“The president veered into incoherence”

Fox News on Wednesday abruptly cut away from a press conference held by President Donald Trump in San Antonio, Texas after the president began rambling incoherently about fences and trucks.

President Soundbite has never had to speak more than a few sentences in public. He really is out of his element having to speechify.

There is nothing funny about it. It terrifies me, in fact.

What the hell is that nitwit talking about now?

It’s not “getting bad”. This shit has been bad since he started his campaign.

I fully expect him to shit in his hand at some point and throw his feces at reporters. They will probably just wipe their faces and call his behavior “bizarre” and “unprecedented”, and mumble something about “unchartered waters”. Reporters don’t know how to deal with this moron, which is why he still dictates the headlines every fucking day.

Does anyone think he's going to be able to finish his term, and/or go through an entire campaign for President again?

Yawn. If only I had a dime for every time someone predicted Trump was THIS close to resigning because of mental illness, or drug addiction, or the Russia conspiracy, or poor health, or some other nonsense, I'd be a rich man.

The two current Twitter theories are dementia and/or ministrokes.

If it's ministrokes his chances of a massive stroke are getting higher by the day.

I'm in a betting pool on twitter on when the "big one" happens. I'm guessing 4th of July.

R6, yes he will. Because his stupid followers don’t care. Trump can never be too crazy for his deplorable base.

It’s weird he can remember names for the most part if he’s having strokes/dementia. He doesn’t seem quite as fuzzy acting as Reagan.

I linked to yesterday’s incoherent rant.

To paraphrase DJT:

It was Obama who separated the children, not Trump . Trump stopped it. We created a new law. But Obama had the old law...but we need to do this...but Obama did it. We didn’t do it, it was Obama, ur we have to do it...

Call me if he veers into coherence.

Lol r12.

My go-to tactic when arguing with a Trumpster on line is I ask them to link me to video showing Trump clearly articulating his thoughts on a serious issue where he doesn't just go off onto tangents bragging about himself or bad-mouthing his enemies. They always seem to drop out of the argument.

[quote]Does anyone think he's going to be able to finish his term, and/or go through an entire campaign for President again?

Yes, unfortunately.

I don't think he's going to resign either. I mean I think he simply won't be able to physically go through another two years + campaigning.

“I said, how many people died? They said 7. I said, 7? That’s a person!”

I'm also of the mind that he's starting to have mini-strokes. Unfortunately, my fear is that I doubt he'll have one that will noticeably incapacitate him until after he's re-elected. Which would land us with three or three and a half years with President Pence. And that terrifies me to center of my soul.

Time for Trumpy’s nap

He sounds like Brendad Ickson!

So well spoken!

The debates will be his undoing.

I first read the title as "The president veered into incontinence".

He's doing a better job killing the english language than the mexicans.

I’m going to pray that he has a stroke every single day from now till he has one.

Ditto - r25: I want it in public , painful and filmed so I can watch it on YouTube over and over. .

To paraphrase John Dryden--"The rest to some faint meaning make pretense,/But Donald never deviates into sense."

When was he ever coherent?

Almost as terrifying as Trump's deteriorating mental condition is the many millions of propagandized, damaged, mentally ill, cognitively challenged voters who will continue to support him.

A special note of distain for Andrew Sullivan, who recently stated (on Bill Maher) that Democrats must now spend a lot of resources to cater to these extreme losers.

Trump's base does not care if his incoherent and doesn't make sense. The average IQ of the US is 100, 50% have IQs less than that. They are accustomed to seeing Presidents and other leaders discussing things they don't understand.

So, when this happens, they don't even register it. The base only sees the top line - immigrants bad, Trump stop them, we need wall, we need close doors, Trump doing what others scared of (insert racial/bigoted slurs) won't do.

R22 he just won't participate. He'll come up with some reason and his followers will happily buy it.

[quote] R22: The debates will be his undoing.

After the debate at the Reagan library, Trump had a fit. He complained that 3 hours was loo long to be on his feet, and that it was too hot. I think the stage was elevated so as to align with Air Force One in the background. Then he skipped the next debate. And then he took credit for “negotiating” a cut in debate length to 2 hours, from 3. He was very impressed with himself. He made it sound like all the contestants and the audience all wanted to get the hours cut but that only he could negotiate it.

