In many ways! He cant keep his mind on one thing for a short period of time. Listening to his phone interview with his boy toy Hannity, he couldnt stay focused and jumped all around. Even Hannity tried to ask questions and Trump ignored those questions. Maybe Trump did that on purpose, but Trump seems confused and lacking the cognitive of the facts. My grandmother who passed away from Alzheimers, had these same issues. I am not a doctor & have bases of his condition, but he is declining and at a rapid pace. If I can see it, why cant those who around him see it?

(22,037 posts)Trump has always been a liar.
Trump has never answered direct questions.
Trump has never had an attention span longer than 30 seconds.
In short, he's just the same insane bullshitter he's always been. Granted, it's not too difficult to see that he's mentally in decline. Still, his overall behavior hasn't changed.
When he loses, his behavior will be epic.

(235 posts)Many keep pointing to the drugs - the drugs may be keeping him from death - but the ignorant dumb-ass-ed-ness, that's all him and has been from day 1, so not sure that's the drugs
FDT!

(14,491 posts)The same applies to the Senate and Trump's Cabinet who are sill busy behind the curtain grinding away to destroy our government.
They also don't seem to care that our government is increasingly dysfunctional for every day this situation continues.
"They" here also includes the hidden rich and powerful in industry, banking and finance that control the strings of these right-wing populist elected puppets.
And that's an insane load of shit to write even before my first cup of coffee!........

(46,104 posts)reminds me of my father's last year. My father made friends with a neighbor across the street. He was about two years older than me. The neighbor often ate breakfast with Dad. They watched Morning Joe together and did political trash talk.
But what I remember is how the neighbor would constantly remark about how together Dad was for his age. Physically, cognitively, etc. and how remarkable that was. But it was just the opposite to reality. My father let six months of bills go unpaid despite my offer to draft checks for him to sign. Dad shouldn't have been driving as he got into regular fender-benders. For conversation, all Dad could do was repeat many times the last zinger he heard on FOX News.
I'd want to scream every time the neighbor would say how on top of things my father was.
Postscript: Dad died. His Will disinherited me and my siblings. He left the neighbor $35,000.

(2,453 posts)and also.... When elderly people get sick like this, infections and what not, it takes a huge toll on the body and mental status.... akin to getting a Mike Tyson style punch to the head and there is little recovery from this. If we haven't been in 25 amendment territory before, we certainly should be now.
