That's my favorite part of the excuse. If he's bruising from shaking hands he's definitely too old to be president.

For real, isn't that way worse for optics than just saying it was routine bloodwork? Lol

It’s a joke about bi erasure.

I’m bi. That’s how I have a gay husband but am not gay.

Biden couldn’t even form sentences so trumps an improvement for the functional side of it

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

And this quote is from when Trump was 8 years younger.

They won’t notice you don’t finish sentences if you just avoid stopping.

Jesus Crispy Crap. It is hard to believe that this isn't a quote from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, that a real, flesh and blood "human" said this shit....wow.

Tell me you haven't listened to Trump talk without telling me you haven't listened to Trump talk.

Also, I don't know if you know this, but Biden wasn't running in 2024. So it's not really the other choice in this scenario.

It doesn't matter just how demented you think Biden was (spoiler: if you watch anything other than Fox News he speaks relatively fine). A lucid Trump is still way worse.

He may actually get more tolerable the more demented he gets. His ideas are so terrible that literal nonsense would be less damaging.

Also, Kamala was the nominee. You have severe Biden derangement syndrome.

He had a stutter. He actually had a way larger grasp on reality than Trump. Trump just makes up bullshit and has full on dementia. Just like this Ukraine shit. He’s either dementia ridden or a traitor.

The sign of a failing argument is "what about?" It means you concede you've lost on facts.
