We care. The corporate pinheads calling themselves, "journalists," must find fascism either enticing or good for ratings. But they'll learn the hard way it's bad business. Either way, we are watching the death throes of corporate media as no one's buying the bullcrap from the boardroom anymore.
"caught Joe Biden's cognitive decline"? While Biden has certainly slowed down, he's been sharper than Trump for years. Has always been more intelligent.
Can someone with “cognitive decline” do this? Biden is old, no doubt. But he ran a competent, intelligent, ethical administration. The most transformative presidency of my lifetime. And I’m old. 🤣
The news men and women that ask questions to President Trump are all cowards -they never fact check or ask him to clarify his ramblings!
He's still telling the crazy water story. Oy.
He literally thinks that Southern California is DOWNHILL from Central California. And he somehow thinks that water from some magical spigot in Central CA flowed down into Los Angeles and put out the fires. It's astounding.
🤪😡
Psychologists and neurologists have been warning of trump's cognitive decline/dementia for some time now, but most people aren't listening probably bc the msm refuses to address the issue. @ourshallowstate.bsky.social @duty2warn @bandylee.bsky.social
Biden can still run rings around Shitler cognitively ‼️
Stephen Miller is president
"Caught" is an odd choice. Trump's cognitive decline has been clear for several years, and the acceleration is now impossible to hide. The media will have to account for their collusion eventually, better to fess up sooner rather than later.
And another one who apparently cannot recognise sarcasm. This seems to be catching.
Trump is afraid of his own shadow.
Please someone tell me what it’s going to take to have the Supreme Court’s decision last year to give the executive ultimate power, and cannot be held criminal for any actions done under the name of the president. The Supreme Court did this to us. How can we overthrow that decision??
Call Jake Tapper! He can write a book about this in real time.
Poorly framed: “caught [Biden’s] decline.” Trump has been declining for years, and dementia isn’t something you catch. Who wrote this? Chris Cillizza?
Great show last night.
Yep, I'm afraid we're done as a country. There's only one way back now and I don't think the American people have the guts for it. We will look like Hungary in 2 years.
Yet, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin, and he gets to freely come to Alaska. The Alaska Gov could look like a hero to have Putin & his security team and advisors, arrested. It would be a start to getting Trump back to earth a bit too. www.icc-cpi.int/news/situati...
With Trump, his cognitive decline is more dangerous cause he rambles incoherently & nonsensical & the incompetent sycophants, to please him, take that as some sort of direction.
I love how we're still hopeful this Putin meeting will achieve something, as if 7 straight months of continual failure meant nothing Would we afford Biden this long of a rope?
Who's "we"?
Are you saying my Trump-gibberish-wtf-are-trying-to-say-decoder-ring is useless just after it arrived??
Dementia Don. Totally Gone.
* Trump’s Revenge Tour is fueled by his own lies, his lies that fueled the Jan. 6th insurrection, his lies about Russia not interfering in 2016 election. A vengeful old man full of “toxic emotions” fueled for retribution. Holding on to anger, like drinking poison & expecting the “Other” to die.
Why hasn’t everyone figured out out that Trump is a traitor and republicans are letting him destroy America not he has America soldiers against Americas get rid of Trump clean out the White House before it’s to late
Neener neener, Schiff's about to be a roasted weiner! 😅

