It’s time for Biden and his team to take off the gloves. Probably they are doing this already, or making the preparations.
But it is obvious to anyone who isn’t full-on MAGA that Trump is sundowning. He can barely string together two coherent sentences, even when reading from a teleprompter. And when he goes off-script, it’s a word-salad that only makes any sense at all if you’re willing to fill in the gaps for him. I saw the same thing with my grandmother. It’s horrible to watch if it’s a loved one. But for DJT, the pimple on the ass of the universe, I have no pity at all.
The Biden team should make it simple. White words on black. “Does Trump Have Alzheimer’s?” Followed by a selection of him slurring words, of the malaprops, of the disjointed, disconnected statements that have no basis in our shared reality.
And that will make the press actually address the subject. Once the claim is out there, they won’t be able to ignore it. Something juicy like this is what they live for. They’ll haul Lindsey Graham (R-Cracker) in front of the cameras. Or maybe Tuberville or Hicks. Play a clip of Trump trying (and failing), over and over again, to pronounce “evangelical.” Or maybe a word-salad clip form one of his speeches. And force the sock-puppet to DENY that trump has a brain disorder that terrifies anyone over fifty.
And once you have to deny it…
Well, that’s when people start to think it might be true.
