TRUMP COGNITIVE COLLAPSE: Biden has (imaginary) “Stage 9” cancer
Yesterday, Donald Trump falsely claimed Joe Biden has “stage nine cancer,” a diagnosis that doesn’t exist, confusing it with a tumor score. He then ramblingly bragged about passing cognitive tests despite showing clear confusion. His aides stood silently behind him, seemingly uncomfortable. The whole event revealed Trump’s significant cognitive decline and striking lack of empathy.

In a recent Trump press briefing, Karoline Leavitt entertained conspiracy theories about the Clintons and Jeffrey Epstein while smirking.

In a disjointed interview with Fox News's Bret Baier, Donald Trump appeared unwell and struggled to form coherent thoughts on topics like the assassination attempt, nuclear weapons, and Ukraine. He rambled about “the N-word” for nukes, boasted about personal profits, and cited genetics to explain his stamina. At times, he seemed to forget what he was saying entirely.
