    The source of this information is Ronny Jackson, who claimed that Trump’s cognitive and cardiac health were both “excellent”. He was also demoted by the Navy for drinking and taking Ambien while on duty.

    Nothing he says should be believed without additional confirmation.

        Why are you building a straw man? I made no claim about the truth or falsity of what he said; just that you shouldn’t believe it from him.

    My judgement of Biden’s impairment level is: were someone to play chess against him, about once per game he would do what looks like ‘a noob mistake’ caused by his brain not making the connection correctly on a threatening piece. aka he would move on to a threatened square as if not seeing an opposing piece. In chess that means a good opponent would capitalize on it and Biden would lose. But as president, if his team is good enough, they can cover for him. Since he isn’t strokes or ms level, he could still be a functional president; which he was. Definite agree he shouldn’t be president again tho since he will just get worse and 4 years is a long time.

    so tho tons of dramatic news and focus on mental competence, I don’t see anything particularly wrong about what happened nor how things are now. People with that minor level of “age related cognitive decline” can still be awesome and strategic geniuses that have cultivated themselves in to someone better than ‘youngins’. No opinion on whether that is true of Biden, but just sayin.

    imo him running initially was fine and also him not running again is appropriate.

      I think the news part is that fact that that person things the mental decline was observable as early as 2019.

      Lemmy, along with most Democrats, ignored it and practically accused anyone who disagreed with them of being a traitor. Lol.

    A two time White House physician to the president, Ronny Jackson, has lifted the lid on the most concerning signs of President Joe Biden’s mental decline observable as early as 2019.
