It tells you a lot about the state of corporate media in US when a journalist stating an obvious fact is considered news.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Trumps period calendar rilled over end of last week. He'll be peppy for about 5-7 more days.
Tapper? You want the truth? That's funny.
Just one?
Good. It'll make it a surprise party.
CNN host and an MD?
On the other hand he is regularly displaying his mental health issues.
Problem is half the American population barely recognize it, because they suffer similar issues themselves.
It's not the me too movement, but the ME ME ME movement.
TBF Hes been regularly displaying mental health issues for decades. Hes just displaying new ones recently.
I wonder if this could be related to the gloved hand and floppy coin flip?
Took this clown long enough to say something.
It would be amazing if there was an industry of people dedicated to understanding and answering questions about this type of thing.
That way we wouldn’t have to rely on news hosts and politicians to speculate on it.
Anyone have any ideas on how to start this up? Maybe we could all benefit from it before it gets monetized!
Blue anon back at it again.
I mean, there is definitely something wrong with Trump, he's almost 80.
I guess you could argue that what's wrong with him doesn't affect his ability to lead, but personally he hasn't been mentally fit to lead for a long time now.
I have friends that can run a 10k at 80. If you live that long, you're going to age, but decrepitude is not inevitable. My grandfather stayed strong, mentally sharp and mobile until his late 90s and was only frail for a couple of months at the end of his life. A lot of what's wrong with Trump has to do with him being Trump, not specifically with his being old.
