Confused Trump Appears Disoriented During Speech

[Judi Lynn]

Trump delivers incoherent speech
Acyn1 hour ago



Moments after bragging that he ‘aced’ a screening test meant to detect signs of dementia, Donald Trump appeared confused and disoriented while delivering remarks in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Trump told supporters that he would put in protections to prevent banks and regulators from trying to ‘de-bank’ them. He then stumbled mid sentence and almost implied that he was going to ‘de-bank’ someone but then shifted the conversation to how his supporters are having their country taken away from them because of electric cars.

Link to tweet

Trump: But we're also going to place strong protections to stop banks and regulators from trying to de-bank you. From your— you know, your political beliefs, what they do. They want to de-bank you, and we're going to de-bank— think of this. They want to take away your rights. They want to take away your country. The things they’re doing, all-electric cars. Give me a break.

The incoherent remarks came after Trump bragged about ‘acing’ a test meant to detect early signs of dementia. Trump noted that the test included pictures of animals but added that the test became much more difficult after that.

1. Hardly different than anything else he has spewed during the past decade

It isn't like he was a concise, coherent, disciplined, issue-driven speech maker in 2016. He spewed random word-association-of-whatever-is-on-his-mind shit and evolved/iterated it as he read the room of hooting masses at his rallies. It looked pretty much the same as this crap a lot of the time.

De-bank? Probably some bank is refusing to loan him money or otherwise do business with him because of his NY cases.

Electric cars? Probably saw the stuff about electric cars and charging problems at very cold temps in the news recently.

I'm not saying he doesn't have dementia. But I am saying the difference is "meh." What's the point of splitting hairs in a cat turd?

[SoFlaBro]

2. Exactly. The same stupid fucking shit he has been shitting out of his goddamn piss-soaked mouth for decades.

[AllyCat]

4. Came here to say this

It’s just his usual stuff people seem to like as he “tells it like it is “

[shrike3]

35. Amazing, isn't it?

[BigmanPigman]

3. Man, he looks like an old catcher's mitt.

A VERY old catcher's mitt which has been under a mattress for about 1,000 years. I hope he croaks on live TV. Wouldn't that be a ratings grabber or would the $$$ media just drop him like a hot potato and move on to the next moron as if he never existed, like the ending of the film Network?

[Maeve]

19. Excellent simile! eom

[thomski64]

31. ..according to what i have read..

..he has tertiary syphilis. But please but repeat this...

[Farmer-Rick]

50. OMG Trump and syphilis is blowing up

I did a search on Google and it gave me the warning that this topic was changing so rapidly that results were not reliable.

Everyone is thinking Trump's got secondary syphilis. Well, what do you expect from a guy who raw dogs porn stars? Not to blame the porn stars. They have got to make a living too.

[Trueblue Texan]

84. Didn't he say in an interview...

...that syphilis was his own private Viet Nam?

[Attilatheblond]

106. Looked it up. It would explain the weird boo-boos on his hand

and a lot of other things.

[Blue Owl]

56. He's a goblin

[DET]

5. Bzzztttt!

You can hear his brain short circuiting as he speaks.

[AZ8theist]

6. The guy is a blithering idiot. Dementia or not, he's fucking stupid.

[LakeArenal]

68. Yeah that! 👆🏼

[BaronChocula]

7. TRUMP 2024

We won't debank you covefe!

[AllyCat]

99. LOL!

[Roy Rolling]

8. He puts the loon in lunatic.

[Harker]

69. He also manages to put the 'tic' in 'lunatic '. n/t

[DemMedic]

9. I hate being debanked!

WTF, maybe his diaper was full.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Welcome to DU

[niyad]

42. Welcome to our DU family.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

48. Welcome to DU

[Farmer-Rick]

51. Yeah, what's being debanked????

I never heard of it. Is it like being debunked? Or is it just more crazy speak from his loony failing brain?

[Gary 50]

89. Trump was "debanked" for years.

Not sure it's a word but I think he means banks wouldn't deal with for him for decades because he is a known liar, cheat and thief. So, as always, he is complaining that he has been mistreated and then projecting that mistreatment onto the crowd, who are saying "what the hell is he talking about." I'm pretty sure nobody came to the rally thinking "I've been debanked and I sure hope Trump brings it up." There is also, besides the victimhood, the implied threat that if he ever gets a chance to get revenge on those banks he will do it with joy. It's what he lives for.

[Lochloosa]

96. Welcome to DU DemMedic

[Emile]

10. I want to see him debate Joe Biden.

[marble falls]

21. And how

[BigmanPigman]

23. I'd love for Joe to do what tRump did to Hillary.

The fucking moron was walking around behind Hillary on the debate stage like a shark attack. He loves to get all the attention, just like in court yesterday, when he attempts to influence the jury and acts tough for his BS base/cult while the sane people are laughing at him.

