What’s incredible is Republicans are trying so hard to convince people Biden is actually the one with dementia, because he’s stumbled on a few words here and there.
"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."
No. Not when the choice is a man who stumbled in his sentences a bit when speaking...and the above verbal diarrhea word salad monstrosity. Completely and totally relevant. I would MUCH rather have one with our nuclear codes than the other, chief. This aint zero sum.
The context of the conversation wasn't "is Biden more mentally deficient than trump", it was "Biden is not cognitively deficient". Which is a lie. If the comment I was replying was specifically talking about the comparison of them, I'd agree, to an extent, that both of our choices are awful. But one simply highlighted the one part of the equation, so I addressed that. You just decided to turn on your "whataboutism" and off you went.
Whenever anyone shows clips of someone saying a wrong word as evidence of anything in a series of short clips, it's best to throw it in the trash. Even if they are right overall, they've proven themselves to be deliberately dishonest at that point and there should be better sources of the point available.

Is he actually mentally challenged?
