Had this been Biden, Fox and co. would be railing, raving, gesticulating for days about being too-old and unfit to serve.

But it's still interesting that this other old presidential contender is fumbling his words. Might be stress as much as age. He's gotta be concerned about his future with all this.

Typical guilty shitheel tactic: play the "old and frail" card for sympathy points, just like how Harvey Weinstein busted out the walker for photo ops. He's still a rapist and Trump is still a traitor (and probably also a rapist).

There's no probably. If New York's rape laws weren't so archaic and specific, he would've been found guilty of rape.

really speaks to the political system in the usa that two 80 year old men with dementia have the leading odds of presidency.

this video really opened my eyes to how the political system works in the US https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/an-honest-conversation-with-larry-sharpe:6

edit: update for right video

"I am Biden laptop, Crime Family and I have the best age, everyone agrees my age is the best around."

US Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya then asked the former president to state his full name. “Donald J Trump — John — Donald John Trump,” Mr Trump replied hesitantly. He was then asked for his date of birth, and tripped over his words again. At first, he said “seven seven,” before correcting himself and saying “77”.

Saved you all a click, there's no recording of it just this text account of it

I can't stand Trump, but to be fair, I've struggled with both of those questions before

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a Trump good or Trump bad thing. It just sounds like he was having anxiety, as he should have been.

I hope he's suffering as much as he's made the rest of us.

Just seems weird because he seemed untouchable before

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah Trump is scared. As he should be.

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I hope he has many sleepless nights and when he does fall asleep that he wakes up five minutes later in a cold sweat. Fuck that guy.
