    Trump is definitely losing his ability to manage his lies/grifts. Biden is losing his syntactic abilities. Both options aren’t good, but one is waaay more damaging to the American way.

      Biden isn’t losing his syntactic abilities, he’s a man with a stutter and a history of verbal gaffes, who has lived a long time and met a lot of people, and was interviewed during a time of extreme stress (right at the start of the Israel/Palestine conflict), after having likely gotten minimal sleep for days.

      I hate that this narrative of “he’s too old” is making the rounds again, when if you had a camera following you around 24 hours a day, it would almost certainly capture you saying something stupid all the time.

      Watch footage of his recent speeches without cherry-picking the ones with gaffes. He’s been perfectly fine and eloquent most of the time.
