"If you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID." (Tampa, FL, July 31, 2018) "If you buy a box of cereal, you have a voter ID." (Oval Office, Nov. 14, 2018) "If you want to go out and buy groceries, you need identification." (Lake Charles, Louisiana, Oct. 11, 2019) This is what Trump said several years ago. You think he's getting any smarter?
"“Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice,” Trump said in February 2017. “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory,” Trump said in July 2019 "I have the best brain" Trump says, over and over again. No brain worm will ever enter his head. I would starve to death...
He just compared immigrants to Cannibals! just like Hannibal Lecter. "silence of the lamb. the press always says ‘why does he ramble about silence-’ silence of the lamb, the late great Hannibal Lecter, he’d like to have you over for dinner. did you ever? don’t do it. if he suggests, I’d like to have you over for dinner, don’t go. but these are the people- these are the people who are coming into our country.” Trump, Virginia speech the day after the debate. 6/29/24 who is the senile one? Imagine Biden said such sick sht?
@@user-ly5qi9zb5t so true! ⚠MEDIA & EVERYONE Pleases SPREAD THE WORD!⚠ We need to continually remind ppl that in an Evangelic Dictatorship they will be stripped of all Social Media, no public Internet, news, music, books, or movies These things ARE NOT ALOWED! Has anyone ever seen or spoken to anyone from N Korea??? EXACTLY!!!! The ppl being Conned have not been told any of this! There will be no Social Media Allow in America anymore
@@user-ly5qi9zb5t It would be hard for most of us to imagine what connections Trump's feeble, dying neurons are making. We are lucky to have Dr. Mary Trump, who interprets many of them for us. 😊 👍 💙
At least, Mr Biden has all His Head while Condon has dimentia, he has a diaper, he is narcissist, fascist etc so why would some Americans vote for him.
Because the democrats have kept you black folks voting for people who don’t give a shit about you and they even told you about it when they did it. The fact that you can’t break the chain due to the obvious lack of benefit they have provided you with just make you a little stupid.
Nightmare? The USMCA saved the American economy from the disaster of Covid. Trump hit the vaccine approved in record time. Inflation was low. Iran was really feeling US/Saudi/ and Israeli pressure. The summit fractured the relationship between China and NK. We pumped out another Nuclear air craft carrier. OPEC was actually working with us. The only issue was the state of democracy. But now the democrats are spiting that they would vote for an urn or toe nail clippings, meaning they don’t care if un elected officials are running the country. That’s inherently a danger to democracy. .
Trump is undeniably unfit for many reasons that don't even touch on cognition. I'm voting for the old man who isn't nuts, even if he falls asleep at his desk during the second term. Biden/Harris 2024 because I haven't lost my GD MIND!

@@jimoharado you perhaps have serious doubts about your guy and feel the need to make yourself feel better about it by coming here? I have confidence in what I believe. I don't need to go find a right wing RU-vid channel and troll.
im not saying trump is a good choice, but theres no way we can let a senile 81 year old man who cant even put together a single coherent sentence be in charge of the most powerful office in the entire world, theres just no way.
Both candidates are elderly. We get it. One is an honorable, decent man that cares about US. The other is a chronic liar, a convicted felon trying to stay out of his rightful home - the big house 🗳
Exactly what needs to be said by the press who seem to forget their job as the Fourth Estate to protect democracy rather than giving free air time to a criminal racist sexist grifter liar con man! How are we even in this situation with this character-less monster??!!
Sure, that’s fine. But people shouting “vote blue!” in every Pakman video don’t matter. It’s the people that are on the edge, and for the former group to sugar coat Biden’s performance is to be in denial.
One big difference between Biden & trump is Biden surrounds himself with knowledgeable, decent law-abiding people to help him while trump only has ignorant yes-men. I don't mind Biden making decisions after a nap. He's done well so far & decides with caring, knowledge & experience
@@personnesenki4521 I think if you checked your sources, you'd find that US growth is reasonably strong, 3.4% in 2023, higher than it was during Trump. Job numbers are also higher than under Trump. Inflation is 3.3% annualised (which is only very slightly above the "normal" 2-3% range) and crime statistics are almost universally way down vs Trump. Even if your laments were accurate, it ignores the fact that the big difference between "back then" and "now" was Covid. There is no magic wand that suddenly reverts the economy back to its pre-covid state (without some pretty substantial policy interventions at least). Trump's policy though is to impose a universal 10% tariff on imports isn't it? That will push up costs for people if anything.
