    And this one is… so utterly pointless…

    So he says he looks like Elvis, big deal. He’s full of himself so it should be no surprise that he has an unrealistically optimistic self-image. As far as things goes, this is so utterly harmless.

    So ok, have a chuckle that he is way off base, but trying to use this as evidence of “dementia”? There’s so much better to go on and this silliness doesn’t even rate on the scale. I could easily imagine a 30 year old Trump saying the same delusional thing but without thinking “diminished mental faculties”.

    When there’s media hysterics about something as benign as this, it lends credence to the voice of critics that the media is just crazily, irrationally going after Trump. Meanwhile, there’s an endless flow of really damning stuff to fixate on without having to ‘stretch’ to discuss something like this.

    Like with Obama, at least I understood why the conservatives had to go nuts about a tan suit or a fist bump, Obama just didn’t provide much fodder for them to work with. Resorting to about the equivalent with Trump seems completely needless.
