Trump accused of ‘slowly losing it’ as latest signs of ‘dementia’ unravel
The president forgot names, showed confusion over who was with him at the event, and appeared to fabricate stories that could not possibly be true
“Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons.”
― Mark Twain
This is the classic Krasnov 4D chess maneuver, that is far beyond our mere mortal consciousness, right?!
Sleepy donald
"Slowly" lol
Will there even be consequences?
No?
Well then. So what?
the confusion sets in
Man he's had signs of dementia for a long while now. What makes these signs any more impactful than previous ones?
Ah yes, the monthly "Trump is senile" post. Been going since 2016.
Should we meet back here in another ten years when he's on his fourth term without consequence or care from anyone in power?
It reminds me of all of the “Fidel Castro is secretly close to death” news articles that showed up in the 80s and 90s. I suppose the predictions were eventually correct — but I’m not sure that predicting “sucks is gonna die” 30+ years out from his actual death was particularly useful.

The walls are closing in on Trump!
He’s an overweight, burger loving, guy whose idea of exercise is a golf cart.
The odds of another 10 years aren’t in his favor. Although he has a track record of defying the odds. Maybe he’ll file years of appeals with the Grim Reaper.
There should be a mandatory retirement age of 70 for all 3 branches.
Turning 70 before your potential 4 yr term would be up? Then you cannot run. Same for the senate. We would know ahead of time which Presidential term would be replacing SCOTUS, unless that justice chose to retire early.
Struck down immediately by a senile supreme Court.
Although, in this case, his age is a good thing. If he was younger and sharper, then America would be stuck with him for a lot longer.
You'd have a hard time to demonstrate this is not discrimination against old people.
I feel like if we have a minimum age of 35 for a President, it wouldn't be unreasonable to have a maximum age of 70, which is double the minimum age.
I really think that anyone who is eligible to retire and draw Social Security should be aged out of public office. I wish that older people in government would retire and go enjoy their lives.
The Boomers got that opportunity from the generations before them. (Bill Clinton took office when he was 46. That was 32 years ago.) They have held on to power for far longer than is reasonable. Gen X never really expected to make a difference, but it would have been nice to at least have had the opportunity to try.
Yeah, sorry your palm flower is flashing, gotta go before it turns black.
and appeared to fabricate stories that could not possibly be true
This is literally Trump's entire life in one sentence.
Side Story:
During Trump's time making guest appearances for WWE, he was featured as being the cornerman in a "Battle of the Billionaires" where his representative would fight in a match at Wrestlemania against a man of Vince McMahon's choosing. Trump was supposed to represent a wrestler named Bobby Lashley at the event. When it came time for Trump to make the live announcement about who he "carefully chose" to represent him at Wrestlemania, Trump famously said his name was "Bobby Lindsey".
Trump could never, ever get names right.
This is not a function of dementia. This is a result of a man so narcissistic and self-obsessed, that he can literally not imagine that other people exist on this planet. It’s not that he doesn’t care about other people. He doesn’t even acknowledge the possibility that others exist.
Is an extreme form of solipsism. If you don’t know what that is, you really should.
That's just a link to the wikipedia page philosophy of solipsism, what specific extreme form of it are you talking about? Is there a name for it?
and appeared to fabricate stories that could not possibly be true
Yes. These are also called lies.
"Losing it" ? The guy never had it! His speeches have been word salad and lies for at least 10 years.
"Clean coal" "its my favorit food" - donald trump (defenetly not cut together)
... Slowly?
Did the same with Biden. I’m tired, boss.
It's so hard to tell, cuz he barely "had it" to begin with.
I saw a clip of Trump speaking in 2020 this morning as I did my daily video catch-up over coffee, and it really struck me how much sicker he looks now compared to just 5 years ago, where he already looked like a wet mop on a clothing line.
I know the Presidency ages you, but that's regular presidents who work. Something else is aging this guy this quickly.
Some recent pictures showed pretty impressively swollen ankles (bilaterally, mind you) which really only happens with a handful of conditions, congestive heart failure being the most common one.

I wonder if, deep down in his soul (if he has one).. TACO knows the depth and intensity of the hatred every civilised human being feels towards him; and this knowledge causes him unending misery.
Silly me, of course that's not the case. He's just a subhuman piece of trash. Trash doesn't do well when left out in the sun. It's all the golfing that's doing it.
We need Noem to give him the puppy treatment. You know, as an act of mercy.
I'm not sure he ever had it
There's a video of him on the campaign trail taking a question from Maria Butina in 2016. Honestly, listening to him speak now compared to then is a huge difference. He was so much more animated and with it than now, it's worth a watch.

Can’t lose what you never had.
Mad cow!
"Slowly"
His underlings will prop him up for as long as he's useful.
Like that other guy. Stalin?
Finally catching up? This has been going on for years.
Just need to keep the pressure on so the stress does it's work and eventually he'll just start talking about shit he shouldn't on live tv
Yeah, but Biden.
Sadly I think the Biden case is very relevant to this story.
Democrats hid President Biden away for months, but they couldn't hide his disasterous "I defeated Medicare" debate performance. Do you remember what it was like in the months after that? I remember being so anxious watching Biden public appearances, hoping he doesn't make a fool of himself. And then when he inevitably flubbed, I remember feeling such deep dread, thinking "oh God, Trump is going to be president again".
As the Republicans begin to give Trump the "Weekend at Bernie's" treatment, Democratic criticism will not land as hard because we have so much footage of Dems standing behind Biden during his serious cognitive decline.
Prepare yourself for "it's just a stutter"-type memes.
“Kaczynski was one of his students. Do you know who Kaczynski was? There's very little difference between a madman and a genius,” he said. Trump then said he once asked his uncle about the Unabomber.
“What kind of a student was he, Uncle John? He said: 'What kind of a student — seriously, good ... he’d go around correcting everybody. But it didn't work out too well for him. Didn't work out too well, but it's interesting in life,'” Trump said.
Don’t send bombs through the mail, me boys! But it was too late.