@@personnesenki4521 Trump is the one saying he will start the draft Has to Putin needs more cannon fodder. Oh crime is lowest in 50 yrs. Except for trump.
Look I will vote for Biden simply because his handlers believe in the constitution, I don't care if he's impaired he listens to his advisors his wife has a decent cognitive mind and can guide him, (not the first time that has happened Regan had full blown Alzheimer's while in office) The supreme court made it super easy for me. Vote for Biden and still have a democracy, vote for Trump and don't
The problem here is that with the president "THE BUCK STOPS WITH HIM". If the president is impaired mentally, there is the fear that he can be manipulated into making bad and wrong decisions by his advisors.
@@JoYoon-yo4quWith Trump Project 2025 is a real concern, even if Trump isn't the one they crown king eventually they will have their White, male, Christian nationalist King.

Part of the problem is that Trump has normalized nuttiness. Over the years, we, especially his supporters, have adapted to his mental hiccups, which are astoundingly concerning. Also, let's listen to the experts and people with experience with dementia. Not something to take lightly, speaking as a caregiver.
It's called habituation. It is the most rudimentary form of learning but it appears to be almost physiological we are all subject to it, unfortunately.
Yep : 1,867 licensed medical professionals signed an agreement stating that “From our years of training and experience, we are convinced that Donald Trump is showing unmistakable signs of dementia based on his public behavior and informant reports that show progressive deterioration in memory, thinking, ability to use language, behavior, and both gross and fine motor skills.” The signers agree that: Trump “shows a shocking decline in verbal fluency from his previous baseline.” “People who worked closely with Trump [such as former Trump Aide Republican Alyssa Farah Griffin and more] during his administration are reporting a shocking deterioration in just 4 years.” Trump has repeatedly confused people and generations and the Dementia Care Society says “confusing people and generations” is a sign of advanced dementia. Examples of Trump confusing people, including members of his own family, and generations are provided herein. Over 700 mental health experts submitted a petition to Congress warning of Trump’s declining mental health. The Duty to Warn Coalition is an association of psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals who have concluded that Trump is psychologically unfit to be president and that they have an ethical responsibility to inform the public of the danger he represents.
@@electroluxia Please, please, repeat this wherever you go! We all know it's true. Even the MAGAts know, they just don't care, because they're no smarter than he is. Please repeat it!
I know what Trump means a lot of the time, but not where he gets his idiot idea FROM and thus I never learn anything from him nor do I feel happier having listened to his rambling
Being President is not like working construction here, the President has a team around him, he's taking care of, he's got the best of everything so I'm not to worry about President Biden being able to do the job for another 4 years, what scares the shit of me is Trump winning and turning America into North Korea.
Yes exactly, Biden's expertise and wisdom is worth more than all the riches in the world. If he didn't think he could or didn't want to then he would not have committed to running again. The drama queen democrats know not patience nor devotion.
Cognitive decline doesn't mean physical, it means his mental ability, remember things, making decisions etc.. is not there. This isn't a senior housing (it actually is now), but the people are you is supposed to be like a CEO not caregivers and caretakers
@@JohnLancaster-fh3oc I have. Many times. Yeah, he has a stutter that he works hard to overcome, and it sometimes leads to flubs. Have you heard the felon? Rambles, slurs his words, *makes up words,* forgets words, *forgets who people are* (can't tell Obama from Biden; Pelosi from Hailey; can't remember the name of the doctor who gave him a cognitive test), seems to think fictional characters are real people... and can't tell the truth to save his life.
@@dexterous123 100 times worse, you mean... The felon can't even remember who he's running against, half the time. Slurs words. Forgets words. Freezes. Rambles on about complete nonsense.
I'm so tired of Biden and Trump being held to different standards. Biden IS currently running the country well, but yet people are fearful he won't be able to 6 months from now. While Trump can't even describe what all Biden's done, and repeats his same talking points about the border.
Biden is a trainwreck! His dementia is very dangerous for Americans!!! And TRUMP ran country 1000 times better than this criminal! Everr thing Biden has touched he has destroyed M smarten up.
Trump never had to remember what he wanted to say about policy or facts during the debate. He just keeps spouting whatever comes to mind. Biden on the other hand was actively trying to answer questions during the debate. So, Trump never had to use his brain during the debate.
