This 3-minute video of Trump is absolutely devastating [1]

While the media is obsessively covering President Joe Biden’s age and suggesting he isn’t as sharp as he used to be, a story that gets far less virtual ink is that Donald Trump, who is only a few years younger, seems to be losing it.

But he is, and it often happens on camera in front of big crowds. MeidasTouch News has created a three-minute video that shows just how bad it is.

It’s not just that Trump mispronounced Elise Stefanik’s name, even though she’s a Republican House leader and one of Trump’s most loyal supporters.

And it’s not just that Trump stumbles over his words sometimes and utters nonsensical phrases.

Sure, those are the types of minor errors anyone can make. Heck, do you know how to pronounce Stefanik’s last name?

But it’s the other things that are far more alarming. Like the time he gets names wrong even when he has a teleprompter right in front of him.

Or the fact that he has repeatedly referred to Barack Obama as if he is the current president. And that he also suggested Biden “won against” Obama.

Then there was the speech he gave earlier this year when he insisted that Nikki Haley, who at the time was his last-standing rival in the Republican presidential primary, had failed in her responsibilities to secure the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Haley of course had nothing to do with the Capitol or its security. It’s an attack Trump and Republicans have made on then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But in his brain, Trump had somehow confused the two.

The reality is that the two men running for president this year are both old. And yes, senior moments happen. But Trump, who has been detached from reality for years, is becoming increasingly nonsensical, and while we might snicker sometimes at the silliness of it—didn’t he mean to warn about a coming World War III, not World War II?—it’s also terrifying.
