I don’t work with specifically geriatric populations and I don’t specifically have dementia expertise, though I work with a bunch of older people
I don’t see evidence for dementia. I just don’t.
I keep saying this but i think its clearly him not being able to cover up his stutter the way he used to (due to not being as sharp, which is aging not dementia)
Biden v Trump is a pretty direct ageism thing. Trump is aging worse than Biden, but due to vanity and aging in different ways Trump codes as less old and therefore gets way less shit for it.
Trump is aging like a stereotypical American -- watching too much TV and getting more and more angry about it, while Biden is busy working at the hardest job that there is. I'd like to see more reporting on the President's punishing schedule and how good a job this 81-year old is doing at it.
Trumps voters don’t care. They do not hold him to any kind of standard whatsoever.
Like, you can wring your hands about how unfair that is but, it doesn’t change anything.
that has the same energy as people who were going “why didn’t anybody call for kennedy to step down???” during rbg discourse. like, “because they’re republicans and thus scum”
His physical movements remind me of my dad, who is 100% mentally fine but has sometimes severe tremor and pain due to a spinal issue. (And we already know Biden has a nerve-related issue with his gait)