Did you enjoy the debate and Trump kicking Bidumbs ass Biden tells governors he needs more sleep and will stop scheduling events after 8 pm They have employed additional staff to change his diapers
brianh9358,what brain?? He’s always been held to a lower standard than Biden, but he was not a “career politician “,like Biden is, so he is always going to be dealt the “softball “ questions when he is interviewed.
I'd vote for a tree stump, surrounded by a good team of people, before I'd vote for Trump. Trump will be surrounded by the absolute worst this time. No more Milley, no more Mark Esper, not even a John Bolton in sight. He will be surrounded by people egging him on. Next time when he wants to shoot peaceful protestors or deploy the army against American citizens there will be no more voice of reason, and the corrupt Supreme Court just laid out a path for him to get away with anything and everything. There will be no one telling him to reign in his desire for bribes and quid pro quo favors to personally benefit him from the Saudis or UAE or Russia or anyone else. Tree Stump 2024!
Saying crazy stuff completely detached from reality is a much more concerning cognitive issue than speaking softly, stumbling on words or getting flustered. It's INSANE to think Trump has less severe issues.
President Eisenhower had a number of heart attacks during his administration(s) that the public really didn’t know much about. They especially didn’t know that he was hospitalized for a good percentage of his 2nd term. Do we know that that impacted his efficacy in anyway? The American public also didn’t know about JFK’s poor health, and they very rarely saw FDR in his wheelchair. Do we think that had an effect on either JFK or FDR’s performances as President?
Recently I read Project 2025. I am NOT endorsing it at all, but it kind of broke down the WHO, the different positions that will make up the white house office. These people are delegated most of the tasks that actually run the white house. This is the case under even the healthiest most robust presidents because the job is just too big for one man. They make decisions as proxy for the president himself and have meetings to make sure that it's following along the goals of the president for the country as listed during his/her campaign. When I read this I realized how little of the work is done by the actual president. Obviously yes in a crunch we want our president to be able to step in and make executive decisions. I'm a caregiver for the elderly. More than half are older than Biden. As dementia is a qualifier for our services there is a DX of some kind of dementia in about 80% of the people I am assigned to. What I can say is that in most cases they have more good days than bad and they delegate tasks to me. Most of them make their own shopping lists, they send me to pay the bills after they have written their own checks, balanced their own checkbooks, and ask me to call ride services to schedule rides for their doc appointments which they scheduled. Sometimes I or a family member have to do more to help them do these things but in more cases than not they're able to do more for themselves than one would expect. They couldn't handle the schedule Biden is. So even if he is having some cognitive decline I feel pretty confident that for the most part it'll still be business as usual in the White House.
@@fankrys Why not? The point is that we have always had Presidents with health issues, that didn’t hamper their abilities to lead the nation. Actually, Trump was the first candidate elected in modern times, who didn’t produce any valid health records. Not to mention that he withheld all of his financial records too. He still didn’t have the intellectual capacity to make Presidential decisions. President Biden has already proven that he is far more capable, not just in relation to Trump, but better than other modern presidents too.
I'm Aussie so I would never presume to tell 'foreigner's' on who they should vote for in their countries elections. But I do see a glaring difference between the two parties on offer in your country, regardless of who leads them. From the outside its not a Trump or Biden thing. One party and it's members are standing for the continuation of your democracy, the other is well on the way to dismantling it. You folks have a clear choice in this election, you are not just choosing a government to steer your country through the framework set by democracy and your constitution. You are choosing between democracy or theocratic authoritarianism.
I would have acted confused by the inaction by CNN monitors NOT CALLING OUT TRUMPS LIES. Until every qualified journalist admits trump’s lies nothing changes.
Did you enjoy the debate and Trump kicking Bidumbs ass Biden tells governors he needs more sleep and will stop scheduling events after 8 pm They have employed additional staff to change his diapers
Biden is the opponent. He should have done this. But if you think the moderators should have been more involved this would then mean Biden would have also been fact checked.
I would vote for a literal empty Oval Office for the next 4 years over trump. I would vote for Biden’s cold corpse over trump. People are not grasping the stakes of this choice on any meaningful level.
