Really, and do you have personal experience of people with dementia, because I do, and Trump shows some of the signs even if we can say at a mild-mid level.
The NY Times after the debate called on Biden to be replaced as Democratic candidate (admittedly so did some of Democratic "insiders").
Did the NY Times also call on Trump to be replaced, because to objective observers his debate performance was actually even worse than President Biden's.

I have mentioned many times that I have personal experience with dementia.
No, he does not, certainly not at Biden's level.

Considering that I directly cared for people who suffered from all kinds of dementia, including the most common type, Alzheimer's, considering I took most of my continuing education classes on dementia, while working as a professional nurse for most of my career, and considering my own dear mother died with advanced Alzheimer's last year, I think I'm a lot more qualified regarding the symptoms of dementia compared to you, and probably most of the other members on this board.
Btw, dementia expresses itself in behavioral issues frequently, including delusions, for example thinking you are a king, or you have billions of dollars etc. It's more than having memory lapses when under stress or exhausted, or having a life long problem with stuttering. None of those things qualify as dementia. Most everyone, including young people forget things at times or have issues with public speaking when under pressure. You need to learn a lot about the symptoms of dementia before making unsubstantiated claims, but somehow I tend to think you already know that your claims and most of your responses here are. unsupported with evidence.

The Times has criticized Trump and reported on his false claims many times. If it hasn't asked Trump to step down, it's probably because they know he has a cult that would never allow that. I read the NYTImes everyday, but there is no way I can read all of the articles, so I may have missed something. But, I do agree the Times, WaPo, the AJC and other major. papers have spent too much time dwelling on Biden's weaknesses. My guess is that the writers are scared of what it would mean for free speech if Trump wins, and they feel that Biden's chances of winning are dwindling after that awful debate.

For those who seem to think that the NYTimes is in Trump's pocket, I'm going to gift one of my 10 articles for the month of July to give just one example of many, where the Times has reported on the danger of 2nd Trump term. The article was written in June.

There's more in the linked article if anyone is interested in reading it. It's not behind a paywall. The Times actually reports what's going on instead of making up conspiracy theories, like so many right wing sources of "news" do. It's not perfect but it's one of the better sources of journalism that we still have.

It is genocide, just as much as The Trail of Tears was, using Hamas as a fig leaf.
Both the Israeli Government and Hamas are acting as crybullies, but a genocide is clearly happening.

I know who should interview Joe Biden: Unc, on Club Shay Shay.
If the Dems want the Black vote, perhaps they should speak with Black interviewers.

I would say Unc and Ocho, but, Nightcap is about sports.

If Biden is not really medically demented he sure has fooled most of the public including myself and the left leaning media.
But far more important than his supposed medical definition is how he presents himself as a POTUS. Well over 50% of the job requires clear and concise communication and at least looking like a leader who knows what is going on and able to act on it. Listening to Biden at the debate was like listening to garbled communication coming out of WW2 headsets. If lucky you could almost understand what you thought was his point he was making. CNN actually helped Trump out a lot by shutting his microphone off and letting his competition destroy itself. \
Trump certainly has many problems but communication was not one of them. Which is why the left media had to finally admit Trump looked (for better or worse) so much better than Biden at the debate. Which is also now why all the media is pretending they did not lie about Biden being "sharp as a tack!" for 6 months prior to this. Thus, the point of Coulters article.

Bullshit, these are symptoms of shit hitting the fan.
Nobody says that Biden at that stage.
And for the fuck's sake, stop trying to make Trump fit the diagnosis.
He does not have dementia, period. He does not even have the symptoms you trying to ascribe to him.

Sir if you deny facts then why ask for facts?

Biden already did a post debate interview with a black radio host on WURD. It only made things worse.
Biden Says He Is America's 'First Black Woman To Serve With A Black President' During Radio Interview
On top of that, the radio station was given the questions to ask him by the Biden campaign ahead of time, and he still bungled it:
The Biden campaign approved questions for the president’s interview on Philly’s WURD

Huh? I would be surprised if The Felon fed the cat.
And I would much, much prefer Biden on the red button than The Felon. You realize that in his previous tenure the people who actually would carry out the orders had agreed they wouldn't accept a launch order from him because they didn't trust him to make the decision?
And, realistically in the current state of the world I don't think we need to make a launch on warning decision at all. It is very unlikely that either China or Russia could take out our second strike capability and so long as it's going to survive there's no reason to shoot until you see the mushroom clouds. That might mean nobody with the authority to push the button but that could be handled by saying "launch in 48 hours if this order hasn't been countermanded by then."

it doesn’t really matter if all you are communicating are lies.

The fact that it's pathological* is a huge problem.
*Britannica Dictionary definition of PATHOLOGICAL. 1. : extreme in a way that is not normal or that shows an illness or mental problem. He is a pathological liar/gambler. She has a pathological fear of heights.

So, the more than 500 medical professionals, most who practiced psychiatry who said that Trump has obvious symptoms of dementia are wrong and you know better than them? I've already posted the link in. a different threat as well as an article that had video of a famous physchologist explaining Trump's symptoms of dementia.
I just read an article about normal aging and since I'm old I sometimes have those symptoms. They include forgetting names, and that is my most common problem, and all of my older adult friends have that problem too. I've already said that at this point, we need a different Democratic candidate, but Trump is not only showing signs of dementia, he's a narcissist and a psychopath without a moral compass. But, then you have a leader who also show strong symptoms of psychopathy, so it's not surprising you might not notice Trump's symptoms. I'd vote for Biden's head in a jar over Trump, that's how dangerous Trump's second term might be for my country. But, despite Biden's symptoms of old age, he's at least a decent person who will have decent advisors. Luckily, you don't get to vote in the US.
