'Obvious Mental Decline': Chris Hayes Sounds The Alarm Over 'Incoherent' Trump Moments

MSNBC s Chris Hayes on Thursday slammed Donald Trump  as a man suffering from pretty obvious mental decline. 

And he wants to know why the same voices that pressured President Joe Biden to drop out of the race over his mental skills are largely silent on Trump.

We are not seeing nearly as much discussion about Trumps diminished mental acuity, Hayes said. Seems like everyones grading Trump on a curve: He has always been rambling and incoherent true so he gets a pass. 

But Hayes isnt giving the former president a pass.

I gotta say you spend any amount of time listening to him these days and for our sins, we do here at all end he does not sound like a person who should be anywhere near the nuclear codes, he said.  

Hayes then shared a series of clips of Trumps most nonsensical comments including his attempt earlier in the day to answer a question about the cost of child care that went very badly off-track  and turned into a bizarre word-salad ramble . 

Trump said in part: 

Childcare is childcare, couldnt, yknow, is something, you have to have it in this country, you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that Im talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that theyre not used to, but theyll get used to it very quickly, and its not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but theyll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.

In Trumps defense, he was not on teleprompter, he was just riffing there, Hayes allowed. But I dont know, man... thats the quality of the brains right now that we got over there.
