But Trump was showing early signs of dementia during his first term.

That's what was reported. But, again, none of this reporting is reliable. It's all just court gossip.

The difference here is evidence.

It's credulity. Liberals are more receptive to "conservatives in decline" than they are when it is reported of their own politicians.

That's why Feinstein got to die in office without facing any kind of serious challenger. And why Schumer will benefit from the same.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? It doesn't matter what people say, the truth will reveal itself no matter one's feelings about MAGA or liberals. Whatever people have said about other politicians, I've been watching the President's mental state deteriorate in a manner congruent with the progression of dementia since the early signs in his first term. And, for the record, no, that doesn't mean he's going to be gone soon. The life expectancy after diagnosis is years; he might die before the end of his term, or (with the best care in the world) he might not. We'll see about Schumer, too. I haven't seen any dementia symptoms in him, but I haven't paid any attention to him, either.
