That video doesn't tell us whether or not Trump is starting to get dementia. It just shows us that he's got some sort of reading disability. But the bolded above is true. Trump never misses a chance to put others down. He's the divider-in-chief.

If a word's pronunciation is enough to remove your brain from the conversation because it's obsessed with OH MY GOD, A MISTAKE, then there's not much hope for you.
I agree that much of this is an over-reaction, but you have to admit that Trump would be well-advised to run through his speeches ahead of time so he doesn’t get caught out like this. Mistakes in pronunciation feed the public’s appetite for seeing Trump embarrassed.

The President was just giving a shout out to people of ancient southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs.

"Yo! Semites!"

80/20 rule.

Wouldn't be worth the effort.

The only people who care about this are the ones who are going to care that his shoes are untied, too, and how that makes him literally hitler. Mistake or not, he's going to get raked over the coals so **** it why waste time on such an effort when priorities demand attention elsewhere?

...especially when that attention is so fleeting to begin with

Perhaps, to give Trump a worthy opponent?

Considering that Arabs are also Semites, this is more likely a subtle reference to the ongoing Middle East peace process. And the sequoias are a reference to the cedars of Lebanon.

In defense of El-Stupido, there were several words there that he didn't screw-up.

I do wonder if 5 minutes afterwards, he could even recall what it was he was babbling on about.

They show no mercy to Biden over his life long stutter but snowflakes want us to give Trump a break?

He can be forgiven for his "lifelong stutter," but we need to figure out what's going on with him that makes him sniff kid's hair.

And also...