In my opinion the failure of the media to cover Donald Trump's mental fitness is the scandal of this century.
Probably something in the resolute desk, maybe the stain
Joe Biden on a bad day was better than the FELON could ever be There’s no comparison
Time to take the car keys away! We’re heading for a ditch.
There are always cover up for crimes. But the cover up of Child RAPISTS “Orange Slop” by a whole party is appalling! Victims seeing this shit show must be shocking! Some can’t fight anymore they’re dead! He’s a vile sickest human can be! He sees no problem rapping children! He should be in for life
He's been failing mentally for a long time. Time for the 25th Amendment.
My opinion is that since literally nothing's been done to stop Trump's lies, rantings & ravings, that people are feeling apathetic again: "Why should I care when it's obvious no one else does, especially our elected officials?" I don't know if I'm way off base, (1 of 3...)
(2 of 3...) but people aren't pissed off enough. Rallies are no longer held because it didn't do any good, didn't make a difference. No one at his media events will confront & challenge him. And, as stated above, our elected officials just lament about (2 of 3...)
(3 of 3) Trump but haven't made a concerted effort, IMO, to end his reign. Something has to be done with him, his VP, his entire staff & cabinet, & the Speaker of the House. How to accomplish that? I have no idea, but someone out there who's smarter than me probably has a solution. This has to end.
Absolute word salad 😵💫
Trusting the Obese Orange Ogre to navigate the economy is like trusting Stockton Rush to pilot you to see the Titanic.
It's time to vote on who's going to take Daddy's car keys...
He's just following instructions from Russell Voght and Stephen Miller and the other psychos in The Heritage Foundation.
Don't forget Putin
Years of gaslighting are having their intended effects on Americans. Their minds seem overwhelmed by it all, as if they can't process all the lies, absurd behaviors and alternate realities coming from a White House that was once the home of rational, ethical adults.
No one cares about him or what he thinks even in the Rep Party. He is simply seen as a pathway for a whole bunch of people with anti-democratic agendas to try and get those agendas enacted while they can. This has been a wet dream for them for decades, and they’re gonna hold on with a death grip!
Heather Cox Richardson is way on top of this. Rubber room soon for Donald.
But if you have sent before you can spot it again.
But they are still doing his demented bidding!
Stop trying to figure him out. He is fucking insane with micro seconds of lucidity. Goddamn it! The man is a looney tune!

@maddow.msnbc.com What are your sources tell about puppeteer Thiel plotting the upcoming takeover with Murdoch (and others?) like a communist party politburo needs to take the general secretary of the party out of the equation because it not sustainable anymore? Messiah effect poof 💨 …
But we do care about Trumps actions.What can we do? Republicans are so anxious to hold their seat that they close their eyes to the horror that is being perpetrated upon their constituents. We need the media to shout about this and the Dems to go to court to stop the madness.
If only Mitch had not protected him after impeachment.
There are so many frustrating and flustering things about the past decade, but one of those things is how none of this is news. Stories like this get coverage in the media, and somewhere between a third to half the country can only say "Yeah, we know. How did you not?"
Or elected leaders choose to remain silent, and to go along with whatever Caligula wants.
I believe the msm is running scared, fearing a lawsuit for anything remotely questionable in their reporting. Although John Oliver and South Park provide stinging and much needed pushback against this atrocity of an administration, msm have to call out each and every lie coming out of taco’s mouth.
They will keep him there as long as possible, his family and the people in his administration need to keep the revenue streams moving in their direction.
From the latest YouGov poll... just brutal numbers. And showing that Americans don't really care about "crime".
Biden was never a blathering idiot.
You can listen to or read full transcripts of Trumps word salad here: rollcall.com/factbase/tru...
I guess that could go in either direction. Maybe his policies won't be quite so "dangerous" but on the other hand, it may be worse. Probably the best thing to do at this point is to invoke the 25th Amendment and not take a chance. But Vance and the rest of the administration are just as incompetent.
Please don’t compare Biden to the non compos mentis that’s desecrating the presidency. Biden is better on his worst day than fotus ever has been.
Some things that demonstrate he's continuing to decline. Besides the memory changes, not knowing names, and obvious word finding problems, he's now having problems reading the prompters. His language skills often evidence what we call "word salad". When will they pull him from public view?
Who can initiate the 25th Amendment?
I’ve been hearing that Trump is on the way out since inauguration day 2017. I’ll celebrate when it happens, but it’s frustrating to keep reading about it.
Trump does have feelings..he gets off on inflicting pain, especially on those he sees as unable to defend themselves.
It is incredibly sad to witness a once great country become so diminished so quickly - no longer the land of the free but hopefully still the home of the brave 😔
Heavily medicated, too. Meds to wake up. Meds to sleep. Meds for weight loss. Meds for heart. Meds for brain. It shows.
Yep. I've said it myself about Trump a couple of dozen times. He's well past the mark.
And yet @jaketapper.bsky.social continues to be completely silent on this. Because, of course, the really big story is *Biden's" cognitive decline, LOL.
My decision about “grandpa’s” future would not be that hard! Out to pasture!
you are mentally and medically impaired 😨
If Trump wants to reduce crime he should resign since he has clearly been on a six month crime spree. Any individual with half a brain knew a convicted felon and sex offender would use the presidency to rob and rape America.
I've never believed Trump was the actual president. Trump is the man charge of sweet fuck all.
should not a competent VP know what to do...oh wait its JD Vance!
And he’s on vacation 🤢
Let’s please stop this “sleepy Joe” and cognitive decline stuff- did Joe Biden ever start walking on the roof of the White House shouting at people or call Alaska- Russia- several times? There is no comparison between the two
When is one of those cowards in the White House Press Corps going to defend their own honor by standing up and refusing to sit silent while bathing in Trump's lies. Quitting, or walking out, or a raised voice refusal to accept proven falsehoods should be the minimum acceptable response.
When grandpa starts walking around on the roof yelling at people you find him a nice facility where he can be watched 24x7 to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself or anyone else. ACLF or Nursing Home! Time for Congress to act.
The felon in the WH had the “sleepy Joe” cognitive decline long before Joe Biden. President Biden isn’t mentally ill with malignant narcissism like the felon, combined with his severe dementia, he’s extremely dangerous.
Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing. The full story: frankgeorge8675309.substack.com/p/trump-narc...

