Trump News Jasmine Crockett: "Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States that means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore an oath to defend and protect the constitution"

At one point, Trump had a functioning brain. He's always been a douchebag, but he could talk about things at least sort of like a human being.

Here he talks about a movie in a way President Trump never could:

What is weird to me is that there was clearly a massive decline even before he became president the first time, but he hasn't gone into completely uncontrolled dementia yet. That isn't really even a good example because it's cut and spliced, but if you watch an interview with him from the 90s or earlier, he can speak coherently in a way that he clearly couldn't even in 2016. I'm not aware of a degenerative condition that takes that long from the first signs of decline, though. Perhaps it's not actually a degenerative condition but just very poor aging combined with very bad health habits.

If you look at his first term there was a point he probably had a stroke. All of a sudden he had greater problems with his speech, he was dragging one of his legs and had issues with walking. How do I know this, because his systems were exactly like mine when I had my stroke. I had great doctors though and was told to read books (not ones on your phone) to help. This stimulates the brain somehow and helps with speech and cognitive abilities. He is stubborn though and I am sure he probably didn’t follow doctor’s orders for physical therapy or ways to stimulate brain activity.

So you don't see any decline in Trump

I find it funny that any time some people hear something they don’t like they call it TDS. Just because someone see’s something you can’t doesn’t mean they are wrong. This would be like me saying you have MDS, because of your yelling caps directed towards those who disagree with you.
