In reply to the discussion: Richard A. Epstein behind the The Contrarian Coronavirus Theory That Informed the Trump Admin. [View all]Lonestarblue
(9,986 posts)Over the past three years, Ive watched as Trump lurched from one idea to another, often contradicting his own ideas. At one point, I believed that he had early onset dementia, following in his father's footsteps. I now think that his public appearances where he has slurred his words or been unable to recall precise words are related to the excess of drugs he takes to give him enough energy to get through a day. His inability to correctly pronounce words when reading from a teleprompter may well be vision problems as he is too vain to wear glasses and may not be adaptable for contacts.
Those thoughts leave me with one conclusion. We cannot blame his inhumanity and his deliberate cruelty on dementia. Donald Trumps personality and his total lack of concern for anyone but Trump are to blame for how he behaves here and on the world stage. Im sure he believes that any number of deaths are just the price to be paid for his re-election.
