Since I don't listen to Jake Tapper, what he wrote desn't mean squat. Like I said,
Biden was old, but I’ve seen dementia and Biden didn’t have it. Sure, he was old and aging while in office, but in general he did a very good job. People are saying that Biden was a vegetable while others ran the country. Woodrow Wilson's health condition was concealed following a stroke that left him incapacitated. FDR's handicap was covered up. I believe Eisenhower had a heart attack while in office and his heath was kept under wraps. It is said that Reagan was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s in his last term. We didn't see all this then.
Trump lied over 30,000 times in his first presidency, yet people talk about Biden. Now the fact Trump lied so much is a problem, but the bigger problem would be that he really believes the lies he is telling are true. That is dementia. Biden struggling to answer questions is old age. Trump shutting down and dancing on stage for 30 minutes is another show of his decline, but for some reason his age wasn’t made a big issue.
Whoever was running the country during the Biden presidency took us out of COVID. Whoever was running the country passed very beneficial legislation that Republicans opposed and now give themselves credit for. Whoever was running the country organized NATO to help Ukraine defend itself. Whoever was running the country deported more people than Trump. Whoever was running the country had serious border legislation sabotaged by Trump. Whoever was running the country rebuilt the economy and left Trump with the best economy on earth. If that person had dementia, then we need more leaders with dementia. Whoever was leading the country then still needs to be leading it now.
