I do think Trump's losing it but this come's across as a slip of the tongue. He is clearly saying that his mother was born in the UK and seems to contrast with his father, but then says his father was born "there" when it sounds like he means "here." It is still a little bit of senior moment but not to the level of forgetting where his father was born.

There are plenty of good examples. I feel like posts like this undermine the legitimate argument because they come across as disingenuous.[/quote]

DP. You described it as a senior moment. Do we want a US president who just started a war to have senior moments?

That is a legitimate question. [/quote]

No, I don't. I am in my early fifties and I think this would be disqualifying for someone my age, too.

I am in no way defending Trump. I am critiquing the way we attack him. It will be more effective if we don't exaggerate or stretch the truth. No need to.[/quote]

So what is the best way to criticize the most powerful person in the world who exhibits a severe personality disorder and cognitive decline?[/quote]

I don't think I am bring unclear. When you argue in bad faith, it backfires because it shifts the focus from the Trump' actual weaknesses to your  lack of credibility. Anyone can see this is an exaggeration and it makes people who say it look biased.

In Trump's case, there are plenty of senior moments, constant signs of no impulse control and rage, and never ending lies. I am just saying that there is no need to pretend he doesn't know where his father is from when he misspoke a word.[/quote]
