Trump appears to have another mental fumble and critics pounce: ‘He should be in an assisted living facility

Is he really that dumb, or has his potato been baking too long? Maybe he’s too far gone to know the difference.

After four years of caterwauling over President Biden’s mental acuity (whining still going on), Trump reveals himself anew.

He’ll double down on this because, well, he’s Trump.

Trump appears to have another mental fumble and critics pounce: ‘He should be in an assisted living facility’

Published: Jun. 19, 2025

Donald Trump’s brutal month of cognitive fumbles continued on Wednesday with a stunning statement that … well, folks now seem convinced that the president either forgot what the Declaration of Independence is or never really knew what it was to begin with.

How did folks come to the conclusion?

Well, Trump spoke in the Oval Office Wednesday, fielding questions about the potential of war with Iran.

“I like to make the final decisions one second before it’s due, you know, ‘cause things change,” he said. “I mean, especially with war, things change with war. It can go from one extreme to the other.

“War’s bad,” he added. “There was no reason for this to be a war. There was no reason for Russia, Ukraine. A lot of wars, there was no reason for.’

And that is when Trump went and created a social media stir.

“You look right up there,” he said pointing at the wall where the Declaration of Indepence is displayed. “I don’t know. You see the Declaration of Independence, and I say, I wonder if you know the Civil War always seemed to me maybe that could have been solved without losing 600,000 plus people.”

The Declaration of Impendence proclaimed America’s independence from England. It led to the Revolutionary War that ran from 1775 to 1783. It had nothing to do with the Civil War, which ran from 1861 to 1865.

I would like nothing better than for this to be true, but have to be honest when I say that he speaks very cogently quite often. But when he starts riffing like he did, it just gets fucked up as hell. But his fans love it. Then again, they love Lee Greenwood too, a fucking ridiculous no-talent has been. There just ain't no accounting for taste.

Trump mentions the Civil War could have been avoided.


How exactly ? Just let the South secede ?


What gave the Northerners the strength to fight the Civil War, and all the dead, instead of just letting the South wander off by itself ?
President Trump abhors senseless slaughter. He can be commended for that.

On the other hand, there are things that are worth sacrificing lives for. Saving the Union and ending slavery is certainly one.

Fighting WW-2 to stop NAZI and Imperial Japan aggression was one.

Not allowing murdering religious thugs to have nuclear weapons is a more current one.

Try to see this for what it is. More than a gaffe. It's a trend.
He was weaving. Ya know that thing he does because he can’t think linearly. It’s not that he’s venerable or having dementia. He’s just dumb and says stupid stuff. Fortunately for him, his supporters are just as dumb and believe stupid stuff.

Well, the good news is at least there is no chance in 2028 that this country will have the option to elect another geezer president who will go full retard as he approaches the age of 80.
