President Donald Trump suggested Sunday that presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has lost his mental acuity, saying he doesnt know hes alive.
Biden doesnt know, I mean, he doesnt know hes alive, Trump told Washington, D.C. ABC News affiliate WJLA. Im against somebody. Think of it. Im against somebody that cant answer simple questions. Ive never seen anything like it, but heres what I am against. Im against a very powerful party, the Democrats, and they can take this glass of water and say thats your candidate.

Trump also refused to say if Biden possessed any of the qualities necessary to lead the nation. The president would not even allow that Biden, who has spent most of his adult life in high political office, has much in the way of valuable experience.

Well, I would have said experience, but he doesnt really have experience because I dont think he remembers what he did yesterday, Trump said. So how is that experience? Hes been there a long time. He was never known as a smart person.
When asked if Trump could pick one good thing to say about his opponent, the president replied, Ah and provided no further details.
The president had difficulty deciding what to select as Bidens weakest fault. I cant tell you, Trump said. I mean, Im really serious. Hes got many. I can talk about weak points all day long.
Trump also criticized Biden for his foreign policy positions on China and Russia but said regardless of where he stands on the issues, the former vice president is not mentally sharp enough to be president.

Biden has already said that he will be a one-term president if he is elected and subsequently feels that he loses energy and mental acuity.
Juan Williams, Fox News co-host of The Five, recently said too much attention is paid to Bidens gaffes and not enough to Trumps verbal miscues. I dont think it was Biden who said oh, yeah, George Washington captured the airports during The Revolutionary War. I think that was Donald Trump, he said.
Biden has accused the president of being slow and indecisive when the coronavirus hit the United States, saying that he froze like a deer in the headlights, Fox News noted.
Fixed. Don't know why, but it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me...
Agreed, but giving Trump the benefit here, due to his opposition to WHO.
It’s why three card Monte dealers love democrats.
I seriously doubt that they bother to teach grammar and diagramming sentences in grade school anymore.
The up and coming generation ‘knows words’, but they have no idea why those words are used.
A friend of mine, who is 40 years old says... “Well... like... like....I mean....uh... like... uh... uh... you know that thing that happened yesterday... it was like... like... you know what I mean.”
The Black Culture, and rebellious teenagers of all races have developed a knock-off of English. They do it so other people who aren’t ‘black’ or aren’t ‘hip’ (can I even use that word these days?) won’t be able to tell what they were talking about.
They don’t get it that the reason for the rules of grammar are so that we all understand each other.
When my Dad wanted to use the subtle approach to deal with the way others speak and think, he would say this......
It’s exactly the same, but different.
Most people have no reaction. Mostly because of a lack of skills.
Those who laughed or questioned his use of the phrase were people who had a good education and a brain.
Our society has slowly been headed towards IDIOCRACY.
My son and many others is age don’t even know how to change the oil on their car, and many don’t even know how to check the oil.
I love it. Trump vs. Biden. Not boring. Trump will take Biden to the cleaners.
Worth the price of admission.
Top one for me is “I could care less...”
But everyone uses it so it’s hopeless to expect the correct version.
When did Biden decide that campaigning against Trump is non-essential? Did Bidens Governor threaten to arrest him?
Trump is too kind: Democrats can take this glass of water, aka POS
And then Joan Rivers quite seriously saying Michael was trans and then right after Joan dies during a “routine throat examination that stopped her breathing”. What the hell is that? She had a sore throat and wanted the doctor to look at it, so how does that lead to her not only not breathing, but not breathing long enough to give her severe brain damage?? Remember this happened in a DOCTORS OFFICE in NYC on Park avenue, one of the most exclusive medical facilities going! I really think these elites in Washington literally get away with anything they want including murder.
Poor democrats! What are they gonna do now? If they report on this, the people will realize that it’s true! If they don’t report on it, they miss an opportunity to tell everyone how mean Trump is.
LOL! Mondale and Dukakis look like political titans compared to Biden. After all, he is really a contemporary of theirs - his time to seek the Presidency passed by two decades ago.
It isn't that the Democrats don't have any better candidates, it's that the Democrats don't have better any candidates who can at least potentially appeal to every single squabbling faction they need to keep on board.
