Is Trump in mental decline? He sounds far worse than Biden ever did.

[Zorro]

Trump seems to know little, and he has grown increasingly incoherent and rambling, often wholly detached from reality.

For those who spent weeks, months and even years howling about then-President Joe Biden’s “mental decline,” let’s take a quick read over 78-year-old current-President Donald Trump’s answers to recent interview questions.

Time magazine spoke to Trump in the Oval Office and had this exchange.

Time: “Mr. President, you were showing us the new paintings you have behind us. You put all these new portraits. One of them includes John Adams. John Adams said we’re a government ruled by laws, not by men. Do you agree with that?”

Trump: “John Adams said that? Where was the painting?”

Time: “It’s right here.”

Trump's own words show us he isn't all there

The magazine asked the president about border security, and he said this about the border wall: “I built hundreds of miles of wall, and then (Biden) didn't want to, and we had another, an extra hundred miles that I could have put up because I ordered it as extra. I completed the wall, what I was doing, but we have, I wanted to build additional because it was working so well.”

1. He has no place to decline from

He has to be sane before he can be demented.

2. He's also a great chef.

3. Should be screamed from every rooftop and steeple...

The king descends into utter madness.

4. Alas, anybody who didn't already care, never will. Nt

5. They just discovered this...?

He was pretty much this bad a decade ago.

6. I repeat, for the 3rd time in two days, . . .

I’m convinced that everything *Rump says/does originates from his psychopathology and dementia. These conditions have been diagnosed by experts over the past 8-9 years. The latest episode of Shrinking Trump pretty much casts this truth in stone, imho. Until this is generally understood as the underlying context for every new outrage, we are missing the point.

If you listen to nothing else, don’t miss the 20-minute interview with Vince Greenwood, clinical psychologist and expert on psychopathology. His insights on *Rump’s criminal behavior are both enlightening and horrifying. The interview starts at 1:25:07 from the beginning (34:03 from the end).

Trump is in trouble, even with his base!

7. The entire M$M is continuing to help him fail upwards

They had no problem saying it on the front page when it came to Joe Biden. But with trump, few if any of them will outright say that he is mentally compromised…..

9. The MSM's failures on trump are unforgivable. (nt)

8. I think we've gone well past any doubt on the subject. nt

10. Impeach, Convict, Remove

Even if the Senate wont vote on IMPEACHMENT now.. we must keep this sentiment alive on all the protest signs and myriad podcasts.. We should call our senators and reps to remind them that impeachment is the only true remedy for trump's vicious & illegal anti-American regime.

A president who breaks as many laws in general as trump has deserves nothing less than impeachment and for it to be at the fore-front for as many days as it will take to convict him. Also, elon must be removed from our Treasury department.... as we all know, elon was neither elected nor confirmed but appointed by a criminal who is squatting in the Oval. elon is just a lunatic billionaire off the street. Also, elon's obscenely young minions should be indicted for the willful and illegal larceny of our private and supposedly secure personal SS & Medicare/Medicaid information and trump's lawyer's should be indicted for their criminal contempt for the Judicial and for the U.S. Constitution.

IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE

11. Democrats need to grab a couple of their major contributors who made such a fuss when Biden strumbles during a debate

and buy one of the cable news networks, doesn't matter which,, CNN or MSNBC and work it like the GOP does FOX news. Make it an exclusive source, and run the singular themes of the party as news stories several times a day. There's a problem, of course, pulling more liberal, and better educated, viewers into a media silo like the conservatives do, but pulling off enough of an audience to make the mainstream media compete for stories is the key. That's what they do now with Fox. Why can't we learn how to do it?

AM radio is cheap now too, and still provides enough coverage to make some political inroads and points.

12. In short, yes!

He is showing pretty severe mental decline, much worse than Biden ever showed. It's pretty obvious. Both my parents lived well into their 90's. so I know the symptoms, though my parents were in a lot better mental condition than many of their friends who were younger. Dementia is pretty common for somebody Trump's age. Also if you consider all the cocaine that went up his nose...
