He was being attacked by Stephanopoulus. Trump uses a teleprompter all the time.

I watched it. Stephanapolous did not attack him. He asked pointed, probing questions which is what a journalist is supposed to do. And the president, sadly, was not able to answer straightforward questions. And during the debate, Trump did not use a teleprompter. So that doesn’t matter.

No, he did not. He asked the President 16 ways to Sunday if he had, is, or will take a mental competency test. It’s insulting that he would ask that once, but numerous times?

And why is no one asking TFG the same question? The man is clearly in the grip of dementia. Have you heard his speeches? Seen him give one of his speeches? They make zero sense and have no context or connection to reality.

Snakes, sharks, electric boats with batteries—the mind boggles.

But it’s Joe Biden’s mental acuity everyone is focused on. Yeah, right.

Trump is capable of communicating his BS just fine. We all need to demand that Trump gets a psychiatric evaluation. A cognitive test would be fine, too, but the psych eval is by far the higher priority.

Or just put him in jail already.

The president has a large slice of the public—a majority—who are concerned about his mental competency. Taking a mental competency or health evaluation would be a big help if it went well. It is a legitimate question that the president did not answer. After the debate, 74% of people polled said that they believe the president is too old to do the job. We and the president ignore that at our peril.

Trump wouldn't know how to use a teleprompter.
