Donald Trump wants you to believe that Joe Biden is somehow senile or suffering from dementia. If you listened to Joe Biden’s speech today, it’s 100% clear that he’s firing on all cylinders. Of course Trump is merely trying to deflect from his own worsening cognitive failures, which were again on display today.

Trump insisted today that most of the coronavirus “fatilities” are in adults, not children. Okay, but what is a “fatility” supposed to be? This comes after Trump recently made references to “Thighland” and “Yo-SEM-ite” and other similar blunders that are happening with rapidly increasing frequency.

It’s not merely that Donald Trump is misspeaking, or that he has literacy issues. It’s that he’s now reached the point in his cognitive decline where he’s reduced to merely reading prepared speeches from a script that he clearly had no hand in writing and has never seen before, and his brain can’t recognize common words when he sees them in his script. Responses to Trump’s “fatilities” meltdown were anything but positive. So many people piled on that it ended up trending atop Twitter.

Today drew a sharp contrast. Joe Biden is the kind of guy who comes up against a smart strong black woman who challenges him to do better, and so he ends up hiring her for the highest ranking job he had available. Donald Trump is the kind of guy who surrounds himself with people who are afraid to tell him that “fatilities” isn’t a word.
