Declining Dementia Don part 2

 Aging, Slurring Trump ‘Lives in Fear’ of Dad’s Dementia

Donald Trump “lives in fear” of suffering the same cognitive decline his father did, according to a brutal assessment by an MSNBC guest.

The political analyst, speaking on the second installment of the show after its debut on Saturday, said the president’s motivation has always been either “self-aggrandizement” or “self-preservation.”

However, the 78-year-old’s vitality has visibly waned and he is acutely aware of his mortality, the panelist added. “As I was watching that clip, you know, one of the things that really struck me is, Donald Trump has aged,” he said.

He’s had it for a while. It’s gradual and not an instant switch. It’s hard to tell because of his megalomania, but his cognitive function and seeking revenge for petty/imagined slights have gotten worse. The weird swaying and singing with the crowd. It reminds me of both my uncle and grandfather who died with dementia. Even his tweets remind me of the structure and content of my uncles anti-Obama Facebook posting from the early 2010s.

You can see the decline in speech since 2016. Now he always says “uhhhhhhhhh” between words a lot more.

He also is conscience enough about it to dial up the bullshit to hide it.

You should read the transcript of his Time Magazine interview from last week. When you read his words, they 10x more batshit than listening when your brain kind of fills in what you think he is trying to say. 

He isn’t rehearsing. He clearly has it - look how he is behaving.

He wants to reopen Alcatraz. That makes absolutely no sense at all.