So, Dems, turn the heat up, and make it 3 hours!

Exactly r32, this whole going high when they go low is not working. When John Kerry snapped “are you serious?” at that cousin fuckin’ cracker, he actually curved. Miss Maxine snarling at Liverlips was great. More of that, less politeness. It’s not working and stupid aggressive people like Dumpanzees only respond to people fucking them up.

Hope the fat fuck strokes out on live tv

I prefer he does it in his sleep so no one is there to help him R34

[quote]I'm also of the mind that he's starting to have mini-strokes. Unfortunately, my fear is that I doubt he'll have one that will noticeably incapacitate him until after he's re-elected.

We also have to remember that Reagan was already fading mentally in 1984 when he ran for re-election and yet he still got elected to a 2nd term.

So if Reagan can get away with it, so can Trump.

There won't be any debates. He'll claim they're rigged by the Dems or the fake news media and refuse to participate.

Reagan's Son: Dad Had Alzheimer's While President

I agree that he he won’t participate in any debates ever again

Nancy Reagan Prompts President Reagan:

It's all irrelevant in way, in the sense, like Lenin or Hitler or Mao or Kim.

Trump at this point, even more than 2016, is more or less just a figurehead surfing Punch puppet upon definite and significant groundswells of fear,anxiety and discontent legitimately out there among legions of supporters (followers).

I sense it growing shfting too now

This zeitgeist mindset and shift seems palpably different and has moved on somehow from Reagan or each of the Bushes type reflection of a classical (Republican) political loyaty.

Their WILL be a more sophisticated version of everything Trump preens and puffs himself on. There's not going to be some figurehed Gorbachev, Justin, Nelson, Jacinda, AOC movement by way of relief or legitimate change from all this at some point near or distant term.

This horrific reality now meets mechanisms, pundits and powerbrokers that actively or surreptitiously stoke, feed or fund it.

Look at Europe, same thing's happening.

Fourth Estate and forward looking Rationalists and those that know History are now at the point of more or less of just sitting on the side-lined beach building sandcastles on shifting sands while these populists and their henchpeople at the same trough are swimming and dog-paddling behind as Trump I(Putin - Erdogan, Netanyahu etc ) comfortably ride powerful waves and swells of ignorance and very human edgy panicked notions and emotions wanting, nay needing and craving 'leadership' that's 'strong' and so perceived regardless of its actuality (or even promised outcomes).

It's too hard or fearful for most to genuinely comprehend outcomes in years ahead of much which many demographics and in different walks of life daily face or look ahead to. It's like populations are kiddies wanting the bedtime stories and Santa to sort out some new dawn of joy and present fucking relief.

It is same as reasonng someone who believes in God say, that person CANNOT be dissuaded from their path or that belief just as the opposing athiest cannot: it's too key to their ontological identity, selfhood.

It takes apostasy or major breakdown to shift either mindset in any meaningful way, if at all, or it only abates and slightly evolves for (ontologic) survival.

Reality is worldwide its become a cultural turf war swirling around (economic) livelihoods for individuals rich and poor together alongside organisations, countries and corporate behemoths with those very same concerns.

2020 or 2024 if we're talking just USA won't really shift that anyway is my take.

It's like post WW1/ WWW2/ Glasnost and now say, loss of NATO or EC and traditional alliances are all now shifting and morphing up for grabs once again. Who knows where we'll end up at this point?

Trumpians and anyone following on from 2020/2024 will STILL be surfing that.

TL: DR we're kinda fucked, and the only thing knitting us together are at least the structural checks and balances of nation states in place (and only some countries).

"This is a vast state, it’s a vast area. You look at it, the state’s tremendous,” said Trump, who seemed genuinely stunned that Texas occupied a large land area. “I come from New York. You have Fifth Avenue and that connects you to Park Avenue, its not too far away, but this is hundreds of miles between places.”

^ Huh?

