The Network That Brought You ‘Sharp as a Tack’ Biden Now Frets About Trump’s Mental Acuity!
24th August 2026
It’s not a fret; it’s a slur.
Today’s episode of The Weekend on MS NOW devoted a segment to questioning Donald Trump’s “mental acuity.”
Leading the charge was Jonathan Capehart, who declared that more people should be talking about it “in the way they were giving President Biden hell for walking with a stiff gait.”
It wasn’t just a stiff gait, Jonathan, and if anyone should know that, it’s you. Interviewing Biden in 2022, Capehart watched him appear to zone out mid-conversation and had to call him back with “Mr. President?”
Capehart edited out that awkward moment in the version of the interview he later aired on his own show. Talk about a double-standard dose of chutzpah.
Capehart cited three recent Trump comments as evidence of cognitive trouble: that Canada is a state, that the Strait of Hormuz is U.S. territory, and that the military could ultimately be used to intervene in the bond market. Granted, the last one was a tad perplexing.
