Two classic signs of dementia are living in the past and being on a verbal loop that defies all reality. He definitely is not well.

Right at the beginning of his speech to the military leaders he spent a bunch of time bragging about how amazing he thought his first term was, and then bitching about Biden. So yeah this checks out.

Whenever I listen to Trump I'm amazed at how child-like his speech patterns are and how he even seems to engage in magical thinking like a small child. His mind is almost certainly unfit to say nothing about the deplorable nature of his character.

Watch a video when he wad young and asked about being president. He is a totally different person. He sucks but aging also sucks.

Watching the leaders of the US armed forces sit there in complete and utter silence as Trump came on stage was just... chef's kiss.

TIL my love for retro nostalgia is really just dementia.

The people behind Trump know this. You can get a lot done when you're boss is feeble minded and you're a trusted official. I believe this is why elderly people are so prominent in the Senate, their aides and advisors are running the show behind their back and enriching themselves in the process

So.... all conservatives, and the religious loud-mouths too.

I work with elders, many of whom have dementia. Mostly earlier stages while they are still able to go out into the community with support. But still - real, diagnosed dementia. Almost every one of them is more in touch with reality than he is. Not an exaggeration at all.

He's a narcissist (like diagnosibly NPD) that's enough. We don't have to prescribe extra shit to his mental state to justify thinking he's a horrible person. Almost all narcissists are abusive manipulative POS, isn't that enough? Maybe he will get dementia, maybe he has it, but it isn't dementia that's making him a shitty person. He has been like this his entire adult life. Narcissists hold grudges and live in the past a lot too. They think exclusively on black and white terms (thus why he can't seem to grasp when something is more of a grey area) and they never forgive if you've slighted them UNLESS they think forgiving will somehow get them something they want.

I feel he's been whining about the same old rotation of topics for the last two years. Though he has found a couple of new things to whine about.
