Hello Mike,

I mean, if it is enough to be of concern and disqualify a *potential*
Republican candidate, shoudn't it also be of concern for a *sitting*
President, and disqualify someone as a potential candidate from any
party?

It should. That is up to Biden's cabinet to decide, as it was up to
Trump's
cabinet to decide.

So, if Biden decides to run again, and is showing the same behavior, that would disqualify him in your mind, or do we have to depend on his cabinet to tell us? We are the ones who vote, not just the President's cabinet.

Biden 48%
Trump 42%

Yahoo News/YouGov Survey
Sept 2 to Sept 6, 2022

Imagine that. Biden trouncing Trump by 50 million votes in 2024.

A likely scenario, given the most recent polls.

For Life,
Lee

That would depend on who he was running against.

Then whether or not Biden, or Trump, is senile is a non-issue for one of us.

"Last week, the weirdo -- he's a weirdo -- Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, kissed my ass.. kissed my ass. sure I'd love to have dinner. sure I'd love to have dinner, I'd love to bring my lovely wife.

"all right, Mark, come on in."

"Sir, you're #1 on Facebook, I'd like to congratulate you!"
"Oh, thank you very much, Mark, I appreciate it"



The above words were said during a rally in Pennsylvania, on Saturday, September 4, 2022. nearly two years after fired former federal employee Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 election by over 7 million votes (and 74 electoral votes), and nearly 20 months after he was evicted from The White House.



Trump did dine with Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel at The White House in 2019. According to Meta, the dinner invitation came from Trump.



"Time shifting" is a pretty common thing in later-stage dementia.

"Time shifting" is a pretty common thing in later-stage dementia.

Trump is, as you pointed out, no longer President, so it is not as much of
a concern as, say, someone who is President that has also showed clear
signs of experiencing "time shifting" and other common things in
later-stage dementia.

has he though? other than some vocal slip-ups, mumbled words (which could be related to his stutter), and forgetting where he was while talking (which I do quite often), I've never seen any signs of "time shifting" where he thinks he's still Obama's Vice President or anything.


And it's defnitely concerning when nearly half of the voting population of the country wants him to be president again. (and a much smaller, but far more vocal percentage thinks he still _is_ president)

Trump is eligible to run again in 2024 and has hinted strongly that he

He has, at various times, placed his time as vice president in multiple incorrect decades. He has also claimed, at least twice, to have more
recently spoken to someone than possible (since the person has been dead
for longer than claimed). Yes, he could be lying some of the time he does
it.

He has also at least twice recently attempted to shake hands with thin air.

And it's defnitely concerning when nearly half of the voting population of the
ountry wants him to be president again. (and a much smaller, but far more voca
percentage thinks he still _is_ president)

A lot can happen between now and November, 2024. If he continues
displaying such behavior, I would agree it is a concern, but apparently not
too much of one since the current President's mental state has been in
question since before the previous election and it apparently doesn't
bother you that much.

There is a lot of time between now and November, 2024, for any cognative
issues Trump has to come to light and change people's minds.

OTOH, the person I brought up as a bigger concern is currently in the office, has also hinted strongly that he will run in 2024, and was displaying
cognative decline symptoms before November, 2020.

I mean, if it is enough to be of concern and disqualify a *potential* Republican candidate, shoudn't it also be of concern for a *sitting*
President, and disqualify someone as a potential candidate from any party?

Or is dementia another one of those double-standard issues?

Would it, though?

Trump was declining while he was in office, too.

It should. That is up to Biden's cabinet to decide, as it was up to Trump's cabinet to decide.

Or is dementia another one of those double-standard issues?

Nope.

A senile president can be replaced much more easily than a non-senile one, should the need arise.
