Editor, News-Register:
I skimmed through Richard Hord's letter to the editor published last weekend. He's trying to make the case that President Trump has early onset dementia because the former President misspoke a couple of times. The examples he gave are actually quite hilarious and shows how low some people with Trump Derangement Syndrome will go with their extreme hatred toward the former President. Donald Trump can stand for hours and speak to crowds without cue cards or teleprompters. He can take questions from reporters on a wide variety of topics and answer them intelligently without script notes and talking point cheat sheets. Mr. Hord, from Martins Ferry, insinuates that Joe Biden has more mental acuity than Donald Trump. Just using the eye-test and watching them both speak makes that insinuation just plain laughable.
Biden gaffes just about every time he speaks. I saw Biden at a press conference wrap up by saying "and now I'll ask a couple questions." Another in a long list that this president commits on a daily basis. Hord says that should be considered a slip of the tongue, but if Mr. Trump says it then it's a signal of early onset dementia. Hord's hatred towards Donald Trump is very obvious to the readers of this paper. But this letter he wrote reminds me of the old saying "don't urinate down my back and try to tell me it's raining." I'm still waiting for Hord to tell us something good that Biden has done for us instead of just trashing Republicans and Trump with his insinuations and half-truths, but he can't!
Remember, even 98% truth is still a lie!