It's sad that Biden at 81 is slammed about age when clint Eastwood was still acting and directing at this age. I'm sure he would have been against anyone asking him to step down. He has done some of his best work in his twilight years
Choosing between Biden and Donnie is an easy choice. Donnie has no concrete policy solutions to the challenges that the nation faces. Donnie's competency in executing the duties of the Presidency is severely suspect, and in a potential second Trump administration there will be no 'adults in the room' to constrain him ( not to mention Donnie's grave ignorance of the limits of presidential authority ). The Project 2025 plan put forth by the Heritage Foundation - assembled by many former Trump administration zealots - is also extremely disturbing as it asserts a mutation of our republic into something unrecognizable, putting our system of checks and balances at grave risk. I'm voting for the Democrat candidate for President in November, whether it's Biden or not.
@@nicolasolton : there is only one terrible candidate, and that is Trump ( although Kennedy is also very bad ). Is Biden imperfect and flawed? Of course he is, but he is many orders of magnitude better than Donnie will ever be. As we've seen Donnie is just out for himself and has no skill in building consensus or negotiating over policy. Donnie will gladly sell out Ukraine to the Putin regime because he is such a fanboy of Vlad ( and Vlad knows it ). Even back in 2011 political observers were seeing how corrosive the Republican Party had become : "The Republican Party has become an insurgent outlier - ideologically extreme ; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime ; scornful of compromise ; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science ; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. When one party moves this far from the center of American politics, it is extremely difficult to enact policies responsive to the country's most pressing challenges." -- from "It's Even Worse Than It Looks" ( 2012 ) by Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein
HE doesn't ride bikes. That was a PR stunt to attempt to make him look younger and still youthful...it failed miserably, and he fell off the bike. He's never been seen on 1 again...
Actually Biden does like to ride his bike to stay fit. Trump just plays golf and cheats, it's in a book written by an authority of golf. You should read it 😊
Does it really seem to you that he's getting a lot out of it? Really? Dem prosecutors trying to put him in jail, bankrupt him, run his businesses out of New York. Yeah, who does't want all that?
In Trump's case it is just as much a question of a complex set of personality disorders. He should be more accustomed to the nut house rather than the White House.
Well he created and passed a trade deal that saved our economy from Covid, and got the vaccine through and approved in record time (remember it came out two weeks after he got out of office.)
@@EternalTrick I was given the choice between Marianne Williamson, Dean Philips, uncommitted, and Joe Biden. Uncommitted came in second place. Given those choices I think Biden has the best chance to win the general. The Democratic Party needs better candidates so we don't have to vote for a man with cognitive decline and the decent cabinet. Not sure if a Governor can take over so late and get the recognition needed to beat Trump.
@@fabianurweider805 Because people don't vote. Like why was the polling say 70% of democrats don't want Joe Biden? Seems like none of those people cared to show up to the polls, but they care enough to make a protest vote in November now they are stuck with a senile 81 year old who supports Genocide.
I've been googling "trump dementia" and "trump cognitive" for several months, in the hopes that they will alter the algorithms and become top autofill suggestions.
Oh I love it. There's a whole drop down of top searches every time we open a browser. If some of these were recommendations more people would be likely to click on them and see these conversations. 👏 Bravo!
Liz, they are finally, finally doing so, after David had guests to explain it for _ages._ We are so glad to hear from our friends overseas. Your support means a lot.
Biden clarified "he didn't do good in the debate but orange man bad so come on man, let's beat him. I'm in bed my 8 pm." So Biden not an old geezer creeping into the grave after all, it was just a bad night as long as we get better as we get older
Ok, possibly, we have two candidates that are "limited". It's kind of old news. They're both old. OK. Which one of those two supports true democracy? Which one supports Dictators? Which one are the racists voting for?
Great point. Also, recently I read Project 2025. I am NOT endorsing it at all, but it gave a comprehensive breakdown of the WHO (not the band though that would have been more interesting). It was explaining the different positions that will make up the white house office. These people are delegated most of the tasks that actually run the white house. This is the case under even the younger most vibrant presidents because the job is too big for one person.

@@arachosia Please, what's your version of fixing the economy? You looking for a miracle? You looking to fix "capitalism" and inflation brought on by those with the money vs. those that don't? You still need to make a choice for democracy.
Hey David, I’d like it if you followed up with one thing Eric from Denmark stated. You kinda touched on differences between Trump and Biden when it comes to support for our allies or lack thereof. Trump is not only the opposite of President Biden on this issue…he’s far from any president in history, Democratic or Republican. I think that point needs to be driven home. Sure they’ve all had policy differences that can be dramatic at times. But they never entailed bailing on our allies and compromising national security!
