So Justin Trudeau is more powerful on the world stage than Vladimir Putin.
Ummm ... was there ever any question that even the richest man in the world is a small player on the scale of Nations? I for one am GLAD for that. The issue is that the EU has the financial resources to counterbalance any superpower if they chose to. An alliance of Asian Democracies have the financial resources to offset the Chinese economy if they chose to. The WORLD does not require US leadership because of lack of resources, only a lack of will to cooperate and use THEIR resources.If money is the measure, then Trump is pretty low on the list.
So Stalin was beaten by a 7 year old with no "divisions".
I officially pronounce you completely void of any sense of humor.Stalin wasn't beaten by the Catholic Church and Pope Francis was not the Pope as a child.
Oops! Sorry, I forgot that facts mean nothing.
However, Trump talks off the cuff, uses a lot of colloquialisms, and sometimes exaggerates (as almost all of us do in ordinary speech when we say things like "everybody knows....").
Biden, however, often lapses into gibberish, or has to take long pauses in the middle of a speech in order to recapture his train of thought, forgets where he is at the moment, and avoids or refuses to talk to reporters, etc. without a script. AND he was NOT this way only a few years ago.
No, the two situations are not at all the same.
This thread is not about Trump or how I feel about him.

I only mentioned Stalin's famous remark about tanks because I thought GNP was not the only measure of influence countries wield.
I sort of wish I hadn't, now. I am struggling with why any of this should be relevant to Biden's cognitive function. As Obama said on the campaign trail Presidents have to deal with more than one thing at once. Biden is certainly managing that OK.
It matters, as like with Obama the GOP are starting the trend of ignoring all the real reasons to be upset at Biden and make up millions of fake ones.

There is nothing wrong with comparing Biden to Trump. In fact, comparing a current president to his predecessor (or to previous presidents) has been done throughout the history of our nation. Why is it suddenly unacceptable to Trump supporters to compare the current president to his predecessor?
IOW... DittoThis thread is not about Trump or how I feel about him.
Are you calling me a liar?So making up lies about his sanity isn't attempting to attack him and his job?
It was an off-topic question.It was a question. You don't answer questions?
