For months in the news, it was Biden's autopen this, Biden's autopen that. But when Trump starts spewing some truly unhinged stuff, there's no talk of his senility. Esquire political columnist Charles P. Pierce certainly thinks we should be talking about it more. In his recent post, Pierce tackles all the horrible things the president said on his seemingly impromptu speaking tour this week—and how the man is, well, not sounding all there these days. Read it below. —Chris Hatler, deputy editor Plus: |

Some of the geniuses in the White House communications office decided to give Trump a busy week of public appearances. The results were not great. |
Senile? We'll show 'em who's senile, won't we, Mr. President? Mr. President? Mr. President? Hey, Kristi, can you give him a little nudge? Okay, now hold a mirror under his nose.
Apparently, some of the geniuses in the White House communications office decided to reply to the gathering storm concerning the president's mental and physical capacities by giving him a busy week of public appearances. The results were... not great.
First, there was a lengthy interview with Dasha Burns of Politico. Granted, Burns could have done a better job following up on the various fantastical lies spun out of the president's sputtering cortex. But let's concentrate on some of what he actually said. |

After going damn near crazy searching for the perfect bag, I came to the only possible conclusion, which is that the perfect bag does not exist. There is no one and only. I abandoned my quest and decided to give it time. Maybe, I thought, the universe would provide. Months later, no longer consumed by obsession, I came upon the Mott messenger bag by Coach at a preview of the brand's recent accessories. I picked it up and slung it over my shoulder. Unzipped the top and peered inside. And I realized that while I hadn't found the perfect bag—again, it does not exist—I had just discovered something very, very close. Here's why it might be (nearly) perfect for you, too. |

Galloway is a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and the host of multiple podcasts, including The Prof G Pod. His most recent book, Notes on Being a Man, was released in November and examines manhood in modern America. This interview took place on October 17. "There was an understandable gag reflex when people like me started talking about the struggles of young men. I was called Andrew Tate with an M.B.A. To the far right's credit, they recognized the problem before anyone else. But their answer was to take us back to the fifties, when non-whites and women had less opportunity. And they incorrectly correlated the ascent of women with the descent of men. That is not true." "If women had not ascended at the rate they're ascending, our economy would be down, households would be desperate. Women saved our ass." "One signal that as a man you have become almost near unsavable is when you start blaming women for your romantic problems or blaming immigrants for your economic problems." |
