The governor told NBC News that the president’s mental state should be serious cause for concern.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) accused Donald Trump of behaving erratically after a Thanksgiving rant where he raged at the Democrat and called him a slur.

During a Sunday morning appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” the 2024 vice presidential candidate suggested the president was “fading physically,” and his “mental capacity” should also be serious cause for concern.

In a late Thursday evening rant, the Trump called Walz “seriously retarded” while falsely accusing him of allowing “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia” to invade his state.

    Yup. Equality is unhelpful in the real world past a certain point. It’s better to think of equitability instead. Colour blind people can become pilots, but their rating is limited according to the extent of their condition, such as being banned from night flying, or not being given a commercial licence. So they have equality in being allowed to train and to take the medical assessment, and equitability in being treated differently due to their specific circumstances rather than in general terms.

    As there are already restrictions on who can be president, it’s not too much to ask that they also be of sound mind. The equitable (indeed only sane) thing would be for anyone with dementia to be immediately removed from the military chain of command.
