Donald Trump's cognitive decline is 'more apparent' than Joe Biden's with 'slurred speech and gross, repeated errors' but both are concerning, a professor has warned.
Politics professor Paul Quirk from the University of British Columbia assessed both the presidential front runners' cognitive functioning - after a series of gaffes raised questions about their fitness to hold office.
He told Newsweek that 77-year-old Trump's cognitive deterioration is more obvious, but Biden's 'cognitive failure' could result in him refusing to relinquish control if needed during his second term.

Doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Part of the asymmetrical warfare being waged against what they obviously view as an uncontainable threat.

This is but the beginning of this gambit. There must be dozens of hungry ‘professors’ all over north America with similar public-spirited opinions.

He’s been eating magic mushrooms! Here’s another unknown twit having this sudden desire for attention, and what better way than to dump on Trump. This Canadian Quirk can go jerk…

By the third word I knew it was Daily Mail. They are horrible to Trump and find the most disparaging adjectives for everything they print about him. None of it is true. Pay no attention to these morons.

In order to make that evaluation, would he not have been required to assess them in person. Or is it OK now to draw professional conclusions from a few random stump speeches that you saw on YouTube?

The desperation and harsh propaganda are getting more serious and they are now hiring Canadians to make it up? Quirk? C'mon man, your mother must have hated you. Donald Trump makes more sense when mumbling in his sleep than Joe Biden does on his best day.

I've never heard of Prof. Quirk but his claim is certainly "quirky" ("Full of quirks or subterfuges, shifty, quibbling, characterized by petty tricks. . . .")

This can be resolved easily. Have the two candidates meet for a one-on-one debate, no moderators. Trump asks Biden a question and Biden answers. Then Biden asks Trump a question and Trump answers. We will see soon enough which candidate is cognitively impaired.

Trump has been giving hours long speeches near daily, to massive crowds, that ALL seem to be able to understand him quite well.
Biden gets lost in anything seven minutes or longer...to a secure room, with a bank of teleprompters, that he has studied and practiced on for hours if not days. Then STILL. various spokemodels have to come right back out and "Explain" what it was he just said.

There is a simple truth here that no number of lofty opinions from self proclaimed experts can refute. Biden has dementia. Trump doesn’t.

And no doubt Professor Quirky Paulie has a team of his grad students working on producing an AI video of Trumps slurred and constantly erroneous statements to 'prove' his thesis.

Quirk’s assessment of Trump is fiction. Anybody that follows the two men has seen many more stutters, mumbles, slurs, gaffes, and brain freezes by Biden than from Trump. He sounds like an ultra liberal trying to insert his self in our politics.

Professor Quirk received his Ph.D. at Harvard (1978) and taught at several U. S. universities; was a research associate at the Brookings Institution; a U.S. citizen and lifelong resident until joining the UBC faculty in 2004; written numerous articles/opinions, books; served on editorial boards of several major journals; received two awards; is “active in the U. S. Studies Program at UBC and is currently chair of the U. S. politics area committee in the graduate program.” His assessment of President Trump may be wishful thinking but is for certain delusional. As some Ldotters have noted, there is no doubt a continuing leftist agenda to destroy President Trump that includes usage of several Saul Alinsky’s twelve “Rules for Radicals” tactics.

Isabelle Stanley, I've never heard of, but Donald Trump, I know. This must be some sort of editorial "code" to alert other unknown writers to pick up the phrase.

Politics professor Paul Quirk from the University of British Columbia has a lot of cognitive decline himself.

We don't respect anyone who lies right in our faces. This UBC professor belongs in a mental hospital being pumped full of whatever they give the Resident to keep him upright. Don't lie in our faces. We might throw something back.

Can we begin a campaign to boycott the DMUK from this forum? OP spends way too much time focusing on that piece of sensationalist garbage. It was almost more enjoyable to see the daily photos of Michelle Obama.
