After the New Hampshire primary votes were counted, Trump won by a fairly meager 11 points. Instead of just gracefully thanking the voters, his own staff and volunteers, and moving on, he seemed outraged that Haley announced her continued candidacy. In what has to be the shiniest example in the history of the world of one man’s lack of self-awareness, Trump went on a rant about people refusing to accept that they lost an election. He thought that Haley should have just bowed out, acknowledged him as the winner, and ridden away into the sunset. For those keeping score at home, it has now been over three years and two months since Donald Trump had his rump handed to him by Joe Biden in the 2020 election. He still hasn’t conceded and definitively hasn’t ridden away.

You can’t make this stuff up ….

Trump recently launched into a tirade about how Nikki Haley was in command of the nation's capital on January 6th. Nikki Haley wasn't even in DC on January 6th.

He went on to clarify that Obama is the president of the United States, that World War II hasn't occurred yet, and that, if it wasn't for absent voter fraud, he would have won California.

He's not done yet; the word "us" he told us, spells the initials of the United States, US. He even passed a dementia exam in which he had to accurately identify an elephant.

Trump does all of that, but the media doesn't say a damn thing about it? The right-wing media landscape is well aware of what is going down with Trump, and they understand that if they don't jump on the opportunity to create a frenzy of publicity surrounding Joe Biden, people will ultimately begin to see Trump for the lunatic he is — which obviously won't work in their favor.

There is a plethora of reasons why Republicans must relentlessly push the claim that Biden lacks competence. They aim to conceal the reality that his achievements greatly surpass anything Trump accomplished throughout his presidency.

Republicans can run their campaigns on an economic platform, but they never deliver — yet they criticize Biden's American Rescue Plan, the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Package, the Gun Safety Law, the Chips Act, the Re-authorization of Violence Against Women Act, the Codification of Marriage Equality into Federal Law, the forgiveness of billions of dollars in student loan debt, and the strengthening of NATO in the face of Russia's war against Ukraine in Biden's legislative agenda.

In addition to being a capable leader, Joe Biden has overseen the most progressive and prosperous presidency of your time, even converting Trump's taunts into real legislative victories. Compare that to The Donald, who during his entire presidency only passed one piece of legislation — a tax cut that overwhelmingly benefited millionaires and billionaires.

He never followed through on his promises to create record numbers of jobs, a health care plan, middle-class tax breaks, and infrastructure. He said he would give you a phenomenal presidency — he delivered that to you in nightmare form.

Considering that he lost the most employment in US history throughout the modern era, he is indeed historic, not successful.

It all explains why Joe Biden is being painted by Trump and his allies as being in the throes of mental deterioration. This is nothing more than a projection. Every accusation is a confession, and they know it, but they also know only too well what Trump's main flaws are, and they're working nonstop to try to shift that vulnerability onto Joe Biden to neutralize it.

It should be evident to us that the right is becoming increasingly determined to push this narrative. They all recognize that the man they’re frantically defending is a babbling madman whose grasp of even the most fundamental ideas, facts, and vocabulary is shaky at best. Even while they may believe they are assisting him, all they’re doing is drawing attention to how damaged Donald Trump's brain truly is.

Yes, dear TexaCan, I simply decided my response on one thread was worth posting as a thread of its own.

Regarding TDS: Once again, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) was originally a made up condition, conceived as a derisive label by the alt-right to attack anyone who criticizes or refuses to support Donald Trump. The idea being that others are so obsessed with Trump that many have collectively lost their minds. Unfortunately like many of their other little online crusades, this has backfired. People dislike Trump for actual reasons which often go well beyond just politics or partisanship, and if anyone has 'TDS', it's often those that blindly support him. Too many (not all) have lost their sense of morality, religious convictions, principles, objectivity, all discernment, and sometimes even the ability to have a civil discussion. So the term has now been co-opted by others to refer to Trump supporters who are blinded by their unrealistic devotion to Trump.