He said there would be territory swaps. Maybe he thinks he’s giving Alaska back
The people in the admin don’t care about it anymore. They are getting exactly everything they ever wanted and more. Slump is just nothing more than a prop for theater. One day he’ll become irrelevant
Yes, new name for dump--grandpa ramble!!!!!
He is long past demented! Babbling incoherent idiot!
I knew Chump's days were numbered when The Hill published concern about his declining cognition. When you start losing conservative media, it can only snowball.
Trump’s explainations didn’t make sense and what did didn’t seem reasonable. That’s saying something since I’m 86 and I have a frw senior moments myself.
It's sad isn't it? And to think it was only 6mths ago they thought it good to vote him in as POTUS.
Read it all “But when I look at Chicago and I look at LA, if we didn’t go to LA three months ago, LA would be burning like the part that didn’t burn. If you would’ve allowed the water to come down, which I told them about in my first term, I said, 'You’re going to have problems, let it come down'.”
100%. Why doesn’t the media call him out in real time? We need real reporters now!

I’m still taking bets. Trump doesn’t last past year one. His mind is disintegrating as fast as he is destroying the nation. Then Horror Show II will begin.
Oh, I almost forgot. He’s also a pedo. #pedopotus
He doesn’t run anything. The government is being run by Stephen Miller and the Heritage Foundation. Also Joe was never anywhere close to trump’s incoherence
The decision about grandpa is difficult because you love him. The decision about Trump is difficult because Vance/Miller/Project 2025 are there to take his place, and the Democrats have no unified resistance plan nor a plan forward.
They plan to ask for more money.
No one cares because the billionaires can control him.
No, he's saying that he's already given Alaska back to Russia. He's telling us every day if we listen w our ears.
This administration is the worst repertory company of performers I’ve ever seen.
But their reviewers in the press will make sure to hide the bad reviews until the show closes.
Razzies for all!
And ALL the Razzies!
More like excrutiatingly bad improv.
Unfortunately it turns out that he is actually going to Russia. Apparently he’s taking a small plane from Alaska into Russia. Something is cooking and it ain’t dinner. Putin probably wants an update on how his takeover of America is going so America can help get rid of Ukraine.
Plueeze let him stay there

He's going to "sell" Alaska, probably in exchange for rights to build some crappy hotel in Russia. He forgot we don't know yet.
Just 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️!!!
Too bad his family has no fucks to give about him. If it were my Grandpa he would have been in a memory care unit. The kind where you are locked in, paper gown, and no sharp objects.
A concise summary of Nazi Phil is from rhetoric; we can’t know the truth, but we can tell when we get what we want. So use language like a gun EG Roy Cohen in “Apprentice”; so philosophical/scientific truth that stops Nazis is commonly viewed as an obstacle. Desire is the standard + not civ.
I believe I’ve said this at least twice; I will forgive what the locals have done to me, but what is NOT negotiable is the necessary denazification of USA. And similar data is emerging from France and Germany. No secure future for anyone with Nazi control of Hollywood/academia etc.

