Trump: "A reporter said it's terrible that I talked that way about somebody with mental disability. I said, I have no problem with it. But I don't want a person with mental disability to be my president."

We are now seeing the attack plan for '28

WTF does " I dont have a problem with it" mean anyway?

I'm have dyslexia, I'm a liberal, a proud veteran who still follows the oath I took, a sexual abuse survivor, unmarried/childless female who is a loving mom to many cats or, as I all them, kid cats.

Despite some of these so-called 'short comings', I am also a damn good family Matriarch.

with it. Turning around letters now and then is not a mental illness. Just means I have to proof read everything. If I were President I'd have a proof reader so how is it a problem? At least he can read and comprehend what he's read.

trump is just giving MAGA a reason and something to say that's mean. They'll start calling him their little names for people with problems, you know the r word.

But then he's too feeble minded to realize how deep into dementia he has fallen.

them by accusing others of having those same flaws. He's not very smart...and that makes him so much more dangerous.

It's actually a dementia test. And doctors *only* give it to patients when they see signs of mental decline to gauge how bad it is.

The fact that Donald is bragging that this has happened at least three times underscores why doctors thought he was experiencing mental decline.
