As Twitch has reported, we're now at the point in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's media blitz for "Original Sin" where they're using evidence of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline to question President Donald Trump's mental health. We already questioned Trump's mental health during his first term — Brian Stelter's good friend Bandy X. Lee wanted Trump locked up in a 72-hour psychological hold for observation. A little group of mental health professionals against Trump held a tiny protest march.
The New Republic is going to give it another shot, asking if Trump is in cognitive decline after "multiple weird rants."
The New Republic reports:
At an Arlington Memorial Day ceremony intended to commemorate fallen soldiers, Trump basically alleged that his second term was a gift from God because the nation would experience both the World Cup and the Olympics during the next four years.
“In some ways I’m glad I missed that second term where it was,” Trump said, apparently refusing once again to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 presidential election. “Because I wouldn’t be your president for that—most important of all, in addition we have the World Cup and we have the Olympics.
“Can you imagine, I miss that four years and now I have everything,” Trump continued. “Amazing the way things work out. God did that; I believe that.”
(The World Cup and the Olympics are not scheduled by God, as you can imagine. Instead, they are both held every four years, with host countries selected through non-national organizations.)
During the same speech, Trump offered another verbal “covfefe” moment, lazily stumbling over the word “cryptologist” and instead blurting out “cryptolologic” while referring to a technician.
Dear God. He's as bad as Biden.
Where were they last year?
Speaking of "covfefe" moments, remember when Stelter devoted an episode of "Reliable Sources" to typos in Trump's tweets?
They really are. This is such a stretch from an outlet that covered up Biden's obvious mental decline for four years.
