All the questions the Trumpers have been demanding of Biden have always applied to Trump too. It’s just that previously they could reasonably be directed at the man who looks much more physically frail. Now, though, they apply uniquely to Trump, and Trump can’t hide behind the thin excuse of being younger and fitter than the other guy. He might (just) be able to string a sentence together now, but what about late 2025? What about 2028, when he’ll be turning 82 (assuming he lives that long)?

I appreciate it no longer matters for the purposes of the election but I was responding to a comment that make a clearly incorrect statement.
I do think if you are of the opinion that Trump is noticeably in decline and genuinely believe he can “(just) string a sentence together” you are seeing what you want to see. He’s been giving unhinged press conferences and rallies since he ran the first time.
Democrats are walking a tightrope - they can’t say “ah but in 4 years he could be just as bad as Biden” while not invoking the 25th Amendment. It raises more questions about how long the President has been in decline, who has been covering for him and ultimately
who is running the country?
Had Biden not been found out at the debate who would have been running the country for the next 4 years had he won?
