I see the same changes in Bill Clinton and definitely Joe Biden in 20 years’ time. Tell us something we don’t know.

Yes it is, and as being a child of your parents, you don't want things to happen....which is why you think they are still the same.


I don't passionately have blind defense, I've called trump a liar in P&C.....sorry to disappoint you, sorry no not sorry.

Well no I don’t want things to happen to them, but I am unbiased and reasonable in my thinking unlike many people, so I am okay with it when it happens. They have not had a breathtaking decline. Maybe a very slight decline.

And my bet is you voted for trump.

I’ll say this again. If you mention Biden or the democrats you’re in denial, or are a biased trump cheerleader disagreeing for political bias reasons and not reality. Clinton is still very intelligent and articulate. The title of the thread was BREATHTAKING DECLINE. Clinton and biden have not had a breathtaking decline

If you want to comepare id say Clinton and Biden have had a 10% decline, while trump has had a 70% decline.

Sheesh. You look at the name, and decide to pick a fight. Always.

But in this case, completely proving my point.

So I guess your point is, this decline is not shocking, if Trump has dementia. Ok. Something we can agree on.
Are you crazy? I don’t know one 50 year old who looks, acts, or sounds the same at 70. Add in the pressure of a presidential campaign and 3.5 years of day to day hell and here’s what you have.

Again, what’s so shocking or surprising here.

I just think we need to return this country back to normal again. It has been an utter disaster under President Trump, this country is in far worse shape than when President Trump first found it and I really don't think it's going to get better as long as he is in office. The American people are TIRED.

Time for a change of leadership.

This is not just a case of some slowing down with age - he is a completely different person.

Below is an interview he did with Larry King in 1999. He is calm, articulate, smooth, measured, acts dignified and can speak in complete and complex sentences with a large vocabulary. Heck, I might even have considered voting for him back then, or at least I wouldn't have minded if he got elected. I've no doubt he was just as much the narcissist back then as he is now, but at least he was clearly capable of covering that up with intelligent statements, a generous amount of charm and something resembling at least a facade of compassion.



Fast-forward 21 years and the differences are stunning. His voice is rough, his vocabulary is clearly much smaller, his sentences are short and choppy, and he is constantly repeating himself - the latter of which he does very little of in the 1999 interview. It is breathtaking how completely different he is now. And I note this is an interview with a friendly interviewer. Anybody who denies he has gone drastically downhill since then has blinders on.

More left-wing butt-spew. It's Biden who is losing it.

Nothing about policy. It's always about policy.

Orange man bad.

Dementia is one of the manifestations of late syphilis and it is characterized by cognitive deterioration and behaviour disturbances. We report on a male patient with cognitive decline, behaviour disorder, hyperactivity, hallucinations, short-term memory and Argyll Robertson pupils due to neurosyphilis.

I’m not a doctor, but I play one on tv.
