Is Trump in mental decline? He sounds far worse than Biden ever did. [View all]

Trump seems to know little, and he has grown increasingly incoherent and rambling, often wholly detached from reality.

For those who spent weeks, months and even years howling about then-President Joe Biden’s “mental decline,” let’s take a quick read over 78-year-old current-President Donald Trump’s answers to recent interview questions.

Time magazine spoke to Trump in the Oval Office and had this exchange.

Time: “Mr. President, you were showing us the new paintings you have behind us. You put all these new portraits. One of them includes John Adams. John Adams said we’re a government ruled by laws, not by men. Do you agree with that?”

Trump: “John Adams said that? Where was the painting?”

Time: “It’s right here.”

Trump's own words show us he isn't all there

The magazine asked the president about border security, and he said this about the border wall: “I built hundreds of miles of wall, and then (Biden) didn't want to, and we had another, an extra hundred miles that I could have put up because I ordered it as extra. I completed the wall, what I was doing, but we have, I wanted to build additional because it was working so well.”
