Back in the 60s Dean Martin often appeared drunk on his television show. Later he said it was just an act. Is Joe Biden's dementia also just an act?

[exitseven]

He's gotta be faking this, right. No way could he really be President of the United States.

[Red_Arrow]

Martin appeared to become an alcoholic in his later life. But his television "drunkenness" was scripted, an act.

Biden has had many gaffes in public, But Trump has had many gaffes and appears to be getting worse. As President, he was known for "covfefe" which he used in a sentence that was strange in other ways, also. Recently Trump said, "My father is German. Right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany.” Trump's father was born in the Bronx.

Trump often uses wrong words. For instance when Attorney General William Barr released a letter on the Mueller report, Trump said: “I hope they now go and take a look at the oranges, the oranges of that investigation, the beginnings of that investigation." He also uses non-words. For example, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu becomes “Betanyahu,” big league becomes “bigly,” anonymous becomes “enenamas” or "anenomynous," renovation becomes “renoversh,” missiles become "mishiz," space capsule becomes “capsicle,” midterm elections become "midtowm" and "midturn" elections, and Christmas becomes “Chrissus.”

USA Today reported Trump’s speech patterns appear even more disordered when you go beyond the sound bite and look at a whole speech. He careens from one thought to the next in a parade of non sequiturs, frequently interrupting himself in the middle of a sentence to veer into another free association. When commentators described his two-hour speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month as “unhinged,” they were referring in large part to this quality.

As for his CPAC speech, “Those who learned about the speech from glancing at mainstream news headlines the next morning would have no idea how flat-out bonkers the whole thing was … even by Trumpian standards,” Amanda Marcotte wrote in Salon. The Washington Post's Eugene Robinson said Trump “gave a rambling and incoherent two-hour speech in which he raved like a lunatic.”

Trump has been getting worse. His attempt at taking over the country after losing the election (Jan 67th) is probably a precursor of what he could do if elected again.

I watched that CPAC speech and all I could think of was that he looked like he lost some weight, and was ready to run for re election. When asked what he would do to fix the damage caused by Biden he rattled off 5 or 6 things off the top of his head that would fix some things and you just know they would work because they worked before. He did not need a cheat sheet or teleprompter either. I just thought about the contrast between Presiden Trump and what we have now.
In the 4 years Trump was president all they can come up with was the civil war speech where he said they closed the airports and covefe.. Biden makes mistakes every time they let him out of the bunker

[Red_Arrow]

As I already said, Amanda Marcotte wrote the speech was flat out bonkers, and Eugene Robinson said Trump “gave a rambling and incoherent two-hour speech in which he raved like a lunatic. You claim you watched the whole speech, yet you sound like you read the headlines. But knowing how much you love Trump, I guess you are just as bonkers as he is. And "they" have come up with much more than his one speech. He often rambles and waves his arms like a lunatic.

[exitseven]

I did watch the whole speech. His coherency was not even a consideration and he did not rave like a lunatic. He was animated and passionate about America. To a liberal I could see where they would think he was a raving lunatic sinc ethey hate America so much.

[Red_Arrow]

Actually, liberals love America but hate that the right is killing America. Trump tried to overturn America's choice in the last election and the courts just ruled that his actions were NOT performed as a President protecting America but rather as political speech which is not protected so he can be sued for the damages he caused to the capitol, the capitol police, and all others who were hurt by his actions. He is passionate AGAINST America. And his coherency was lost according to those covering that speech and others of his.

[BCA6010]

The "friendly" part of old Joe is an act. He's well known to be a cantankerous douchebag to everyone around him when the cameras aren't on. It occasionally comes out anyway when he gets frustrated.

[sage2021]

The whole time I was watching this, I kept trying to figure out why they have people with heavy foreign accents narrating the clip. What country taped this.
They have people on Fox Channel News with the same heavy foreign accents.
I for one can barely understand what they are saying because I am used to hearing my news spoken by Americans.
This is happening more and more. Can't they find American 🇺🇸 people to give us our News? Are American's losing jobs to foreign accent people? Soon everything will be in a foreign accent mixed with a little American speak.
As far as Joe Biden goes, to be honest, I am not sure people with dementia fall all over the place like Joe does. Maybe HE is the one that's drunk!

[exitseven]

I think that this production came from Australia. I heard that there is a lot of stuff you can see about Biden in Australia and GB that is not shown in America by the fake news. Actually if you were an elderly American and could not afford cable you would never know that Biden falls down all the time and that he has dementia.
Fox news has some of contributors that are from Britain and they picked up Piers Morgan.

[DubiousIntentions]

Actually, Dean Martin was as actual alcoholic but didn't turn until his son Dino died, according to Jerry Lewis. There is a whole slew of actors and actresses who were known to imbibe.

Bradley Cooper
Samuel L. Jackson
Matthew Perry
Michael Phelps
Dax Shepard
Russell Brand
Nicki Minaj
Jessica Simpson
Kat Von D
Eric Clapton
Eminem
Rob Lowe
Kristin Davis
Keith Urban
Tim McGraw
John Goodman
Elton John
Mary J. Blige
Alice Cooper
Demi Moore
John Stamos
Sia
Eva Mendes

Yes, his son died in a plane crash and he fell apart after that. Back when he had the TV show he used to have a coffee cup and supposedly it was filled with booze. He admitted that it was an act.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't think he's a good actor, so it must be real!

[menina]

I think it's real. He has many flaws but I can't imagine him faking that.

[exitseven]

He was interviewed about it and he admitted it was an act. He was quite an entertainer so I think it would be difficult to be a drunk and put on a goodcshow every week.

[menina]

Are you still talking about Joe Biden or about Dean Martin?

[exitseven]

dean martin.

[menina]

Oh ok. In that case it makes sense.

[Avicenna]

LOL, hasn't he already had a brain aneurysm? And he was an idiot already back in the 1970s.

[exitseven]

He had been called the dumbest person in the senate.

[Avicenna]

he was also the poorest until he set up the Biden's Crime Family's influence peddling business and its dozens of shell companies. I wonder why the IRS isn't investigating that?

[lightbulb27]

Martin had some condition where that was normal for him, an act per see.

Biden wasn't like that before. he's old and under a lot of stress. the travel alone would do me in, takes a lot of stamina to go from meeting to meeting and dealing with big decisions, endless BS and crap.

Don't worry... he's being teed up to be replaced by a dude from the great state of California.

[Surely]

I would say no act. Joe isn’t good at anything for the good of the country. Just look at him. He is the lost grandpa that shouldn’t even be around children.

[RolandCuthbert]

:D

[rigmarole]

He's a typical socialist strong man... That's why Democrats voted for him...

[AviatorTom]

Joe Biden is not Dean Martin. At least Dean could sing.

[msc545]

Once again, you re not competent or qualified to diagnose dementia, as evidenced by the fact that you don't even know the symptoms.

Give it a rest.

His attempt at giving a speech in Colorado was down right scary. As was his mentioning who has the nuclear codes.

[BLP11520]

he is a mess, it is no act and Dean Martin was drunk

[Daniela1982]

Maybe he's just drunk?
