No signs of cognitive decline here:

Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle wants assurances that the GOP will do to Trump what it insists Democrats should have done to Biden -- remove him from office when he shows signs of cognitive decline.

In a new opinion piece, McArdle argued that "a good deal of what [Trump] says is nonsense. But it’s mostly the same kind of nonsense he’s been spewing for years. That said, it’s reasonable to worry about Trump’s cognitive capacity."

As Trump ages, the odds of "creeping senility" will increase, McArdle wrote, and it will be up to Republicans to do something about it, not cover it up like the Democrats are accused of doing with Biden.

McArdle referenced Trump's own vow to "'absolutely' step down if his health deteriorated in office," but the country knows by now that the current president abhors even the appearance of weakness. Thus, it will be up to Republican leadership to step in if it becomes necessary.

Although it’s objectively clear that Trump is unable to carry out the duties of the Presidency.

Just a reminder that there is absolutely nothing GOP leadership can do. Trump is not going to resign like Nixon. And the 25th doesn’t provide any mechanism for Congress to act. There’s the impeachment clause, or nothing.

So, there’s nothing.