I still believe the rearranging President Biden’s to help him with all the traveling he’s been doing lately & not having with his cognitive decline. So why doesn’t everyone stop talking about it! So sick of it.
I work in Social Services with elder care and the care of people with mental health issues. Based on assessments I do continuously to ensure people living in facilities receive proper care I see the following: Biden seems to be having mild cognitive decline, and if it is true that he was sick on debate night, he really should have asked to reschedule the debate. Trump has some type of mental health/personality disorder- people with these illnesses can be VERY coherent at times, then the brain fails and they start saying strange things. That’s what I see in Trump. He may have bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder on top of his narcissist problem. One is having cognitive decline (Biden) and the other is mentally ill. Which do you prefer? 🧐
He said that Biden has staff who manage his schedule so that he does things during certain times of the day. That makes total sense. At 56 years old, I don’t really like to do anything important business-wise after 6:00 or so. I am tired, and my brain is tired. I don’t think that is a problem at all.
Good show. Question - why is it, do you think, that no one is covering the jabs that Biden *did* land during the debate? Specifically, I remember "Something snapped in you when you lost the last one," which I think was very direct.
Listen, Pres. Biden is the leader of the party. If you've trusted his judgement so far, also believe in his leadership. And I know he has tough decisions to make; let's give him the space and privacy to do so- he has earned that! Anyone on our side is miles better than the alternative on the other side. We vote for whoever is in the blue column!
@@jefff7287 I literally didn't suggest that, but that's OK - your original comment talking of "us" and "we" actually misled me into thinking you were part of something larger than yourself, but it's now become apparent you don't walk the talk. Carry on!
Vote Trump and throw Ukraine to the wolves, ultimately the fundamental stability of Europe will be undermined. Your Danish caller is right, there's genuine fear in Europeans who are actually paying attention.
Democrats are relatively consistent, but the last two Republican presidents have been extremely controversial in most of the countries of the world, including most of our allies. There used to be a relative bipartisan consensus on foreign policy, but now a lot of Republican politicians have politicized it. We have 450 million guns and a sizable percentage of people believe that any sort of minor barriers to buying them is one step short of totalitarianism. Large numbers of our population refuse to believe in human-induced climate change. We lead the way in crafting international treaties and then refuse to ratify them ourselves. We are quite strange, in my opinion.
The critic didn’t listen to the criticisms of the cognitive differences. The experts compared the two. You should have hung up on the caller and had them go back and listen.
I wanted Bernie, didn't get him. I was good with Hillary...first woman president, didn't get her. Thought Biden was to old in 2020 but have given him my total support. If they dump him now it will be a real stupid mistake and I've had it with them.
@@nicolasolton He's an Historical analyst who uses 13 data keys to predict the election, he's not some mambo jambo BS artist. Anyway he hasn't yet made a prediction but has interesting analysis.
He needs 'experts' to tell you you're not seeing what you're ACTUALLY seeing. Just like the 'experts' that tell you men can get pregnant. LIES that are so UNbelievable, that stupid/cult followers ACTUALLY believe them.
I heard Biden was observed running a marathon backwards while juggling twenty pound bricks and solving sudoku puzzles with one hand tied behind his back
@@CC-yj8vphe spent an entire year smuggly dismissing any questioning of Biden's cognitive decline. It took the debate to force him to actually acknowledge people had legitimate concerns.
The world has plenty of videos with young people freezing on stage. Anyone who debates at any age can freeze, etc. My opinion of his side looks away from camera were of him staring and reacting to horror while looking into a nightmare abyss where we are all going to hell. I had a similar expression.
From Germany: I fear a Trump presidency will be far worse than "4 years of a bad president". The consequences for handing the Ukraine to Russia are catastrophic - Nato without America is simply an empty shell. I agree completely with the caller from Denmark. I too am extremely worried both for my family in America and for us in Europe. Trump thrives on chaos and destruction. The Federalistic Society and Heritage Foundation have worked for decades to bring about this distopian change of the country. Has nobody noticed this before? Biden has to step down. He cannot beat Trump. The sooner, the better. A young, capable, erudite, dynamic opponent could beat Trump - or at least have a better chance than Biden. Trump will never leave, once in power.
