Follow the Money

Glenn Reynolds, aka Instapundit, takes a look at allegations that President Trump isn’t all there and concludes:
You never see dementia-Trump in public because he only lives in the heads of Democrats and reporters — but I repeat myself — who are desperate to believe, and who are making fools of themselves in the process.
I agree. Trump is touchy, defensive, boastful, and has an outsize ego, but he’s also talented, hard-working, intuitive, ruthless and often-enough successful. Ignore his shtick, focus on his results. Big money doesn’t adhere to stupid or demented people.

Grasping at straws, Democrats remind me of cult members coping with a charismatic leader’s failed prediction of world’s end. Most gamely accept his protestation he merely miscalculated the Biblically inferred date. To believe is to be a fool; to face facts is to accept one has been foolish - the accepting is much harder than the being.
