Perhaps the most striking poll came Tuesday, ahead of Trump’s first State of the Union address of his second term, which beat his own record for the longest speech to Congress.

The Reuters-Ipsos poll showed 61% of Americans agreed that Trump has “become erratic with age.” Even 30% of Republicans agreed with that sentiment.

The Reuters-Ipsos poll also showed a decrease in the percentage of Americans who say Trump is “mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges.” That number has dropped from 54% in September 2023 to 45% today.

    TBF, I would have taken Biden in a coma over this guy.

    I suspect my reasons for that are far different than the people that actively ignore(d) Pedonald’s mental acuity issues.

    Mine are because I trust the Democrats would have executed the line of succession protocols in a far more sane and orderly way than the cons are likely to and any risk/damage to America would be minimal.

    Conversely, I think those that support Pedonald no matter how scrambled his brain is is because they want to maximize the damage against America as much as possible, which of course they call “making America great again”. If he goes off the rails on the crazy, that’s a benefit to speedrunning the very worst things.
