President Donald Trump is showing his old age with his latest political attacks, according to one of his biographers.

In an episode of Inside Trump's Head, host Joanna Coles and Michael Wolff, who wrote "Fire and Fury," explained how Trump's latest political attacks against "communists" reveal how his age is catching up to him.

Coles noted that Trump's father had dementia and Trump's "symptoms of dementia started showing up when he was 80." She added, "Maybe it's part of the aging process, where, as people get older... you tend to remember the past more clearly than you can remember what happened yesterday."...

Veteran Democratic political strategist James Carville ripped President Donald Trump as "too stupid" to understand his new go-to smear against Democrats.

During an episode of the Politics War Room podcast, Carville spoke about the upcoming midterms and Trump's new favorite attack on them, which is to call them communists.

In particular, Brinkley found it "deeply offensive" that Trump would spend time warning about communists because of recent primary victories by democratic socialists.

"It was just Joe McCarthy red scare idiocy because he's out there talking about this communist menace as if it's the early Cold War years," Brinkley went off. "It's just what he wants the Republicans to run on in this election cycle."...

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) has been gauging whether he should announce he's running for president. Tuesday morning, he posted a video ranting about communists and socialists not being welcomed into Florida. But one law professor walked through just how communist and socialist the state of Florida already is.

Taking to Twitter, Jen Taub, author of "Big Dirty Money," brought up statistics on "socialist" programs in the United States like Social Security.

"More than 559,000 Floridians get Social Security payments," she tweeted. "Floridians get more than $330 million in Social Security payments each year." She cited the statistics from the Social Security Administration. ...
