        If you listen to him talk about any subject, not just politics, it’s very clear his idea of the world hasn’t changed a single nanometer since he was prepubescent.

        I’m not from the states so I’m not sure how old fourth graders typically are, but I’m assuming then that’s not even a teenager level 😅

      “So I said, ‘Let me ask you a question, and [the guy who makes boats in South Carolina] said, ‘Nobody ever asked this question,’ and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT —very smart. He goes, I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’”

      At this point, Trump apparently decided to pursue this tangent in earnest. “By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks?" he asked. "I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks.”

          Biden may have his bouts of old man, but he’s never dropped to this level of senility. He just goes quiet because he knows he should shut up now.
