That's right. Some just cannot accept how he is actually non-functional and is transparent to those who matter. How many have left his side after having to work with him, discovering what they were dealing with, certainly thinking "What the hell....??" Then, for those still having to be around him during the week, it must be difficult....(counting the days, as many are).

I don't know. Every person I know who voted for Trump are supporting him again with even more enthusiasm. And I live in a liberal area.

While Trump has a lot of support for "telling it like it is", he is starting to appear as a puppet to those who really enjoy the show he puts on for them.

Trump has always reminded me of the drunk old guy sitting at the end of the bar, ranting incoherently about stuff he knows nothing about but convinced that he's brilliant.

Egged on by those who want cheap entertainment for the night.

As of May 2020 the 45th President has dismissed/fired/ or accepted resignations in the amount of 415 personnell. That speaks volumes about his supposed "cleaning out the swamp". Instead The highly appointed persons were subjected to ridicule and push back from this Nimrod leader. Impeding their duties and forcing them to resign, or casting them aside after they did his bidding.

Spin it how you wish, the Man can't keep a marriage together, and we expected him to "lead" a country? Ohh how blind the mass's are that follow the pied piper.

Robert Reich is as partisan as they come.

If a far right conservative was critical of Obama - as some were - liberals would reject the opinion as partisan - and rightly so. Reich falls in the same category.

One might see the outward buffoonery exhibited by a juvenile 74-year-old and find the cartoonish demeanor amusing from afar, but the reality for many, knowing that this excuse for a person being in a position to lead, is painful for many reasons.

This article is from a while back, being only representative of many regarding others' interactions with him. The reality is, if one is incapable, it cannot be hidden or swept under the rug, which should be considered by those resisting the truth. I wonder if those doubting the assessments of others if having the opportunity to personally spend time with this individual, would end up thinking afterward?

I recall an experience noted by a female having gone to meet D. T. at a restaurant on a blind date during the ‘80’s. This woman said that after having spent a short while dining with him, she saw how empty-headed he was and was put off overall. As they hadn’t connected on any level, he said he “didn’t have his wallet” leaving her stuck with the bill. (He said he would refund her the money, of course never doing so).

The bottom line is, he is what he is.

Everything in that article might be true, and Trump really might be stupid. The fact that he couldn't figure out how to make money in Atlantic City when it was booming, and all of his casinos went bankrupt is a good indication.

But you know what? The other guy is far worse! A 47 year career politician who hasn't accomplished anything in his life, who will say anything he thinks he as to get his votes. A guy on the side of rioters and looters. A guy who has dementia, no grasp of the facts, and barely knows where he is. A joke.

I'll vote for Trump.

Biden repeatedly denounced rioting and violence, and expressed support for law enforcement. There is no evidence he has dementia beyond political messaging from Trump's reelection efforts and the RNC. Claiming someone has no grasp of the facts while repeating provable falsehoods doesn't lend credibility

I'll admit I didn't watch your link because comments indicate it is 3 yrs old.

I'll offer this instead, sent to me by my sister. As far as I can tell, this is very recent. Worth the 17 minutes IMO.
