Hannity (speaking metaphorically about Biden): You keep banging your head against the wall why would you expect a different result?
Trump (speaking literally): So, we would have the wall completed in 3 weeks. It was largely completed. We did almost 500 miles of wall.

Late edit, but people are missing the point...Hannity wasn't talking about THE WALL

(82,849 posts)Obsessed, ain't he? And after four years in office, he didn't complete no 500 miles of border wall, and he's "thinking" that it would have been done in three weeks. If only he didn't have so much golf to play!

(54,770 posts)As someone just a few years behind Biden, I was anxious watching him thinking about his answer to a few questions. Though almost 2 hours is a marathon for something like that.

ABSTRACT REASONING AND INTELLIGENCE
Abstract reasoning is a component of most intelligence tests. Skills such as mental object rotation, mathematics, higher-level language usage, and the application of concepts to particulars all require abstract reasoning skills. Abstract thinking skills are associated with high levels of intelligence. And since abstract thinking is associated with creativity, it may often be found in gifted individuals who are innovators.
Learning disabilities can inhibit the development of abstract reasoning skills. People with severe intellectual disabilities may never develop abstract reasoning skills and may take abstract concepts such as metaphors and analogies literally. Since abstract reasoning is closely connected to the ability to solve problems, individuals with severely inhibited abstract thinking ability may need assistance with day-to-day life.

(25,816 posts)To the east, stretching a couple of miles each way from the little border town of Naco,
was new wall. The desert was as scarred as if thousands of drunk teenagers on ATVs had
been partying there for years. Where I was there was an old barrier, made of railroad tracks
welded together about 4 feet tall. Like a tank defense. Still, no damage to the land and low enough for
wildlife to easily cross. The wall was a joke to begin with. No, Mexico did not pay for it. It doesn't work,
kids in Nogales are over it in seconds. A graft filled failure, like tfg himself.

(50,528 posts)...that Mexicans would have been climbing over the fucking thing in three weeks and a day.
FFS Tijuana would have applied to host the 2024 Olympics, and when they were asked what the events will be... "The highlight of the 2024 Olympics will be the Trump Marathon. To save you the trouble of asking, we'll tell you. We line all the participants up in a park in San Diego. When they get to the border they have to climb over the wall Naranja Borracho Pendejo put up..."
"Naranja Borracho Pendejo?"
"Naranja means orange, borracho means drunk and pendejo is an all-purpose insult."
"Oh! You mean Donald Trump!"
"Exactly. They'll climb over the wall and keep on going until they make it to the official marathon distance."
"But how will they get from Mexico to San Diego?"
"The same way everyone else does: they'll go up legally and overstay their visas."

(81,110 posts)Now relegated to one of the me-too Pox Noise-wannabe clones. He doesnt even belong there!
Just had to throw in that insulting question about are you senile, Mr. President? Im so glad President Biden dismissed that one with a mere few words before breezily MOVING ON to another issue of MANY that hed taken and answered in well-informed, meticulously detailed, and totally cogent detail. And in full command of that room and all those adversarials just hoping for their own gotcha gold and failing to gain anything on him.
Lets see YOU juggle juggle those flying buzz saws, live on camera without a script and every last bit carefully reeled out for him on TelePropTer. Lets see YOU work without a net over a pool full of hungry sharks for almost two full hours, Rosen.
His names gonna wind up on buildings across the country. Whos even gonna remember yours?
You were likely setting up that gotcha question nonstop from the moment that news conference was announced. And HE gotcha in front of everybody!

(1,513 posts)I'd like to ask these snarky TV hosts and the snarky White House reporters if they've ever been around someone that is senile.
Senility is something I fear more than cancer and heart attack. My mother had senile dementia. Which is not Alzheimer's. So, you've got more time to experience the inexorable degradation of mental capacity, the complete eclipsing of any personality. It can't be hidden. Even in the early stages, when there is some capacity to fake it, the memory failures and other mental slips stand out, even during short visits.
Biden's performance during a two-hour news conference was a tour de force. It was also something that someone with even the very beginnings of senility (or Alzheimer's) absolutely could not pull off.
This is projection as usual. Trump couldn't have done this on his best day. He completely shorted out during a very friendly interview with Hannity. His verbal diarrhea is not just the maundering of a normal 75 year old.
He has the beginnings of senile dementia.
Trump will not be able to run for President for many reasons in 2024. He will most likely be under indictment for several of his crimes, but the main reason is that he will be mentally and physically incapable. After awhile even the most adept handlers won't be able to cover for him.
His inability to move on from the 2020 loss is part of his overall pathological requirement to win every competition, but it is probably also due to his advancing senility. He really is wandering around Mar A Lago buttonholing anyone he can so that he can whine about the 2020 'victory' that was snatched from his grasp. He may have been able to apprehend the actual reality at one point, but now I believe, that he believes what he says and no one can dissuade him.
I would have some pity and sympathy for him if he was not the most loathsome creature I have ever seen lurch across the world stage. But I feel nothing but a sense of mournful schadenfreude.

(32,074 posts)Watch any of Trump's interviews from the past two years, and you'll see it. It has gotten progressively worse over the past year and a half, especially after his bout with COVID. The video in the tweet above is just "action replay in mactified fortion," as Dementia Don would, and has said.
