Trump said: “And Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to spread the nuclear rumor.
Barack Obama is not the current president. The current president is Joe Biden. Donald Trump doesn’t seem to know this.
The inability to remember who the current president is has become such a standard part of Trump’s speeches that Trump claims his cognitive decline is intentional.
The media has decided that Joe Biden’s age is an issue in this election, not Donald Trump’s, but it is Trump who is showing signs of severe cognitive decline. The corporate media refuses to objectively discuss the ages of the two candidates and their relative suitability for office.
Trump doesn’t know who the current president is, but the media has no problem with that, but if Biden mixes up the name of a leader of a foreign country, it’s press time.
The coverage is absurd, but what is dangerous is that the corporate media looks the other way in the face of Trump’s mental decline.
