    The media should be shouting from the rooftops about his obvious dementia. But instead they just try to gloss over it as much as they can.

        Maybe if we parse several of his speeches togeather and factor in all quantium gravity fields of the solar system, this might be the biggest and best speech ever.

    If it wasn’t for dementia don, we might never have known how many dementia sufferers there are in the states who continue to go without adequate treatment.

      The lack of punctuation makes it probably worse. I’m guessing he kept stopping his train of thought before jumping over to the next.

        “But I then made a speech and it was a speech about the rocket and I devoted 25 percent of the speech probably to what happened or more to what happened with respect to George George Floyd and it was and then you listen to this he doesn’t talk about George Floyd the rocket went off I then I made a speech and I talked about George Floyd but they said he didn’t talk about George Floyd.” - Donald Trump

        And the other post with punctuation…

        “But we cannot let this … we’ve never allowed any crisis from a Civil War, straight through to a pandemic in ‘17, all the way around – in ’16 – we have never, never let our democracy take second fiddle, we can both have a democracy and elections and at the same time protect the public health.” - Joe Biden

        Yeah, removing all the punctuation certainly makes it much worse.

      It’s downvoted because Biden is honest about his problems with his speech impediment. There’s no “haha gotcha” to be had from making fun of a person who openly has a disability. If the president were someone in a wheelchair, would you make fun of them for not being able to walk?

      Trump is a valid target for mockery because he refuses to admit he has a problem, and he’s built his brand off mocking marginalised people including the disabled. This is picking on a bully. Also Trump doesn’t have a speech impediment, he has a thought impediment, and thought is actually necessary for a president, which is what he’s trying to be. Biden already stepped down from the race.

      Everyone will clap if you make fun of a bully who’s trying to regain the power he can use to bully more people. Not many people will clap when you make fun of a person who identifies as disabled and already plans to quit his job due to it.

    transcript (tesseract + modifications):

    PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THE BRIAN KILMEADE SHOW

    TRUMP: But I then made a speech and it was
    a speech about the rocket, and I devoted 25
    percent of the speech probably to what happened
    – or more – to what happened with respect to
    George – George Floyd, and it was – and then
    you listen to this, he doesn’t talk about George
    Floyd. The rocket went off, I then I made a
    speech, and I talked about George Floyd, but they
    said he didn’t talk about George Floyd.
