Actual reason Hope Hicks is being brought back to WH is due to Trump's declining mental state

[kpete]

This is 100% true. You can take it to the bank. Dementia is dominating everything w/ Trump now. What’s sickening are his enablers thinking Hope Hicks can buy them more time. He needs to be removed & receive neurological evaluation & caregiver assistance that eases his decline.

Was just told by one of my contacts that the actual reason why Hope Hicks is being brought back to the WH is due to Trump’s declining mental state.

Sorry, that was really gross...

26. LOL!

I thought it was clever.

40. I think he's beyond that these days. She brings golden memories? n/t

let me give you a hand. eeewwwwww

The implications of this, if it's true, are momentous.

3. And to pull the train.

It hasn't been the same without her.

4. I agree with Tom Joseph on this...

45 is raging around the White House, breaking the china and they have to bring in the "Trump Whisperer".
I do think he has senile dementia. I nursed my dad for years through this, age 65 thru 84, and know exactly what this. looks like.
I think he is probably at the stage where he is having trouble recognizing printed word. I do no think he composes his own tweets either.
He rants and someone else translates, because he does not put sentences together anymore.

[fleur-de-lisa]

5. The 'Trump Whisperer' . . . perfect!

[mmbrevo]

16. Yes, I saw this not too long ago.

He just blurts things out and someone else tweets it for him. He admitted it.

[murielm99]

6. They covered for Reagan.

They will cover for trump.

[Jade Fox]

15. But Reagan was controlable.......

He was quiet, and did his 'jovial granddad' thing on que. He had Alzheimer's. They nursed him through the end of his term. Still, a lot of people figured out what was going on.

Trump's problem is a lot harder to hide.

[Ahpook]

30. Righto

I'm co-caregiver for our mother with dementia. She acts nothing like this Trump guy. There may be different stages or it acts differently on others.

All I see is an arrogant POS that lies constantly and it is eating him up. Can you imagine being on an international stage and being a fucking asshole like him?

The position he has shifted into has fucked him up mentally, and he already was a jerk to begin with. He now has to cover up ALL the corrupt bullshit he has done for ages.

Maybe I am wrong

[Mme. Defarge]

10. He needs to be declared mentally incompetent by a judge

who would then appoint a legal guardian for him.

[blueinredohio]

11. Now besides steaming his pants is she going to change his depends?

[global1]

12. I'm Sorry - I Can't Buy The Dementia Story While.....

at the same time Trump is methodically dismantling our government - agency and department by agency and department.

This has always bothered me - hearing two stories of a sick man in the WH - while at the same time it looks like he is in complete control of every facet of the destruction he is causing.

He is either sick and has dementia or he is an evil genius in cahoots with Putin and he is methodically destroying our government and ripping up the constitution.

These are on the opposite ends of the spectrum and I'm sorry but I don't think we can have it both ways.

The other explanation is that he is just a 'useful idiot' and the people around him are controlling the destruction and he's just the 'master of ceremonies' of the whole event.

It seems to me if he really is a sick man - that the Repugs in Congress wouldn't be as intimidated and scared of him. That if they wanted to - they can do something to get him off their back and be rid of him. The Senate Repugs had their chance and they chose to give him the free reign to continue to destroy their Party while he is systematically taking apart our government.

What could be this strange hold that he has over his toadies. How can a sick man with dementia completely take over the Party without these so-called powerful House and Senate members of the Party not take the upper hand and either remove him or control him better.

Help me here - does anybody have a rational explanation as to what is going on?

[spooky3]

13. I'm with you. This is part of a plan carried out by people who are financially

dependent on Putin or some organization we don't know about, or who benefit financially and in other ways from Trump's actions (e.g., huge tax cuts, reduced regulations). In a way, it is entirely rational, and it is evil. These people are putting their own perceived short-term self-interest above their duty or to the survival of the country.

I don't think the Repubs are scared of him personally and they know they can gang up and take power from him. Instead, I think they and/or their voting base like the outcomes such as the tax cuts, the cruelty to immigrants, the appointment of RWNJ judges to maintain their power, etc. These Repubs that might not like all of the outcomes fear that their base does, and that they might lose in primaries, or general elections in red states, if they oppose Trump.

Someone else is pulling his strings.

[enough]

18. I agree. Having taken care of both my parents through years of progressive dementia,

What Trump has is something else. There’s no way he could perform his way through those rallies with Alzheimer’s or something similar.

The reason the Republicans don’t stand up to him is simple. He is giving them everything they’ve always wanted in their wildest dreams.

