MAGA dissidents join Democrats in questioning Trump's 'mental capacity'

New worries about President Trump's state of mind are being expressed openly by former allies and aides as liberal foes pounce on voters' ag

Critics point to Trump's recent rhetoric, including threats against Iran and social media posts, as evidence of erratic behavior.

A recent poll shows a majority of Americans, including many independents and some Republicans, believe Trump has become more erratic with age.

The White House and Trump's remaining allies dismiss these concerns, contrasting his energy with that of former President Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump's behavior and comments have long led political opponents to question his mental health, but now the accusation that he is unhinged is coming from more than the usual liberal suspects in the past few weeks.

Prominent conservative pundits − from former Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and podcaster Candace Owens − are suggesting the president is unwell.

"I really think that his mental capacity needs to be examined," Marjorie Taylor Greene said an April 15 appearance on CNN International.

“I Don’t Know.” Trump’s Go-To Response to All Sorts of Questions

Three times in the last week, President Trump expressed ignorance when responding to questions about his signature policies.

President Donald Trump keeps saying he doesn’t know what his own administration is up to. Three times in the last week, Trump responded to questions about his signature policies by expressing ignorance. Is he truly clueless? Is he fully aware of the answer but using ignorance as a cover? Whatever the case, the White House doesn’t want to talk about it. The first instance came in comments to NBC News’ Kristen Welker on May 4. Though Trump has twice placed his hand on a bible and sworn, to the best of his ability, to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” he seemed to have forgotten those oaths on “Meet the Press.” Asked whether everyone in the United States is entitled to due process — the constitutional rights enshrined in both the Fifth and the Fourteenth amendments — Trump was foggy. “I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer,” he said. “I don’t know.”

Fitness and Mental Acuity varies between candidates. 🙄

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Donald Trump’s racism, sexism, xenophobia and penchant for corruption have long made him unfit for any public office, let alone the presidency. But as he continues his bid for a second term in the White House, there is an unsettling and undeniable shift that is leading many experts, observers and even some Trump supporters to conclude that the former president’s mental acuity and sharpness are also in decline, that his physical health and stamina are waning and that his frustration and anger are boiling over. Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump’s words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness. There’s no need to resort to armchair psychology to interpret what’s apparent. If victorious, Trump would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. In recent weeks, he has canceled an increasing number of public appearances, with Trump’s own campaign citing the candidate’s exhaustion. When he does appear publicly, Trump struggles to complete sentences or sustain coherent thoughts, and has shown a pronounced difficulty concentrating and a tendency to repeat himself, sometimes within the same sentence. At a recent rally in New Hampshire, for example, Trump began to discuss infrastructure and wound up segueing into a disjointed monologue about loyalty and perceived injustices against him, ending with a bewildering comment about windmills causing cancer. This is not an isolated incident. A recent analysis by The New York Times noted that Trump’s rally speeches over the past eight years have become darker, longer, more profane and increasingly unfocused and unhinged — a troubling sign that he is no longer able to articulate ideas or reason in ways we expect of our leaders. This makes him prey to manipulations by his own staff or, worse, the control of foreign adversaries. He shambles about aimlessly, slurs his words and sometimes speaks gibberish. Always an effortless liar, now that his speeches are nothing more than a series of lies tangled in a mass inside his head, it appears he no longer even knows he’s lying.  He has called for the imprisonment of journalists, pledged to purge the government of “deep state” operatives he perceives as disloyal and is amplifying his tyrannical rhetoric. He has also increased his public praise for dictators like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping while using increasingly fascist language to describe those he deems political enemies. The former president has even suggested using the military against his domestic critics — an approach reminiscent of repressive regimes in history that has often been the precursor to creeping authoritarianism. [...] Donald Trump has never had the moral compass to lead this country. But even his supporters cannot afford to ignore the signs that he may no longer have the mental faculties to lead it either. The stakes are simply too high.

Biden Moment- Military Story Told at Campaign Stop Inaccurate

Biden Moment- Military Story Told at Campaign Stop Inaccurate

A Biden Moment told at one of his campaign stops turned out to be inaccurate. Lately he’s been having some trouble with things…everything for example. But when he told an emotional military story in New Hampshire earlier in the month,  The Washington Post checked it. It was “full of inaccuracies.”

“Biden’s allegedly tall tale was an emotional account of his decision to travel to Afghanistan,…
