Whereas it is not looking good for Biden’s cognitive functions, Trump has also made plenty of gaffs relating to names, places etc

America’s political stuff is there to deal with but I’m of the firm view that it is *essential* to keep Trump out of the White House. I think Harris would be the popular vote especially because of how it would drive the right wingers bananas to have a black woman as their president.

In terms of “who’s in charge”, well obviously it’s the incumbent President. However, who actually makes the decisions? I’ve always believed it to be the leader’s advisors. This would especially have been the case with Trump who was (and still is) too thick to run a country on his own merit. And yes in the interests of balance I also think Obama’s advisors made the big decisions during his terms.
