While they spent months obsessing over President Biden&#8217;s alleged age-related defects, they ignored Trump&#8217;s far worse displays of derangement. Biden would get criticized for stuttering, but Trump would get a pass for hallucinating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62612\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is Losing to Kamala Harris, Who He Says is Dumb, Low IQ \u2013 What Does that Say About Trump?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The good news is that some of the biases of the press may be starting to thaw. The Washington Post just <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/08\/12\/trump-crowd-size-false-claims\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">published an article<\/a><\/strong> that enumerates some of Trump&#8217;s recent meanderings into the muck of his mania. The headline summarizes the substance: <em>&#8220;Trump&#8217;s laundry list of increasingly bizarre claims.&#8221;<\/em> And it doesn&#8217;t mince words describing Trump&#8217;s meltdown&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is bonkers, even by Trump\u2019s own conspiratorial and falsehood-laden standards [and that] It\u2019s difficult to truly compare the relative ridiculousness of Trump\u2019s claims over time, but there is no question he\u2019s pushed the envelope in new and astonishing ways.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Post enumerates ten of Trump&#8217;s most recent derpitudes, followed by documented fact checks. They begin with one that was just loosed a few days ago: <em>&#8220;Harris\u2019s rally crowds \u2018DIDN\u2019T EXIST\u2019 and \u2018nobody was there.\u2019&#8221;<\/em> Trump claimed that photos of Harris&#8217; supporters were altered by AI, and that there was really no one at all at the event. Never mind all the live streamed video and press accounts &#8211; including by conservative media. Trump&#8217;s assertion was wholly manufactured from raw fiction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62580\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Dementia Dives Deeper as He Regurgitates Conspiracy Theories About Kamala Harris\u2019 Crowds<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The list continued with even more preposterous assertions emanating from Trump&#8217;s corroding cranium. Among them, he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=61528\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">accused the FBI of plotting to assassinate him<\/a><\/strong>.