[DeminPennswoods]

48. Yep

The Rs like the policies being implemented (tax cuts, fewer/weaker regulations, judges, defense spending, etc), they just don't like the messanger. That's why it amazes me they didn't vote to convict Trump and go with Pence who would give them the exact same stuff with no drama.

I think Trump's actions are definitely due to a mental illness like malignant narcissism. I think Trump's been this way since birth, but he's older now and it's showing more and more.

[UniteFightBack]

37. Not dementia...Malignant Narcissist Sociopath...plain and simple. nt

39. Putin is methodically dismantling our government.

And the Kremlin is using Kompromat to keep the other Republicans in line.

Trump hogs all the limelight where his increasingly bizarre behaviour is a feature, not a bug, and in the background Russia chips away at our institutions and exacts vengeance against its old counter-intelligence foes like Peter Stzrok and Andy McCabe.

[VOX]

43. Adolph Hitler waged war and killed millions while insane and pumped full of drugs.

I know, I know, HITLER. Obviously, Trump’s not in that league (yet).

But there are similarities— unpopular at first, but accepted over time, the blind loyalty he demanded, the raging outbursts, the cruelty, “knowing” more than his generals, assuming direct command of the military, having millions put to death, etc.

All the while, he was clearly sociopathic and loaded by doctors with dozens of drugs daily. He degenerated quickly, but did unspeakable damage. In the end, he blamed his own people for Germany’s downfall.

[SammyWinstonJack]

53. He's as he always was, evil/petty/vindictive/vengeful and thin skinned

A solid asshole

33. Is this one of those doctored photos? If so, please remove it. It's really scary.

What is our defense against photos and videos like the one of Pelosi tearing up the speach while Trump honors a soldier? We can't participate in this!

[Leghorn21]

35. Not doctored, L - from Lev's stash

36. Thanks for this link. We have to be really careful these days. We are dependent on....

... gatekeepers of the truth like CNN, MSNBC, the NYT, WAPO and the Guardian.

I love following your posts and think you are much kinder than myself...that said I don't want anyone easing ANYTHING for this vicious bastard...As long as we cannot torture him (think "enhanced techniques) or give him solitary in a supermax (think Florence Colorado) then he will suffer less than a soldier with a TBI or a child in an outside cage sleeping on concrete with a space blanket, or a journalist entering a Turkish embassy. He will suffer less than the voters he defrauded or the Kurds he abandoned, or anybody with the moral fiber to testify against him. He has raped women, bankrupted honest contractors and even pushed a fake "university" to screw those who believed in him the most. He's injured too many, too deeply, for too many years and money alone saved him from his just desserts. Soon begins his season of pain and if it is the confusion of dementia that causes it I hope it is horrifying. For the first time I want a human to pray for the sweet release of death.


But perhaps this is just me...

22. The next Mrs trump

23. Never happen, Trump will have the DOJ change the laws

So he can marry his daughter.

[smirkymonkey]

25. Why can't Ivanka or Melania take care of him?

Or anyone else who is already there? Or a health care professional? Why Hope Hicks? This is just very strange. And creepy. I think she is going back because she needs a pardon for something and is desperate to get on his good side.

[catrose]

27. And here I thought she left because she was scared of the legal hot water she was in

inspired by her interviews with Mueller.

And I thought she was coming back because her boss proved that he was king, that there wasn't any such thing as legal problems when you're on his team.

[still_one]

28. Because she has no principles. Anyone who still works for that racist, sexist, bigot has no

principles

[gopiscrap]

29. exactly

[demtenjeep]

31. isn't that kellyann's job?

hum...maybe her hubby is making it harder for kac to keep in dotard's good graces



or maybe she refused to "iron" the fucker's pants

[tandem5]

32. She can tell him tales of badgers.

[NoMoreRepugs]

34. Well, RUMP only has the best people.

[cyclonefence]

41. It may not be anything diagnosable like dementia

but he's clearly getting nuttier and nuttier and angrier and angrier. He's also bringing back Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer, so maybe his handlers think he'll calm down if he's surrounded by people he knew back when he wasn't in so much trouble, or so angry. Familiar faces and people who've had experience dealing with his rages?

[Dorian Gray]

47. He needs a pretty girl

to change his diapers.

[DeminPennswoods]

49. Agree she's probably being brought back

because he likes and trusts her and to help calm him down as she is something of a "trump whisperer".

[ck4829]

50. K&R

[Vinca]

52. She's his Nurse Ratched.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

54. "Glorified Babysitter"...Is she going to change Trumpy's diaper too?

YUCK!

[llmart]

56. He's running out of people who will work for him.

That's the real reason. Plus, his paranoia about who he can trust won't allow him to pick anyone new.
