Has Trump Lost It?

By Jean Godden

Ever had a nightmare about being trapped in a car being driven by a madman? Recently it’s starting to feel as if that bad dream could be happening in real time with President Donald Trump behind the wheel.

Trump’s niece Mary Trump, who has a doctorate in advanced psychological studies, cites a family history with the decline into dementia of Fred Trump (Donald’s father, her grandfather). Mary Trump says she now sees the president frequently exhibiting a similar “deer in the headlights” expression, showing he’s not oriented in time and place.

Equally concerning are other worrisome examples. Take Trump’s falling asleep during important meetings. Then there is the president’s speech at the Davos conference where he confused Iceland with Greenland. He further used his Davos speech to rehash the 2020 election and ramble on about his obsession with windmills.

The Davos gaffes followed other occasions when Trump has become confused. There’s the time when he mixed up Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley. He has talked about “running against Barack Obama” and erroneously said TV host Joan Rivers told him she’d voted for him in 2016, impossible since she died in 2014. Further he insisted that his uncle, professor John Trump, taught Ted Kaczynski at M.I.T, ignoring the fact that the so-called Unabomber never studied there and John Trump died in 1985.

I'd like to hear her take on how much longer we have to suffer DJT being alive. She's pinpointed a couple of milestones... like the constant falling asleep and deer in the headlights look, and compared them to his father's. But at what point did these milestones hit old Fred and how long til he died from that point? At this point, no matter what trumps background, he couldn't elicit a groan of sympathy from me for any reason. I don't care WHY he should be understood or excused... I just want to know when we'll be rid of his carcass.
