This woman's righteous indignation over the loathsome piece of shit is spot-fucking-on. We cannot let Trump back into the White House. WE. CAN'T. 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙏👏🌊🇺🇸
BREAKING: Donald Trump's former White House communications director rips into him for his decaying mind, says that it's "remarkable" that people complain about Biden's age when Trump is clearly falling apart.
This is devastating for Trump...
"I mean, it’s gotten worse, it hasn’t gotten better. He’s not nearly as sharp as he was," said Alyssa Farrah Griffin, the comms director in question, during an appearance on CNN.
Griffin said that it's truly "remarkable" that some people are smearing Joe Biden for his age when it's clear that Donald Trump is the one who is "not as sharp" as he was in 2016 and "not even as sharp as he was in 2020."
Given the fact that she worked closely with him during his disastrous administration, her insight into his cognitive decline is invaluable.
"For some reason, that doesn’t necessarily come across to voters in the same way but Donald Trump is not the strongest fighter that Republicans could have right now," she said.
"And it’s remarkable how much voters don’t see the age as also an issue because he is only three and a half years younger than President Joe Biden," she added. "But there’s something about the way they carry themselves that is just seen very differently."
Griffin added that Trump has "never been a super articulate or eloquent person" but he is "consistently" mixing up the names of prominent people. He has repeatedly confused Biden with Obama, as well as Nancy Pelosi with Nikki Haley.
Clearly, Donald Trump is not cut out for the presidency. In truth, he never was.

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.
As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.
I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:
1. Enough with Both-sides-ism
When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.
2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking
Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.
If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.
3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions
Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.
Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts.
Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.
