My father is 78 and incredibly wise and knowledgeable. Finger on the pulse regarding world politics and societal needs. Why shouldn't a patriarch of a family become the patriarch of a nation?
Absolute ageist claptrap.

Nonsense it’s not about age it’s about health and the two are closely linked. Being a president is a seriously tough job. Just look at how much Blair and Obama aged during their tenures. The presidency requires long hours, little sleep and mental and physical fitness. Age on its own shouldn’t automatically preclude someone but in the context of the US election it was between 3 geriatrics one of whom clearly has dementia, one has a history of aneurisms and the other has had a heart attack. Those are not things that should be taken lightly.

Didn’t Trump declare that his medical concluded that the health of a 20 or 30 year old or something? With his experience, health and great business acumen he should be able to run the country better than career politicians who just give the average man the same empty promises and nothing ever changes. People want change and Trump will drain the swamp and MAGA!

They should have told him that sadly due to his history of bones spurs he wasn’t eligible to serve in high office.

Yeah I think he paid a doctor to say he was the healthiest president ever. Definitely not an obese dementia patient with an Adderall addiction.

Something I've noticed lately. When trump tells an anecdote which is a lie, it always has someone in it calling him sir, usually trump will say something like "the man said to me Sir, you are completely right". It was repeated many times last night as well. Another of his Tells spotted

Number of "sirs" in story is inversely proportional to the truth.

The full broadcast is up there, i used to be deaf and can lip read a bit and can't see anything about what he said at his rally. He says what a good job was done and some small talk only.

He won't like this, expect the toys to be thrown out of the pram.

i like this in relation to his West point story.

Trump has a set pattern of:

<thing is wrong to me>
<blame person for thing that wronged me>
<say person who wronged me is terrible and I am so much better>
<make up silly name for person who wronged me and repeat it until the crowd cheers>

I think part of why he seems so unhinged about the West Point videos is that there's no one for him to hit out against. He's not actually doing anything different than what he normally does it's just that 'crooked ramp' or 'sleepy glass of water' aren't good phrases for a rally, so when he holds the rally the checksum doesn't complete and he ends up waffling how slippery the ramp was.

All in all though, given the date and location plus what's going on in America right now I'm kinda glad there wasn't anything more inflammatory in his speech.

<><>Edit<><>

It has just occurred to me that we've not had enough slippery slope jokes or maybe I just missed them. Either way there's problem at the thin end of the wedge.

i was convinced by his story, then you watch the West Point full video and realise he is just a total bullstter. He should be changing the record not making BS stories up.

Not a peep on Twitter from Trump today other than a generic Father’s Day message. Not what you would have encountered if he had enjoyed a raucous sell-out rally last night.

He’s hurting alright.

Made a start on the Bolton book, I sense a not very pleasant person. Reminds me a bit of Al Fayed v Neil Hamilton years ago, you didn’t want there to be a winner...

You're right about the Bolton book, plenty of PDF downloads now if you look. You don't get a feeling of rooting for the supposed Hero...

Bolton learnt about media soundbites : "trump sees obstruction of justice as a way of life, which we couldn't accept."

On Ukraine: "It was a trade. It was a trade of an investigation in exchange for the security assistance."
If only there was some sort of investigation he could have testified at...

Another day another court case...

Ethics watchdog American Oversight has sued the Trump admin after multiple agencies failed to release documents detailing Jared Kushner's role in the federal government's coronavirus response efforts. "The public deserves to know why."

After trumps lackey got rid of the CEO of voice of America, turns out he did much more than that.

The heads of four organizations overseen by the US Agency for Global Media were all dismissed this week — a move likely to heighten concerns that new Trump-appointed CEO Michael Pack intends to turn the agency into a political arm of the administration.

In what a former official described as a "Wednesday night massacre," the heads of Middle East Broadcasting, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the Open Technology Fund were all ousted, multiple sources told CNN.
"They let go all of the heads of the networks. It's unprecedented," an agency source told CNN.

A source familiar with the situation said at least two of the removals -- that of RFE/RL's Jamie Fly and MBN's Alberto Fernandez -- were unexpected. The head of the Open Technology Fund, Libby Liu, had resigned effective July, but was still fired Wednesday evening, one of the sources said.
Three sources with knowledge of the changes said that each of the organizations' boards were dissolved, and two of those sources said that one of the incoming board members is an official from Liberty Counsel, a conservative Christian organization.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are flipping out. They’re leaking to CNN that they’re “pissed” at Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale for overhyping what he should have known would be a poorly attended rally.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/21/politics/jared-...

The trouble is, we know that trump campaign money is being routed to donald jnr and eric through Parscales company, sofor the moment he's safe. Perhaps Ivanka is pissed she isn't getting any?

Mental capacity is more important than physical in a leader, JFK showed that, he had to be lifted on to airforce 1 due to his chronic back condition

That's only because he was banging Marilyn Monroe.

FDR would be a better example.