The huh was meant for R41

If only had a dime for every time you were blocked, R7. Bye bye.

[quote] R37: There won't be any debates. He'll claim they're rigged by the Dems or the fake news media and refuse to participate.

Then you give the entire hour or 3 hours to the Democrat to speak and answer questions.

"They’re very expensive fences, but they don’t want to go through the process of going through the fences, so, again, they wait until the fence is open, the gate is open. They wait at the gate and they kill people,” said Trump. “They want to take the truck, a lot of times they don’t even want to go to the house, they want to steal the truck. So you always go to the gate in doubles. It’s been going on for many years, it’s coming up, I’m bringing it out,” Trump continued. “And these people are coming into our country, some are dying during the walk. Many of those people I’ll bet are very good people, but some are dying during the walk. Many, many have died. That is what surprised me.”

“Okay, you’ve been watching the president down there in Texas,” said host Dana Perino cutting back to the studio.

R41 is clearly having his own series of mini strokes.

Dementia

Dementia

Dementia

R43/44 -yes *maybe* I veered into incoherence myself there? But I read R5 and agree. I DO thank, in a way, at this point, even amid an onstage Debates stroke out, that Trump IS irrelevant.

There's more at play and it's not just reflectected by the present state of US politics - it's elsewhere in the world now. That populism so sneered at has real currency at this point;. it's being seized upon and in some countries now exploited quite deliberately and skilfully.

Call me ignorant myself if you wish, but I feel like what I said at R41 has grounds.

Hopefully if he has a major stroke it's just before the election.

^^ oh dear my phone txt certainly had strokes of incoherence with monkey thumbs anyways.

Somebody's GOT to do the mercy killing.

It's better than veering into incontinence!

Hell, I’d be satisfied if his limo veered off a cliff.

It could be like a soap opera ... one unexpected plunge down some stairs at the White House. Or an elevator freefalling at Trump Tower.

He is terrifying, and the crazy fucking republicans who are protecting him and profiting off of his horrible, racist agenda are terrifying. I feel hopeless and worried about his impact on our country. Something has to stick. He seems to get away with crazy shit.

So like he needs someone to speak for him, so like that's why I'm like gonna be a lawyer and all, right? I've already been under his desk, so I'm like totally Kwalafied!

But but but Trump won’t be any worse than KILLARY as president!

Disappointed in Mueller.

Me too. I don't know what I was expecting but I feel depressed and let down. We need a hero, a whistle blower, somebody who can deliver truth, but even then, his idiot base will stay with him.

Ministrokes my ass. DRUGS.

Mini-strokes are also known as TIAs (transient ischemic attacks)--the beginnings of a kind of dementia called vascular dementia. My mother died of that after 7 years. Doesn't necessarily lead to stroking out, just progressive loss of functions--she broke her ankle and never got out of the wheelchair, just forgot how to walk. It seems like he's going downhill pretty fast mentally. Getting even more unreal folks...

Did this happen at the 'closed door' fundraiser, to which, presumably, Fox News only was invited to cover? No other reports seem to have surfaces on this. Have we become inured to his behaviour?

He’s getting fatter and more puffy in the face too. Looking and sounding more unhealthy all the time.

I thought he had that vacant look that very old people get. I mean, 80 or 90 year olds.

Technically, he’s old enough to go anytime. He just needs a little push.

r56: You mean like this?

He needs to be given a fucking great shove! Wary of saying this, but I'm surprised there have been no reported attempts on his life.

Wonder if we'll get a Stalin scenario.

(papa Joe was found one morning on the floor having had a massive stroke overnight, but still alive. The guards closed his bedroom door, locked the door and didn't come back until three days later.)

I actually can actually grasp some of what R41 is stating and yes things have been globally set into motion a post -Trumpian political arena that will be difficult to unravel.

Tony Schwartz posted this on Twitter a little while ago:

[quote]Trump will do anything & everything possible to command dictatorial and authoritarian powers comparable to Putin and Kim Jong-Un. He will stop at nothing if he thinks he can get away with it. He will do anything to prevail. We are at unimaginable risk.

