't have a personal stake in the race, I don't care what they talk about. (All I remember from that debate was when Trump said Tim Walz gave the "okay" for "executing babies post-birth" (lmao) and how the Haitian migrants were eating the dogs and cats. Trump' rhetoric is utterly unhinged, I don't blame the media for covering it.) All I'm saying is that it is objectively embarassing how the dems will complain about how the MSM holds this "double-standard" against Trump b/c they aren't wearing the softest punching gloves known-to-man when interviewing Harris, or b/c they aren't overly focused on Trump's blunders 24/7. Aren't y'all the party that's fighting for "democracy"? When it comes to Trump v Biden cognative states, it's not a matter of how informed you percieve them to be: Biden and Trump have focus-tested lines which they are to memorize and regurgitate. So, your perception of "informed" is truthfully just a matter of "Who had the best lines memorized" and "Who delivered the lines best?". When I'm talking about the cognitative state I observe from them, I'm thinking back to every public appearence from Biden between late-June and mid-July 2024 where he would literally be so focused on trying to construct a coherent sentence that he would be lifting his arms in a manner which reminds me of when I would learn a new piano piece lol (and most of the time, he would sound like an old dude speaking in the lowest possible tone, getting easily agitated, and stumbling over all his words). Trump, on the other hand, is not anywhere near this level of mental decline. He is still able to get up on his rally stage and deliver his talking points in such a manner so as to greatly energize his base. He's not as sharp as he was eight years ago, but it's no question whether his or Biden's cognative state is more acceptable. |
The claim is that Trump has a different standard applied to him. So when he says stuff that would end a standard politician's career we talk about it for a little while and then we move on. The dude said that Hatians are eating pets in Ohio and we've already moved on to his lies about the hurricane. Personally I think the media just can't keep up with all the stupid crap he says and does but I can see why one would be annoyed that Trump can incoherently answer specific questions about funding child care with absolute nonsense and his cognitive decline is not the first thing questioned. Maybe it's because he was always an idiot, but it's still a difficult double standard.
Perhaps Trump should try the arm lifting trick as I've never heard a coherent sentence from the man. You ever read a transcript of his speeches?
There's definitely a question of which dude's cognitive state is more acceptable. I'm asking it right here.
