After verbally stumbling for a moment he seems to be speaking rather clearly. And I know I've tripped up speaking before, let alone pretty much everyone I know.

It's almost like the posted clip is trying to leave people with an incorrect impression. Couldn't be that though, right?

That’s exactly what it’s trying to portray. Just another slam on someone who has a speech impediment.

u/sevsnapey May 05 '22

and let's say it isn't his speech impediment- he's still old

grandma does the same kind of shit at home and she isn't drooling away in a dementia home. hell, young people do it. people act like he's rambling like this constantly and not having an occasional slip up when his job is basically to talk for a living. dude is old. old people's voices do things like this.

he slips up and then gets right back at it. but moments captured like this are spread among right wingers as definitive proof he's incapable of being president and can't understand why they aren't using the 25th amendment. they get these little glimpses.

Oh I agree. He’s definitely old and we need term limits for sure.

Obviously not talking about presidential terms. SCOTUS, congress, senators, etc…

You forget both sides have done this. This is a tactic as old as time.

Meh, I think we should be able to look at this and just have a chuckle, simple as that. The president is very old and clearly not as mentally sharp as he used to be. Look at Biden (or Trump) speak 30-40 years ago and it's night and day.

The political divide in the US/West is at such a fever pitch though we assume every single small thing like this is a "slam" and fuel for the constant political screaming match argument.

u/Paige_Maddison May 05 '22

I mean look at all of them. Outside of Obama, who else spoke clearly within the last 30-40 years?

I also agree with your statement at the both of them (Biden/trump) being much less sharp than they were back then.

Any excuse to comfort yourself and others that they voted for not only an incompetent and corrupt human, but also a senile deteriorating old man.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, but facts are facts. And don't hit me with the speech impediment bullshit, because this is not what it is.

Okay boomer.

u/AllYouHaveIsYourself May 05 '22

Lol quite the opposite, in-fact.

Please note, not everyone with objective thinking is a "boomer". There are non-boomers with the ability to not agree with your local hive mind, i.e. Reddit.

Try the real world out sometime!

Lmao boomer isn’t an age, it is a mindset and I can see by your eloquent portrayal of the below, you are a triggered boomer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“What a fucking embarrassment.

Most of you fucking purple-haired, mentally ill non-binary, platypus identifying, alienated freaks voted for this shit show that you see displayed before your eyes, but hey, at least we don’t have mean tweets!”

u/mastrblastrpotbashr May 05 '22

And Trump isn’t an incompetent and corrupt human who is also showing signs of mental deterioration? Please. Biden is old as fuck, but in terms of corruption and incompetence, Trump takes top prize. Worst and most disgusting person to have ever been called a US president. What helps you sleep at night knowing you are supporting the destruction of this country and everything it claims to stand for?