He says he's meeting Putin in Russia, but he means Alaska. Guess who keeps saying Alaska is Russia? I bet we'll see Trump give Alaska to Russia.

It's okay. The rest of the Nazis in the White House just need him to say stupid shit so they can continue to do the nasty evil shit they are doing.
F anyone claiming sleepy joe dump speak. F you times a trillion
Project 25 and Heritage are in a bind though - I mean, Vance isn't leading ANY popularity contests and the Dems, if they had any sense would run non stop ads of all the negative things he said in the past about Trump. They also have not yet completed their cheating gerrymander programme so
...still need the base. I guess Trump's handlers are having daily meetings wondering how the hell they are going to hang on before they have no choice but to "invite him to retire". At this rate of his decline though methinks they are screwed.
Yep!
Its time to take Trump to the vet
It’s all deflection and distraction. It’s so we, and the media, are NOT talking about the economy and the Epstein Files.
Why didn't any of your cohorts bring up the fact that orange grandpa called Alaska, Russia twice???
that means Stephen Miller and Russell Vought have increase power
It usually falls to the eldest child, which for the purposes of this conversation is Lindsey Graham.
Send him to a home, if not prison.
Trump does not become POTUS without an oligarchic version of an éminence grise. We're vulnerable to believing a version of Great Man Theory. Variations of GMT permeate our folklore & storytelling even today as evidenced by so many superhero and/or good guy vigilante movies. It's myth. It's garbage.
Why are there never any references to his mental illnesses? Yes, an airtight diagnosis cannot be made without his person being face to face with a shrink but there is so so much circumstantial evidence that it’s undeniable. To be put out to the public without the legal
Because the Project 2025 goons are running the country now... they don't really need crazy grampa.... 🤬
Fuck Jake Tapper! He should be screaming this and every other network talker. The hypocrisy is horrendous. The loss of our country, the rules, the laws, safety nets.

