How much longer do they pretend and cover up his clear mental decline to crazy fucking nutball?

We know every accusation is a confession so they’re doing what they accuse us of. It’s that simple. Biden did not have a mental decline and go fucking nuts like this guy did.

I know I do, and I don't have dementia and do just fine.

Even the best bridge player at the club said she couldn't
remember names like she used to.

But Trump is a whole different kettle of pond scum, which
is what his brain looks like these days.

with selected words. If I just relax and go on with things, the words come to me. I repeat them a few times to set them in my 77 year old brain. That is not dementia. It is normal cognitive decline, just like yours.

Also, there's always the internet.

It's like a second memory to me.

Our class was split up into small groups that got put into LOCKED WARDS to 'mingle' with the patients. Yeah, those people were certified insane and danger to themselves and others. Got to observe for hours, and speak to several one-on-one.

Frankly, every single one of them made more sense that Donald J. Trump does these days. Even the chap who really though he was God was more reasonable that the current POTUS.

Patients who were certified insane and dangerous by professionals. But in that locked ward, I felt pretty safe because I knew the people there were fairly well medicated and VERY well supervised. They were being 'treated' as best as could be, but were in a situation where they, and others, were basically safe.

Scars the daylights outta me knowing that the guy calling the shots for our military powers is completely mad and unsupervised.

The patient I was assigned to was an enormous (300+ lb and tall) woman who scared me (125 lbs dripping wet and 5'2) to death on first meeting but who I grew to like over the 2+ weeks I was there. She made a lot of sense, and a hell of a lot more than Shitler does on his best days. She'd just had a rough life and while I was there they started her on lithium--wow, what a change! I kind of enjoyed my experience there but still put psych nursing at the bottom of my list, along with NICU, when job hunting. Just not for me!

They're not coming Donnie. You insulted them, bullied them. Article 5 of the NATO alliance comes in when a member country comes under attack. YOU fucking started this war, so too bad, so sad.

"This is not our war, we have not started it."

an aberration in history.

... what with insults, mean tweets, tariffs, and every other way.

We have no Allies, why should they help us ... or help Chump ... on this sick, self-destructive delusion? Our former Allies will rejoice when he goes down.

...that was the aberration. In OUR story, it's an ass---Donald J. tRump.

Go through his rambling rhetoric and replace "we" with "I" and you get a much clearer picture of what he really means. Especially that last comment:

"My attitude is, I don’t need anybody. I am the strongest man in the world. I have the strongest military by far in the world. I don’t need them.”

After today I don't want to hear about Bidens supposed decline. Joe wasn't crazy like this guy is.

when Biden gets the credit he deserves. He was treated so unjustly by so many, especially the media and even many in his own party.

Most likely frontotemporal dementia.

I wish this rumor would die already. Could he have contracted syphilis at some point? Sure, but the idea that he could go undiagnosed and untreated long enough to reach the tertiary stage makes no sense. That's just not a thing on this day and age, at least not for a rich guy in a developed country. The disease has been 100% curable with penicillin for Trump's entire lifetime, and he has had access to top notch medical care since he took his first breath.

Dementia, along with his malignant narcissism, explains everything. There's no need to go looking for anything else

Vietnam."

DEMENTIA IT IS!

Thanks for pointing that out! I thought about mentioning it, because it demonstrates that he has long been aware of such things. But I was tired at the time and didn't feel like typing that much, lol.

CNN is guilty of fawning all over him even back in his first go-round when they waited with bated breath and an empty podium for a half-hour or so until he deigned to come out to speak.

... done slid off his cracker. All this bullshit from the man that recalled ALL our minesweepers and put 'em in dry dock. Nice work, bright boy.

Every single day he demonstrates that he is seriously mentally ill. He's even had people killed for his lies in this ill begotten war on Iran. Dear God - what more would it take?

By the way, with deep respect, I encourage everyone who attends the "No Kings" protest on the 28th to carry signs that say "25th Amendment Now".

Hugs to you all, DU friends. Together we will get through this.

There is only one way.

is a Democratic majority in BOTH houses. Doesn't look likely, although I'm pretty sure we'll take the House in November.

Majority in the House, Supermajority in the Senate. The 25A doesn't actually remove a President from office.

It's odd that so many people are hanging their hat on the 25A, when the people who need to invoke it have a vested interest in not doing so.

Not only does he exhibit clear signs of cognitive decline, but he has been pretty reliably described as suffering from Malignant Narcissism. And goodness knows what other maladies are hidden under that mop he calls his hair. Anyone with a few brain cells and a decent working memory knows that behavior with tRump is changing over time. There are countless videos and interviews with him over decades that show a definite difference in how he spoke and behaved in the past. The filter that kept him sounding more sane has now eroded so he cannot hide his decline. He meanders, gets distracted and contradicts himself often within minutes of making a statement.

It was one thing when he was Donald Trump, businessman and real estate investor to be impulsive and incoherent. But now that he is President of the United States, we are in a whole other territory, We are finding out how different as he stumbles from one crisis and ill timed statement or decision to the next. I have no idea if we can recover from this terrible event of having a man like Trump in charge of so much of our lives as a nation. Admittedly even our day to day personal lives are impacted by his rash and incoherent behavior.

Someone with the knowledge and authority should have put a stop to his presidency long ago. But they did not step up to save us and our country. How much longer this is allowed to continue is the big question. And even bigger? What will follow once he is removed, dies or his term grinds to a stop?

so why should they help

An alliance originally put in place to defend against RUSSIA, the war criminal country you bend over backwards for at every turn.

isn't helping?

At some point, MSM will stop discussing his strategies, policies and 'mistakes' and will start realizing the constant blunders are because he isn't coherent, wise, knowledgable, patriotic, aware, self-aware, honorable, honest. He comes from a mental and emotional place where good decisions are literally not feasible.

ETTD

Maybe I'll watch.

Once, anyway.

You promise yourself something that relies on others to deliver, and those others don't deliver.

You complain and threaten those others for 'betraying' you.

You still complain when more pliable sycophants do what you want.

You never have a good word for others, or appreciate what others do for you.

You don't remember what you said 30 minutes ago, let alone days or months ago.

You have a self concept that doesn't match reality, and tell lies to cover that up, but complain and belittle those who challenge you on any of your lies.

You come out with a lot of very transparent BS to 'justify' your 'competence'.

even mid-sentence. Why would any world leader with a triple digit IQ ever make a realistic decision based on anything the fucking moron lets out of his lying mouth. TACO TACO MAN!!!
They don't need to see an iceberg when deciding which tRump distraction and self made disaster will sink their ship if they choose to sail with him.

Cripes, he really is delusional.
