Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
simple1 replied to simple1's topic in Political Soapbox
Media is going on and on about Biden, nearly 24 hours a day without any medical proof. Why not trump based upon the above example? -
Trump continued: “So I said, ‘Let me ask you a question,’ and [the South Carolinian] said, ‘Nobody ever asked this question,’ and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT — very smart. He goes, I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’ By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks? I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, ‘So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?’ Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.’ I said, ‘I think it’s a good question.’ I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that.” I ask you: Is this the speech of a rational human being? Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? | Opinion (msn.com)

Nonsense There are a number of current day definitions of 'far right' e.g. Far-right politics, or right-wing extremism, is a spectrum of political thought that tends to be radically conservative, ultra-nationalist, and authoritarian, often also including nativist tendencies.[1] The name derives from the left–right political spectrum, with the "far right" considered further from center than the standard political right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics

I have a suspicion you didn't read the link as it clarifies he lost revenue due to his own actions. What you failed to mention the millions he has scammed from his base begging for money to cover his legal costs, even though he is a multi billionaire - remember he original claimed he would cover his own costs for presidency which, as usual, was an outright lie, a lie covered in detail by the media.

Go ahead, though I am unaware of any proven corruption / criminal acts against Joe Biden, as is the case with trump. Additionally, let's not forget trump has also settled Out Of Court on a number of occasions. Plus numerous trump associates being convicted of various offences, which to my mind questions trump's judgement of ethics and character. I suggest overall Republicans are more corrupt than the Democrats in today's political environment with the continuing BS regards 2020, gerrymandering etc, etc, etc

The author is credible with a distinguished career, including two best selling books. The member I responded too only posted an opinion with zero backup. JOE CONASON is an American journalist and commentator. He is editor-in-chief of The National Memo, a daily political newsletter, and a senior fellow at Type Media Center. His articles have appeared in many publications around the world, including The New Republic, The Nation, The Guardian, Salon, and The American Prospect. He was executive editor of The New York Observer and a staff writer at The Village Voice. Two of his previous books, The Hunting of the President and Big Lies, were New York Times bestsellers.

‘ “Trump is the apotheosis of this moral degeneration of conservatism because he’s out there stealing with both hands and it’s right in your face.” So said Joe Conason, veteran reporter and author of a lacerating new book, The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism. ‘Stealing with both hands’: veteran reporter Joe Conason details the right wing’s graft (msn.com) PS: If you wish to respond and try to refute, note forum rules require a credible link to back up your claims.

Highlighted comment in your post is sufficient; atypical MAGA comment. -

As I thought, dismissal of reporting, atypical. However, IMO White Supremist and White Nationalist are two birds from the same song book e.g. Charlottesville (unite the right) demonstrations. Stephen Miller's policy is the quintessence of the two parallel ideologies which trump plans to enact within Project 2025. I'm sure you are well aware and support this content. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unite_the_Right_rally https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffraikes/2024/07/01/project-2025-is-a-blueprint-for-business-disaster/ -

Under international law, but some countries e.g. Australia have made it illegal under domestic law. Interestingly they have not made it official by resigning from the UN Convention of Refugees in order they can still claim to be "good guys" -

trump's senior adviser on immigration policy, Stephen Miller, is a known White Supremist. Accordingly this underlines trump's true nature. However, it is highly unlikely trump can apply most of the policies in the OP e.g. forced returns as that would require government to government agreement, though it is possible trump could invest billions in bribes to try and get his way. I guess US voters must be comfortable having a White Supremist President, alongside some of his other truly stupid ideas such as 10% tariff on all imports, plus 60% on Chinese imports. -
