Will Trump's mental decline steepen so much over the next three years...

...(presuming he doesn't have a heart attack or a stroke) that even his grovelling, sycophantic supporters won't be able to overlook it?

We know they can overlook a LOT. An AWFUL (in more than one sense of that word) LOT.

But as rambling and incoherent as Trump is now, there's still room for him to decline even more. It's hard to guess at what pace that will happen.

Given people who are capable of believing in Q, Trump might be able to just stand in front of a crowd barking and drooling, and half of them would be studiously trying to decode the spittle marks on his tie for Signs and Portents.

1. If he was comatose in bed, somebody would "speak for" him.

Similar to Woodrow Wilson, or the dictator in Woody Allen's Sleeper.

Try-outs for who gets to be the Trump Whisperer.

6. Not sure how much further he can decline. Stop breathing, maybe?

His brain function already seems to be at a pretty low level, but I suppose it is possible that he can possibly decline further to the point of autonomic brain functions being impacted. Idon't wish that on anybody, even him.

It's only going to get worse as he ages.

Law enforcement again, to satisfy his deranged ego.
Ashli Babbit was the first, but she won’t be the last.

So yeah I wouldn't be surprised if his health gives up and caves in at some point. His supporters will blame his death on the Deep State space lasers.

Republicans will have it as their battle cry to feign support, like:
'Remember the 911'
'Remember the Benghazi'

11. He's always been rambling and incoherent.

This is nothing new, the protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.

The only time he wasn't rambling and incoherent was when he was on the phone with Bob Woodward, apparently because he didn't find it necessary to put on his usual show.

This is, and has always been, an act.

12. Trump does nothing to keep his brain in shape

He doesn't read, he doesn't challenge himself mentally. He is in terrible physical condition


Trump's mental decline to date is noticeable to those that look and it will continue to get worse.


Trump had nearly 2 months to prepare for his CPAC speech and that pathetic snooze fest was the best he could produce.