The Death of Stalin was a great film. Crazy funny and true!

The Death of Trump

He just said this about Brexit. He clearly has no idea what's going on. Imagine how many times Merkel has tried to explain it to him.

[quote] Too bad that the European Union is being so tough on the United Kingdom and Brexit. The E.U. is likewise a brutal trading partner with the United States, which will change. Sometimes in life you have to let people breathe before it all comes back to bite you!

Yes R72, LOVED that film.

[quote]“I come from New York. You have Fifth Avenue and that connects you to Park Avenue, it's not too far away...."

I come from New York too and Fifth Avenue does NOT connect you to Park Avenue. They run parallel!

Trump is not the issue. He could not do jack shit if the fucking fascist republicans stopped him. McConnell, koch bros, et al are using him to destroy democracy.

[quote]come from New York too and Fifth Avenue does NOT connect you to Park Avenue. They run parallel!

I know right? There are so many fascinating tiers to his idiocy.

I thought maybe they changed the street grid in Manhattan since I moved to the west coast.

SMOCKING!

Exactly, r77. Every day I hate the Republicans more.

Thoughts & prayers.

I would be scared of the border if I lived in San Antonio as well. It’s only a 150 miles away. So close. 😂

I bet SHE is loving this!!!

That reminds me of MIss Candace Owens trying to use biggity words in Congress yesterday after Ted Lieu read her to filth, and she was just imprecise to the point of incoherence.

He's the only thing keeping us from President Pence.

[quote]Trump is not the issue. He could not do jack shit if the fucking fascist republicans stopped him.

Yup.

Carl Bernstein has made this observation several times during the CNN panels this year.

He said that compared to the Republican Party he covered in the 1970's during the Nixon-Watergate era, there are far fewer Republicans today who are willing to hold the President to account.

He’s makes perfect sense, snowflakes! He’s saying it like it is. We all get to hide our taxes and vomit adultery as long as we do it in public

Thanks R70!

I admit my elder gen frustrion was showing and overwrought and came off rather cray cray fer sure.

*You however more eloquently expressed my general gist. 🍸

He's a clone.. breaking down.

I think it's just your terrible writing, R41.

Didn't these signs of dementia start when he had to be lead back to his limo because he started wandering off in a different direction?

R22 He won't debate anyone. I remember stories in '16 about how much he hated it, hated the prep & memorizing facts. And given how much we know about his shenanigans now that we didn't know then, he won't subject himself to tough questions and accusations.

He has to know he's slipping. He won't want to look like a complete fool.

Maybe R41 is stroking out.

As I recall, Trump never really referenced facts in the debates. He was all bluster, and nothing else. He made up names for people, invented accusations, interrupted, complained, bragged, expressed anger, but there was no substance.

Nancy recently said it was impossible to negotiate over the recent budget/shutdown, because you need to have a set of agreed-upon facts on which to build, and she implied that Trump simply was not thinking rationally. Plus, Trump has a negotiating tactic of getting to a certain point, and then taking two steps back and revisiting settled matters. He simply wears-down the opposition in the hopes that they concede additionally out of exhaustion. Hitler used the same tactic when negotiating over the Sudetenland.

He’s hard to debate because he doesn’t care how ignorant he is, and his base considers discussion using “facts” to be unfair “gotcha” questions.

Is that what we are calling narcarssistic personality disorders.

Who is everyone kidding. He will debate, because it's his moment in front of a national audience. To not do so would seem like a defeat. He will insult, spew untruths and upstage anyone on stage with him. And the "liberal media" will let him get away with it.

Agree, R97. They'll gleefully cover every insult and lie and talk of NOTHING but him until he's re-elected. Oh, I suppose they might throw in a few terrible things to say about the front runner who opposes him, but most of what they'll report on will be Trump, Trump and more Trump.

If Trump can't or won't run in 2020 (health reasons, primaried, decides to resign and claim himself winner of everything) we may be incredibly screwed.

There are a lot of independents and old-fashioned Republicans who won't vote for Trump but WILL vote for Pence or some other "moderate" Republican who is really just another figurehead willing to push the country as far right as possible.

