Mr Trump made the gaffe about the threat of World War II — which finished in 1945 — during the part of his address in which he was questioning the mental acuity of 80-year-old Mr Biden.

Maybe he got confused by all the swastikas around these days. It sure feels like the rise of the third Reich down in Florida

No one’s expecting Germany to invade Poland, that would be way more surprising this time ‘round.

That boy ain't right....

Yet the media will not be running article after article on Trump’s “fitness” to be president.

Because they know the answer is “He never was, he never will be.”

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 85 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, last time this many Nazis were openly supporting a fascist lunatic we did get WWII.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And WWII was quite bad, nobody wants another WWII.

his brain is scrambled eggs

[–] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago (6 children)

If the Left weren't so timid, they would be all over this and demand he is examined for senility. Because, let's face it, that is exactly what the GOP would do if Biden started talking about the War of 1812 or how he will defeat George W Bush.

Sure, there are going to be a bunch of snarky comments and a few memes about this posted, but I hate to break it to you all, our comments on social media don't mean squat. We need actual people in positions of power to come forward and demand Trump get a mental health exam. But they clearly are too cowardly to do so.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Timidity isn't the problem. The "left" only exists in online forums such as Lemmy. Truth be told, there's been such a disastrous amount of damage done to working class consciousness over the decades during the cold war that people think wanting universal healthcare is communist.

The number of powerful politicians on the left I can count on one hand.

What you're talking about isn't cowardice. It's complicity. They want Trump to be the nominee, because they think they can beat him. Worst case scenario, he wins, and they get to fundraise like hell and benefit from his tax cuts.

They don't want to prove he's incompetent to stand trial.

His dementia is really showing now, huh.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

I mean he's always been such an eloquent and thoughtful speaker, you know?

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do we actually need more proof that Trump has a brain of cheese? Even before being old he was fucking deranged. It's a joke that this is even a topic of discussion at this point.

Seems likely. I mean, reading stuff from the 90s, it seems he had his brains in order then, just with that bad habit of putting his d*ck into too many places. And cocaine may not necessarily make one that demented.

It's kinda sad. I'd really like to die before I turn into something like this, no matter how.

let's be real: insanity is the only defense left on the table. he's always been incoherent, so his lawyers probably told him to lean into it.
