Independent UK - The 78-year-old Republican candidate told a town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Sunday that his opponent Kamala Harris – who turned 60 yesterday – “may have a cognitive problem.”

“I have no cognitive,” Trump told moderator Sage Steele, who he incorrectly referred to as “Paige” earlier in the town hall.“She may have a cognitive problem,” he added, referring to Harris.

“But, there’s no cognitive problem. It was nice that they actually said that, they said you know, if anyone has any questions, we were grilling this guy for two hours or two and a half hours and he’s got no cognitive.” The former president, who will turn 80 in one year and eight months, added: “I’m not 80 and I’m not that close to 80."

Does Trump Have a 2024 Blueprint for Stealing the White House?

NPR - Former President Donald Trump has discussed using the military and the Department of Justice to pursue his enemies while on the campaign trail. This raises questions about how he would act if he were elected to the White House. NPR’s Carrie Johnson says this means that Trump’s political adversaries could face investigation by the Justice Department and the FBI. The Supreme Court decision this past summer granted Trump and future presidents broad immunity from prosecution for fundamental acts, including their interactions with the Justice Department. Trump has also suggested the possibility of pardoning many of the individuals convicted in the storming of the Capitol in 2021. Johnson explains that this kind of rhetoric from a former and possibly future president could motivate some police to break the rules and the federal civil rights laws.