R92, when we had that period of a few weeks where Trump was wandering off stage and past his own limo, I noticed it all of a sudden stopped getting reported on. I really feel like the media decided to stop pursuing that and start covering for him.

r99 I HIGHLY doubt the RNC will let him be primaried

The clip of his incoherence is seriously disturbing. Has it been widely discussed on other news outlets? Because they should be running this daily and White House press should persistently ask about it.

Smoke and mirrors...while he rambles, Mitch and his minions plot.

I think the media props him up to an extent because he’s more profitable as a viable villain.

I hate Trump with the heat of a million suns but after watching the video, I thought it was no big deal.

Stronger stuff will be needed to take him down in 2020 or before.

R103, not to detrail the thread, but I watched Jay Inslee on CNN last night. He said the same thing. As long as McConnell is in control, it doesn't matter who the president is in 2020.

I don't care about trumps health. I hope he's in pain and I hope he suffers.

The best King / president is the idiot King / president. The real power lies in the hands of his advisors, and the hidden owners of those advisors.

Agreed, r107. Trump is the new Reagan.

JOHN KERRY for President. Seriously.

more Kerry.

POLITICO link

Kerry came to the campus where I work 2 or 3 years ago and spoke. He should have been president years ago and I would vote for him again without hesitation.

I despised Reagan, but even he looks ok in comparison with the great orange shitstsin. Even demented/eaten up with Alzheimer's, he's better than Chump. When George W Bush seems intelligent when compared with someone, they have a very sad state of affairs! It would be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking tragic!

Is this the Official Stroke Prayer Circle? Please add to the membership.

*me.

I like my candidates heroic, smart and dull. I do not need or seek charisma. I also think Kerry has very little time for bullshit. He's a mensch.

His wife is bitchy but at this point I don’t care.

Love Kerry but NOPE.

[quote] Love Kerry but NOPE.

Because...?

I heard Kerry’s wife has dementia, so she’s out of play.

That guy who challenged Kerry was seriously stupid.

Saw clips of Trump speaking yesterday on MSNBC last night (Wed, April 10) and he seemed lucid enough, normal Trump speak. Maybe his ravings are connected to occasional ODs of whatever shit he's taking--Adderall, etc. Not to say that he isn't likely in beginning stages of dementia--but BS like him saying father born in Germany and oranges/origins, could also be just one of his distraction tricks. Scaramucci said last week that Trump liked lying because "it was fun." Hard to know what to believe. Just want him gone.

R119, too old. Past his time and prime. I voted for him of course. And respect him greatly.

I really think it's something going on with his dentures. I think it reads incoherent because he's probably concentrating so hard on keeping his teeth in his head, he fumbles his words. He really is a pathetic asshole.

[quote] [R119], too old. Past his time and prime. I voted for him of course. And respect him greatly.

And who do you support for the nominee, then?

Sadly, if you Google 'Trump' and 'incoherent' you'll see that yesterday's jumble of idiotic nonsense was nothing new.

I’m also thinking that he won’t debate in 2020 with the Dems. Any of the candidates could kick his ass in a debate so he’ll make up some reason why debates are bad and not participate.

It's ritalin / adderal abuse. Wrong dosage for a wrong amount of time, it makes you confused in your speech.

R127, Hillary kicked his ass in the debates, so I doubt that's something he worries about. The problem is the press sets the bar so low for him (and he knows it) that he'll get good coverage for a bad performance. So, I can totally see him continue to do debates.

R125, I’m open to hearing more about the rest — of which there are zillion, I know. NOT a Bernie or Gabbard fan. Of course if Kerry were the nominee, I would support. Perhaps he’d be a good VP also (like Biden was).

Wtf are the democrats doing letting this toxic fool stay in office? This infuriates me even more than the toxic toadstool.

[quote] Wtf are the democrats doing letting this toxic fool stay in office?

What exactly do you think they can do?

Exactly R132. R131 is almost as stupid as Trump.

[quote] Today: Wikileaks is not my thing. -DJT

“Not my thing”? Mr. articulate again explains in such a general, vague way, that this might mean anything.