You can thank Merrick Garland for that non-event. He had the chance but couldnt close.
The Orange would have just went to the Supreme Court to help him, and that is what he did. There is Nothing Garland could have done to prevent the Supreme Court to side with the Orange
He could have made a 4 year media frenzy and found reasons to jail him, from stealing documents, to making $ on his Presidency, family making $, to Stormy Daniels, asking for votes in Georgia, to fraud, Covid deaths. He could have made his life miserable and kept all the crimes very public.
Absolutely!
You make so many valid points & I’ve been watching all of this carefully. The media is also to blame cuz they didn’t do enough coverage of his criminal trials. His lawyers did a good job of dragging out the trials as well. Not to mention the buffoons who turned a blind eye & voted for him.
They repeat the same stuff all day long and there is zero investigative reporting going on. CNN pits people against each other and never asks a relevant questions to Orange or staff. Agree
Agreed! 🤙💙
Yes. Probably, SCROTUS would have found a way to rule in Trumps favor. But I dont think that’s the “big picture”. Garland’s charges, convictions and appeal results would be “in the record, on the record and for the record and a major issue for future campaigns. Garland had the opportunity but failed
And then the media would have thought that the Biden administration was unfairly targeting the Orange Let’s face it he has friends in high places in the media. The amount of buffoons who thought that Biden rigged the election is ridiculous I heard this is why the Biden DOJ didn’t act sooner.
Well said!! 🤙💙
He couldn’t open either, really.
We do care! The press does not!
Where is George Clooney, Rachel? Will he come on your show and defend trump the way he destroyed Biden?
I could not believe the ramble, the lies and the disconnect with reality. I started watching it, went out to get "the groceries" and he was still talking when I got back. Unfuckingbelievable
Louder !! Let’s all talk about it -MORE !!
Just repeating what he likes from his Nazis
Apparently, such concerns only apply to Democratic presidents. The media may wake up when he starts ranting about precious bodily fluids.
Care giver for my 99 yr old WW2 veteran father, he has dementia, often has a similar word salad as trump. When asked what he thinks of trump, “ he’s just like hitler”!
Send to the home now. Shady Rivers has a room.
Did Putin tell Trump to destroy US from the inside?
They're not going to remove him from office because of his dementia. I promise you that after he dies, they will try to keep it a secret for as long as possible. If they won't remove him from office because of death, they won't do it for dementia.
I agree. They're going to run this as long as possible while they do whatever it is they're doing behind closed doors. It's just buying them time. If thing were otherwise he'd be gone by now.
He sounds worse than Biden ever did. And Fox News can’t stop talking about the big Biden dementia cover up. 🙄
That's because Trumps dementia is so obvious. Just another right-wing distraction. Epstein files
Why is an 80 yr old running the country??
If Biden were interested in showing how much worse trump is than himself, he may have the time to sit down in opposite sides of the same room and take series of tests that would lay it to rest ... IF trump would dare to even try doing it without getting all the questions early, in writing before it!
That’s because the Federalist Society is running the country. Trump is a puppet President. None of these nominees are his. He signs whatever executive orders they put in front of him. Reads whatever paper they hand him. Soon they’ll take his phone away.
What did become clear is that Putin's bitch is back.
Biden could run America better than Trump while taking an afternoon nap. Plus he had a heart.
Without question, he is seriously declining. They don’t even correct his “not Russia, it’s Alaska”.
I mean…it’s been obvious for years
The decision that will remove the orange menace is why Valentino the couch lover is appearing more often than usual. The puppeteers will prop Trump up until every ounce of his usefulness to them is depleted.
Putin is going to eat rambling Donnie alive!
Big pillow in the right position while he sleeps?????
Congratulations to the USA Today writer on discovering Trump’s serious cognitive decline But may I refer them to ‘The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President’ from 2018 Trump is a malevolent narcissist, has dementia and it’s not getting better
I agree. I no longer click the sensationalist titles, e.g. "Trump Gets the News He's Dreaded."
But, but Biden!!! When is someone in this government going to do something?!
We are living in the b roll intro footage of “Handmaid’s Tale”
I just want him to go away.
Why are democrats so weak and stuck!?!?! Get ahead of Trump keep him on his heels. Every democratic city should call in the request for National Guard now. Over load them and make him answer to the numbers crime numbers. So frustrating. These old Dems gotta go!
You lied to the American people for years, we don't believe it word you say! MSDNC
Narcissistic Mob boss with dementia
It's crazy. Grandpa is breaking the country in every single way and he stands there talking about how great HE is. What does it say about America when citizens of this country voted for him?
Orange Donnie DickyDo is just playing 666D chess with us. We cannot comprehend his vast knowledge and intellect.
What? Something happened to The Big Guy???
The Biden comparison is reality. Biden spoke the truth and mostly provided relevant facts so people listened and noted when he gaffed. Trump on the other hand is all made up untruths and gaffes.
The Biden comparison is bullsh*t. There is a huge difference between a slip up and spewing nonsense and lies.
#AnyThoughtsJakeTapper
State governments should just ignore the federal government until things are back in the realm of sanity.
They're using him just as much as the Useful Idiot while being paid by taxpayers! Unqualified ar that
The article points out that Trump keeps saying he is meeting Putin in Russia even though they are going to meet in Alaska. Have we considered the possibility Trump plans on gifting Alaska to Putin?
@jaketapper.bsky.social :are you paying attention?
😳🤔😂😂
Hey Rachel, Have you heard about this thing in Gaza? Doesnt seem to be on your radar. Might make a good show. You should look into it if MSNBC will allow it.
How long is too long to keep Trump in office?
They didn’t care in 2016 when he was just as incoherent as today. They won’t care now. Nothing he does will cause them to care. It’s a cult.
I am afraid you are right.
This!!
Of course the media won't say 💩. They'll hold off and write books after he's dead about how smart the idiot was, not about his incoherent rants. Then they'll throw in how Biden was incompetent and incapable.
The opinion writer, Rex Huppke, is clueless though. There are experts who understand aging and dementia. Trump has dementia, a disease. Biden has age-related forgetfulness. Equating the 2 circumstances does an extreme disservice to the reader. No one knows everything so it’s dumb to choose clueless.
They’re both way too fucking old to be running anything except a bath and that only with supervision.

The content of the files must be really bad. "may every day be another wonderful secret" trumpstein cover up
I assume he kept saying he was going to Russia when he's going to Alaska is just because he's giving Alaska back to Russia.
