Donald Trump is not cognitively well at all…
We know he does not know what he is talking about; but what does he even think he is talking about?:
Donald Trump: ‘You look at our airports where flights are being delayed four days where people are pitching tents in an airport because their flight is so, you know, it's never gonna even happen. We've never seen anything like it. And we’ve become like, you know, we, we are a failing nation where we've become a third world nation in many ways. Our elections are third world in my opinion, our airports are being run so badly, it's so badly. It's not even conceivable. People go the other night I had somebody going to the airport and they called up two days later to tell me that they've never gotten out. I said, but where are you still at the airport?…
Just think what the media reaction would be if Joe Biden were to claim he needed to go upstairs to deal with something outside his executive powers:
George Conway: Okay, guys, *now* can we have a full-blown discussion in the mainstream media about Donald Trump’s mental health?: Acyn: “Setoodeh: ‘Trump seemed to think he still had some foreign policy powers. There was one day where he told me he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan even though he clearly didn’t…
The “dementia” part here is Trump’s inability to think: When did Joan Rivers die? I should not lie about her personally telling me that she had voted for me until I get a chance to check that:
Keith Edwards: ‘Here's the clearest sign of Donald Trump's dementia: he says Joan Rivers voted for him. She died in 2014… <https://www.threads.net/@keithedwards/post/C8dPD6AJzVg>
Just think what the media reaction would be if Joe Biden were to confuse Kamala Harris with Nancy Pelosi just once:
Jay Kuo: Trump’s Brain Is Not Okay: ‘An Ivy League graduate who once “tossed off well-turned phrases” had fallen to a 4th-grade level of speech. The MOCA dementia screening test that Trump brags about passing is slated to the mental age of a kindergartener (“Show me the picture of the lion?). Only a few grades to go…. More alarming is… [the] multiple former members of his administration [who] report being shocked that “he’s not the same person he was.”… Not only will Trump continue to get worse and worse, his rate of decline is accelerating, and if he is typical, he will fall off what they call the “cognitive cliff” relatively soon….
Forgetting names and dates is normal for people who are aging, like Joe Biden, and me, and millions of others. By stark contrast… “confusing people and generations” is a sign of advanced dementia. And this is the type of profound memory disturbance we’re seeing in Trump…. Trump confuse[s] Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi…. He’s said he’s running against Obama. How often does he say and think it in private?… Trump said it plainly, over and over. He didn’t look like he was joking (does he ever?) and said literally nothing to suggest he was referring to some Biden-Obama cabal. The more plausible explanation is that once again we are watching the workings of his demented mind in real time….
What happens to a nation when its chief executive has lost his capacity for executive functioning? Michael Wolff wrote that Trump not infrequently failed to recognize old friends. I don’t mean he forgot their names. He acted as if he’d never seen them before in his life. If you’ve ever had a relative with dementia you know how heartbreaking that stage of decline can be—to have to remind a loved one of who you are… <https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/john-gartner-trump-cognitive-decline>
Just think what the media reaction would be if Joe Biden were to go on a demented incoherent ramble like this just one time:
Donald Trump: ‘It's such a question I do get a lot. It's such an interesting question. I've met with pilots that look just like you, actually.... These are perfect people. And they're not conspiratorial. They're not crazy.
And they tell me stories that they've seen things that you wouldn't believe.... So I met with pilots, like beautiful Tom Cruise, but taller. Handsome, perfect people. "Sir there was something there that was round in form and going like four times faster than my super jet fighter plane". And I look at these guys and they really mean it. And am I a believer? No. I probably I can't say I am. But I have met with people that are serious people that say there's some really strange things that they see flying around out there. And you know, if you go to Nevada and you look at that little section of where they go to look at the aliens, where they think all the aliens are landing, that you know, it's one of maybe the number one tourist attraction in the United States. Roswell?... I have access... and I speak to people about it. I've had actually meetings on it. And they will tell you there's something going on. When they say things, things are going four times faster than my beautiful top of the line airplane that goes, you know, real fast. With no identifiable propulsion system.... They have that are very smart and very solid have said they believe there is something out there. And, you know, it makes sense that there could be...…
Just think what the media reaction would be if Joe Biden were to go on a demented incoherent ramble like this just one time:
Donald Trump: ’It must because of MIT, my relationship to MIT, very smart, he goes, I say, “What would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you’re in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery’s now under water, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?”—by the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that? Lotta shark attacks—I watched some guys justifying it today, ‘Well they weren’t really that angry, they bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were… not hungry but they misunderstood who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said, ‘there’s no problem with sharks, they just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming,’ no, really got decimated and other people too, a lot of shark attacks.
So I said, ‘There’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards, or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. he said, “You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.” I said, “I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water.”
But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that, we’re going to end it for boats, we’re going to end it for trucks… <jefftiedrich.com/p/donald-trump-is-a-gi…>
Is Trump more like Rosanne Rosanadanna or Emily Litella? Discuss amongst yourselves.
What the hell is he talking about?