"I love Wikileaks!" DJT, 2016 more than once.

R135: 145 times, to be more precise.

Maybe he’ll forget who it is and just go to Russia. Uncle flag probably has a cinderblock hotel for him to stay at with some padded walls.

[quote]Kerry came to the campus where I work 2 or 3 years ago and spoke. He should have been president years ago and I would vote for him again without hesitation.

Kerry obviously deserved to become President over Bush in 2004. American voters were very foolish to choose Bush over Kerry.

But Kerry is 75 now and it would also be very unusual for a Presidential nominee to run again 15 years after he ran the first time.

For me, 2004 rivals 2016 as far as incredible disappointment and sorrow regarding the presidential race. Kerry is perhaps THE most qualified individual on the planet to hold the office of President. What the Republicans did to Kerry was an abomination. In fact I need a new word for abomination to reflect the despicable, dirty, disgusting race Bush and Karl Rove ran. May Karl Rove Roy in eternity when he reaches his maker.

^ May Karl Rove ROT...

Donald's father died of dementia.

Just want to put that out there

It has been asserted that Trump has signs of some degree of an early stage of dementia, constituting an inability to consistently remember facts, or respond appropriately to circumstances of his surroundings. Setting the Goldwater rule aside, Charles Pierce's commentary of Trump's Rose Garden speech on February 15, 2019 describes an example of organic brain disease.In addition, he has claimed erroneously that his father was born in Germany, and stumbled repeatedly over the word "origins" in an interview, until he settled without correcting himself on "oranges". An MRI study of the president's brain would be definitive in establishing a diagnosis.

Interesting... a lot of people point out the longevity of Dump’s father, but what if he (dump’s father) was like Reagan and got dementia much earlier. Reagan had dementia for years—didn’t he die in his 90s?

It’s not called the long goodbye for nothing r143.

His father died at age 93. His mother at age 88.

His father suffered from Alzheimers for the last six years of his life.

But unfortunately Trump has longevity on both sides of his family, R145. So he may be around for quite a while yet.

R145, that’s the public story, right? What if the private story was different? What if he had signs in his 70s? We’ll never know I guess.

Memory loss is the symptom most closely associated with Alzheimer’s. While Trump famously forgets the names of people (as he did recently when he called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple”) and places (as when he called Paradise, California, “Pleasure”), one could make allowances for such gaffes. More troubling, Michael Wolff reported in "Fire and Fury" that at the end of 2017, Trump failed to recognize "a succession of old friends" at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump, 72, seemed to hit a new inflection point last week when he said, “My father is German. Right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany.” In fact, his father was born in the Bronx and it was his grandfather who was from Germany.

Dementia Care International says a "person may start to mix up relationships and generations” in the second stage of dementia.

[quote]For me, 2004 rivals 2016 as far as incredible disappointment and sorrow regarding the presidential race.

Agreed, R139.

The result of the 2004 election was appalling.

It accelerated America's decline at home & abroad. Obama helped restore the U.S. for a while, but now Trump & the GOP are accelerating America's decline again.

R146- But were Trump's parents both obese? You can have parents who live long lives but if you're obese and decide that KFC is one of the 4 major food groups, I don't think good genes are going to help you very much.

There's definitely something mentally wrong with him. When they were signing the new NAFTA, Trudeau had to show him where to sign and he seemed totally confused about what to do. He's had too many episodes like that.

R150, I don't know what effect the obesity will have on Trump.

But keep in mind that as President, Trump has the best medical care available. That's one of the reasons why the last 4 or 5 Presidents and the last 4 or 5 First Ladies have lived into their 90's.

I hate him and will curse the assholes who voted for him for the rest of my life.

R151- Yes, but isn't it kind of different with Trump? I could see the best medical care helping him if he was on board with following doctor's advice but I find it hard to believe that a qualified doctor didn't tell him he had to change his diet and lose weight--would he have said "Okay, give me a diet plan and I'll follow it" or "Fuck you, I'll eat what I damn well please". When a team is invited to the WH and Trump decides to lay out a table full of hamburgers and fries, it's kind of obvious what his mindset is about healthy eating.

