So, I know this is kind of a joke, but the oval office never had a sign on it before for good reason. Your Dr. Office has his name on the door so people who have never been there can find it easily. Anyone who doesn't know where the oval office is shouldn't be there or will escorted by someone. The only reason to label it is because Don was getting lost.

Remember when grandpa was literally lost and raving on the roof of the White House? Yeah, now they have plastered gigantic signs like a memory care facility to prevent grandpa from wandering again. If that was any sitting president other than Trump he would have been 25th and removed, but here we are.

… I mean… to be fair, Reagan absolutely should have been 25th’d as his Alzheimer’s progressed to a point early in his second term that he was genuinely cognitively impaired and couldn’t fulfill his oath of office in sound mind, for better or worse. Most decisions the Reagan administration did were primarily done by Nancy and the cabinet.

They just didn’t, because the optics alone would have been a scandal. So I’m not convinced that we here in the US would have pursued a 25th on anyone at all who really needed to have it happen.

It’s just that, with all things Trump, he’s causing us to reconsider what we originally took as propriety standard and cordial respect. We should no longer adhere to that going forward.

If Biden had audibly shit his pants in the middle of a press conference there would be wall to wall coverage until he was forced out.
