“Trump doesn’t make sense. He talks a lot. It is becoming clear that he is cognitively declining.”
On top of that, the far left says the media is (wait for it) “lying for Trump” and his mental decline.
They call it “sanewashing,” which sounds a lot like what conservatives say about the media.
In part because the press doesn’t show Trump as he really is, Stephen Robinson of Public Notice writes, “It feels like half the voters have gone crazy.”
“The normal voter probably doesn’t spend a lot of time reading Trump’s crazy social media posts or watching clips of his rants. But they might read news stories that keep “sanewashes” his crazy behavior,” Robinson adds.
“As he truly is” means that the media won’t write on Trump the way Robinson and others want them to. That includes the left’s wish for the media to “Bidenize” Trump by making him look like an old, crazy man who has lost his mind.
The first piece of evidence used to say that Trump is mentally unfit is his answer to the question of how to pay for his childcare plan.
“This is a very important matter. But I think that when you talk about the numbers I’m talking about, that – because, well, child care is child care. You have to have it. You couldn’t say anything else. You have to have it in this country. Now compare those numbers to the ones I’m talking about when I talk about taxing other countries at levels they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly.”
Not Trump’s best moment. Trump, on the other hand, has word tsunamis, while Harris’s are just stream-of-consciousness nonsense. It definitely doesn’t mean anything about mental health. Trump has done this the whole time he’s been speaking in public.
Still, the media didn’t run the whole answer, which made a lot of people on the left angry.
USA Today:
“According to the first story on Trump’s ramblings in The New York Times, he said he would prioritize legislation on the problem but didn’t give any details. He also insisted that his other economic policies, such as tariffs, would “take care” of child care.”
“Come on, man. It’s a jumbled answer when a 78-year-old convicted thief running for president goes on a rant that makes no sense and shows he can’t hold a thought or understand an important problem.”