Or it could be that doctors already realize what they're up against and they simply tell him what he wants to hear.

He's 6'3" and 230 pounds. He is a stable genus with the best words. He's sending out coded messages to his Quan(?) supporters. He has to send the messages like this to bypass the deep state.

We are owning the libtards, guys!!!! We are winning.

R152, but isn't that what Trump wants? He wants people to hate him. He wants us to consume our energies with our anger towards him.

He likes to trigger what political scientists call "anger points". It benefits him when we pull our hair out over him every day.

Look I loathe the orang shitstain but I doubt anyone is “tearing their hair out over him”.

R154, sad isn't it, that the "libtards" would do more to make America great than trump ever could. Thanks to Fox news and all the other lying propagandists who con the base, we're losing our democracy.

I blame reality television. ALL REALITY TELEVISION. Because, it is not real.

How can you enjoy eating the same shit food for 70 years? A hamburger and fries is fine, but eating them every day? 🤮

Not to mention that the Adderall or diet pills or whatever low-grade/primo speed he's on plays havoc with blood pressure.

He's 70 years old and obese. He never exercises - golfing hardly counts. He eats crap food. His body doesn't care if he's President or not. The odds are high that he's going to end up with some kind of catastrophic health problem.

Oh honey. To get the best medical care in the world you have to let the doctor examine you. You seriously think he's getting a real, straightforward medical examination?

The last two doctors were pill pushers.

The fact that his sorry ass survives on McDonalds, 2 scoops of ice cream a night, KFC, along with snorting lines of adderall, is a testament to his complete worthlessness. The devil protects his own.

I saw a clip of him talking with Ivanka standing behind him the other day. She looked terrified, like he might act up at any minute.

I bet he ends up grabbing her implants in public at some point and calls her Ivana. It’s that generational mixup thing. My dad used to confuse my mom with my sister towards the end. He wondered why my sister (mom, in reality) had him trapped in his own home and she wouldn’t leave.

Trump really looks like he’s having a TIA here. Look at his face. He was supposed to stay put for pictures, but stumbled off.

He won't just grab Ivanka's implants, he'll start suckling...That's probably how they get him to log off Twitter, and to go to bed every night

Stop whining, you liberal snowflakes, incoherence is the new normal.

Yeah, R165, I saw that and noticed at the time, too. I think you’re right.

[quote]When they were signing the new NAFTA, Trudeau had to show him where to sign and he seemed totally confused about what to do.

R150, do we have a link to the video of Trudeau showing Trump where to sign?

Teump's been calling Ivanka "baby" at cabinet meetings. I can only wonder if she's ever had to change daddy's adult diaper during one.

Oh please please please please please....

This line is PRICELESS!

Oops, mini stroke me - forgot to post the line!

“I come from New York. You have Fifth Avenue and that connects you to Park Avenue, its not too far away, but this is hundreds of miles between places.”

[quote] R169: When they were signing the new NAFTA, Trudeau had to show him where to sign and he seemed totally confused about what to do.

No link, but I saw that, too. Though, what I saw was that Trump signed on the wrong line. Trump said something about being lucky there were three copies, and Trudeau told Trump something like “we each get a copy”., with contempt in his voice.

There’s been no effort to bring that treaty to the senate to be ratified, has there? Everybody is probably hoping it dies quietly.

I think everybody agrees the treaty needs to be tweaked, as itis 20 years later, but nobody wants the baby-in-charge to have anything to do with it.

Trump is the same now as he was during the 2016 campaign. The only difference is that we hear his crazy shit all the time.

I’m really upset about the Attorney General intent on investigating the alleged spying on Trump’s campaign. They can’t investigate things just because Trump, without evidence, makes an allegation.

[quote]No link, but I saw that, too. Though, what I saw was that Trump signed on the wrong line. Trump said something about being lucky there were three copies, and Trudeau told Trump something like “we each get a copy”., with contempt in his voice.

I think the thing with Trump is that sometimes it's difficult to know whether these things are as a result of a mental decline like dementia, or whether it's because he had no prior experience in government so he doesn't really understand what is going on.

