And if Biden really were senile, all the stimulants in the world wouldn't make him debate better. For the same reason, loading Trump up with caffeine or cocaine wouldn't make him stop ranting about being electrocuted by sinking electric boats or persecuted by the deep state. He'd just do it faster and probably drool more. It would be just like giving me performance-enhancing drugs wouldn't make me be able to run faster or bench-press 300 lbs. They'd just make me crabbier than usual. You can't enhance a performance that wasn't already possible.
