Trump

Like I have said it is not possible to say if he is senile from a distance.

What I am asking is if you think that this sort of rant shows someone who is mentally sharp. Also we all know that every poli tells lies but this is just so bizzare like most of his rally speeches.

I wouldn’t call this a rant - he is taking the piss for the most part. His rally speeches are all like this. It’s just stream of consciousness stuff that is playing to his audience.

I much prefer a leader who speaks his mind, in his own words, rather than someone who can’t even follow a pre prepared script without stumbling into incoherence.

The point I was making is that there were rightful questions over Biden and his ability to do the job. Trump talks like this on a daily basis and that is not an area of concern for you?

The ramble rant that ends up going into a stolen election rant again?

Also do not get me started on the irony of the "free speech" party and how he treats any news organisation (including fox) that dares to ask him a tough question

On press access;

Joe Biden has done fewer interviews than six of his predecessors: Report

Biden has conducted only 164 interviews and press conferences so far in his presidency compared to Donald Trump's 468.

Biden holds record for lowest number of press conferences

WASHINGTON — Press conferences? “No, we’re good,” implies the Biden administration. And the liberal media allows President Joe Biden to get away with it. No president in recorded history has done fewer. It is a basic part of his job. But he insists he is ready for four more years in office. It...

Trump has answered nearly 20 times more press questions at three Cabinet meetings than Biden ever: report

White House press secretary Leavitt touted the clear distinction between the presidents as a sign of transparency as she spoke to reporters at Friday’s press briefing.

Trump has answered more than 1,000 press questions in first month of second term— 7 times more than Biden in same period

The 46th president took just 141 questions in the first month of his term in 2021.

Opinion: Why hasn’t President Joe Biden given more than one real press conference?

He often gives short answers to reporters, and White House press secretary Jen Psaki is available most days, but can’t we get more of the president?

Going to leave this particular thread as we are not getting anywhere

When ever I raise any points all I get back is mainly what about “insert Democrat” here

That’s disappointing. I see it more about providing some balance to the one sided narratives about Trump, and the inherent hypocrisy in criticising him for apparent failings (eg press access, coherence in public statements) when the same standards were never applied to his predecessor.

You made a statement that trump is anti free speech, to which I provided ample evidence that he is far more open to the press than his predecessor. To my mind that is the value of these debates - gaining an understanding of both sides of the argument, rather than simply getting someone to agree with you. Let’s face it, no one is going to change anyone’s mind here anyway, much like every other topic on this forum. I still think there is value in the back and forth, but so be it.
