Trump vs. Biden: Who's Losing It Faster? Charlamagne Tha God Investigates | The Daily Show

A lot of groundwork for Trump having cognitive decline was laid during the 2024 campaign.

The idea was repeatedly mentioned on most news channels, throughout the blogosphere and it was constant fodder for late night television. Pull-up most any of Seth Meyers' "A Closer Look" from the past year and there will be video showing the President stumbling over words, losing his train of thought or going off into a tangent about an unrelated topic.

Add to this, the videos of him publicly falling asleep, forgetting things and being confused.

During the campaign, I worried that if Trump were to get elected, a cabinet made-up of Heritage Foundation/”Project 2025” adherents would not hesitate, when called, to accept the evidence chronicled by the punditry and popular culture to install JD Vance with the 25th Amendment.

Fortunately, for the good of the country, President Trump did not name an all-P2025 cabinet.

I see every reason to believe he was smart enough to know it would be dangerous to his presidency for him to put that much power in any one group. This has led to a cabinet which includes some Heritage Foundation members in prominent roles, but also some people beholden to him, clowns from TV and officials primarily concerned with themselves.

Barring an implosion over Jeffrey Epstein or a scandal from the open bribery and profiteering, the "diversified" cabinet could slow the handover to Vance by a few months, but four years is a long time for a 79 year-old and if push comes to shove, with the possible exception of Robert Kennedy Jr., I’m sure any holdouts could be swayed by the promise of a future or an influx of cash.

In the end, the result is the same: President Vance.

Reagan in Reason

Discriminatory, persecutorial nonsense from Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier made me think of an old adage from Ronald Reagan;

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

Prompted by the thought, I looked for the source of the quote, which lead me to a 1975 interview with then, Governor Reagan by Manuel Klausner, published in libertarian Reason Magazine.

Manifesto

Heritage Foundation President on Real America's Voice's War Room, July 2nd, 2024

In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back.

***

But number three, let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning.

And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

My bloodless response: Fuck You!
