On Saturday, during a campaign speech in Durham, New Hampshire, Donald Trump invoked Vladimir Putin (of all people) as proof that he's being persecuted: "Putin says that Biden's—and this is a quote—politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia, because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy."
Some commentators see this and other Trump assertions about being persecuted as calculated efforts to fuel his base. But what if Trump really thinks he's being persecuted? What if he has a persecution complex? What if he believes his paranoid fantasies?
Trump is not facing nearly the same scrutiny for his age as is Joe Biden, yet Trump should be—especially as to increasing signs of dementia.
Biden is sane. He's getting major bills passed. He's negotiating with world leaders.
But Trump, who has a family history of dementia, is increasingly incoherent and unhinged.
He has confused Biden with Obama so often that he's had to put out a statement that the slips have been intentional. In September, Trump suggested that the way to prevent wildfires in California's forest lands is to keep them damp. Here are his exact words: "They say that there's so much water up north that I want to have the overflow areas go into your forests and dampen your forests, because if you dampen your forests you're not gonna have these forest fires that are burning at levels that nobody's ever seen."
Hello?
He also said that under his administration, shoplifters would be subject to extrajudicial execution: "We will immediately stop all the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store."

Let’s talk about the POLICIES.
He writes a long article, but still comes up short..................
Didn’t DJT just pass a mental acuity test with flying colors? On brandons birthday IIRC.
Let’s talk about Robert Reich’s ideologically induced insanity. . . .
Bob “5th” Reich isn’t exactly an unbiased author...
Yes......................
If Biden were the one being hauled into courts all across the Eastern seaboard, his lawyers would be questioning his competency to stand for trial.
Correctomundo!................
It is always entertaining to hear what the “Little Man” has to say.
He writes a long article, but still comes up short..
Rotfl!
How Alinsky.....Predictable if nothing else. Transference.
He’s so full of hate it stunted his growth...................
Biden has the lowest presidential approval ratings since the statistic has been compiled. And his ratings now are the lowest they’ve been during his tenure. Thus, Biden is the least popular president right now since they’ve been measuring it. No one comes close. Reich is cheer leading for a steaming turd.
That’s because anyone with a brain knows Obama is running Biden, you Newsweek idiots.
Biden can’t even read the script his handlers wrote for him
Trump has no handlers, and basically he’s right.
(Snicker, snicker)
“He also said that under his administration, shoplifters would be subject to extrajudicial execution: “We will immediately stop all the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store.””
That would work. Back in the seventies, a very big liquor store had problems with smash and grab thefts. Built a walkaround above the sales floor. Put employees with shotguns on the walkaround. Shot a couple of theives. Thefts stopped.