He spent his life as a sleazy businessman, tabloid celebrity and reality t.v. star.

He gets that weird blank look on his face in R165’s clip too. Reminds me of my mom’s when she was in the middle stages of dementia.

Other than become a democrat, I don’t think he can do anything that his followers wouldn’t forgive. ANYTHING!

Yup, R179. And he knows that, too.

He's known it since 3 years ago during the GOP primaries when he made that infamous comment about being able to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.

brutal, r164!

Trump reveals his incestuous desires for Ivanka on 'The View':

[quote]-but BS like him saying father born in Germany and oranges/origins, could also be just one of his distraction tricks. Scaramucci said last week that Trump liked lying because "it was fun." Hard to know what to believe.

I usually mute the TV when he's speaking, but I made a point of watching Rachel Maddow that night because she led off with the story. Both of my parents had/have dementia (dad with Parkinson's related dementia and mom with Alzheimer's) and I recognized that unmistakable look of confusion and knowing something is amiss, but not knowing how to correct it. His voice even wavered the second or third time he said "oranges"

He has the uncanny ability to appear competent and in control no matter what. His voice is commanding and monotone, and people are like, "Well, I guess he knows what he's doing- he's a genius billionaire". When reports are that behind the scenes it's chaos, punctuated by tantrums and shouting matches.

If he was on the Titanic he'd convince people to go back to bed: help is on the way.

FIFY:

[quote]If he was on the Titanic he'd convince people to go back to bed: help is on the way so he could get a lifeboat for himself.

Yup. This is part of the problem. He knows how to use his size & presence to dominate the space.

I've been reading Hillary Clinton's book, "What Happened", and when she reviewed the debates she had with Trump, she admitted he knows how to upstage people. He takes over the space, uses his body language and other antics to get away with it.

Eg. during the debate when he was creeping around behind Hillary while she spoke to a voter.

If you use your eyes to see and ears to hear you quickly realize he is nothing but a fucking fraud ffs.

Interesting about him using his size and knowing how to take up space. Maybe that is why his body language was so striking when he came out with Putin in Helsinki. He seemed completely cowed.

Trump just issued the words "We hereby demand” in his latest tweet.

Who does Trump think he is? Queen Elizabeth I?

Chris Cillizza CNN:

To be totally fair he did pay for them, so.

Jared married Ivanka so he could wear her clothes when she's not around. They're the same size.

Is that why Ivanka would rather fuck Justin Trudeau, R192?

[quote]Who does Trump think he is? Queen Elizabeth I?

Sara Sanders talked about everything Trump had done during his "reign" within the last week or two. They are not even pretending to play by the rules anymore. Trump now openly talks about Don Jr. being involved with politics. No surprise, they completely thumb their nose at the limits to their power and ignore things they said earlier or lie about it.

[quote]I recognized that unmistakable look of confusion and knowing something is amiss, but not knowing how to correct it.

Absolutely. My dad gave me those looks when he was explaining an episode of Andy Griffith like it was a local crime story he saw on the news. He was moving in and out of a mental fog.

The problem with old folks is the dementia creates frustration and fear, and that panic manifests itself negatively, especially in someone as vile as Trump. I think that like drinking, it exacerbates behavior that a sober person can control. Trump didn’t give a fuck before, so I seriously doubt it will get better. Can’t wait to watch his inevitable decline. He’s earned every moment of suffering for all the pain and chaos he has fomented.

My grandmother is just mean and vindictive, and that has only increased with age and declining health. She was recently in the hospital, so I sent flowers and wished her a Happy Easter and a speedy recovery. But there is no way in hell I am calling her.

The thing that stands out to me is how he will focus on a word and repeat that word over and over again or repeat the same phrase a number of times in a short period of time.

[quote]I think that like drinking, it exacerbates behavior that a sober person can control.

This is absolutely correct.

When I was talking to my doctor recently about advice on how to deal with my grandparents' dementia, he told me the same thing. Having dementia often increases and intensifies a person's preexisting personality traits.