[Emile]

24. That would be too cool 😎.

[PTL_Mancuso]

98. That move where he got up and psychotically loomed behind Hillary should NEVER have been permitted.

To me, it is plain that the word from the Top is (and always has been, since 2015): "Hands off of Donnie". He has been permitted to break every norm. He's like a very bad movie about the USA, made up only of stuff that should have remained on the cutting room floor. The press continues to let him lead and lede.

TFG sucks, and that goes double for all the press-monkeys and so-called journalists that have continued to peddle his crap (and their owners). He's the unruly, snot-nosed, cruel, stinky bully of a child who was never disciplined by his uncaring parents, unleashed upon the world, crookedly building a Potemkin empire, steam-rolling over any honest folks, whilst being endlessly adored and egged on by MSM (and the vast RW conspiracy, which is almost the same damn thing).

And all the shit that was just let go when he got elected (!?) and came to power, refusing to divest, bringing in his grifting family (and Jared), flouting the U.S. security laws. They let Flynn in even though he was proven to be working for foreign governments. Not to mention de Vos, Renke, DeJoy. And so many others in his cabinet, each being happy to claim that he/she wants to bring it all down. Not to mention the SCOTUS appointment scams. All the excuses MSM put up early on about how TFG is new to presidentin' and he needs time to develop his style and find his stride. (NYT was always happy to give him every benefit of every doubt).

And the Mueller investigation which provided a strong stack of evidence of TFG's crimes was white-washed by criminal AG Barr (who admitted to having never read the report), and the press just let it all pass.

And all the shit that happened when Joe was elected and they did every damn thing they could to prevent any kind transition of power, smooth or otherwise. And the press just said "Oh, Well...". They know how bad he is. They know that he, with their aid and abetment, have turned people on one another and skewered any chance for progress in any of our national goals and needs, and there are so many things that will affect our children and grandchildren that have been scrupulously neglected.

So sick of: "Well, what can we do?" like they kept saying in early 1930's Deutschland, and "What could we have done?" Strongly-worded letters and giving speeches in Congress has not and will not work. Voting has become mostly a sham since Citizens United. It's pretty plain to me that if a Fourth Reich is desired by the billionaires, then that is what we will get, because, well, what can we do?

[BigmanPigman]

101. And everything you just mentioned is still only

the tip of the tRump iceberg.

Last night when I was listening to the BS going on in court and no one controlling the fucking moron I thought about training pets or kids. Everyone knows you NEVER threaten then NOT follow up with a punishment as soon as it happened, even in public. If you let the broken rule/crime go without immediate repercussions you have lost the battle. After that, no matter how often you threaten, you never are in real control again.

I taught in elementary school for almost 20 years and this is what I know from my experience. The fucking moron is STILL acting like a spoiled brat, unchecked.

[niyad]

44. So he can try to infect President Biden again?

[Emile]

49. Whatever the safe distance is where Joe doesn't have to smell him.

[brush]

102. That would expose his dementia to the whole nation so I doubt his handlers...

will agree to a debate with Joe, who is still on his game.

Magats won't care though, but fuck them. We outnumber them.

[malaise]

11. Stark raving

MAD.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. MAD might mean

Magas Are Demented

[malaise]

15. Nicely played

Perfect

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Again? Well, at the least, thanks for those giving these incidents public exposure

(including you, Judi, for all your posts)

[Vinca]

16. What the heck doe he even mean by "de-bank?"

If there's anything in that orange head, it's definitely scrambled.

[Emile]

25. Deregulating banking? Beats me, just a guess.

[marble falls]

34. Loosing a $5Mil judgement to E. Jean Carrol. And about to lose more.

[ShazzieB]

91. And also about to lose HUGELY more in the New York fraud case!

When Judge Engoron gets through with him, whatever money he owes E. Jean will look like chicken feed by comparison!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. De-bank is like de-platform. Keep assets but it becomes very difficult to do ordinary banking.

Nigel Farage (in UK) claimed that he had been debanked a year or two ago.

De-platforming is when social media giants are urged, cajoled and threatened with boycotts to get them to close the accounts and ban users who put online egregious misanthropic, mysoginist, and other very deplorable content.

De-banking means accounts get closed, and credit cards denied. I think it much rarer and I've heard of only two or so.

[keep_left]

54. Every time I've heard the term used, it was a Nazi getting their credit-card processing...

...yeeted. You know, because private enterprise has standards, and they're not interested in helping online Nazi chuds get easy money from couch-bound basement-dwelling incels who steal their parents' Visa cards. Alt-right assholes like "Roosh V" started whining a couple years ago about being "de-banked". Again, they're complaining because private industry has made a rational decision not to process financial transactions from Nazis.

As it turns out, this "de-banking" turned out pretty well for old Roosh, who aged out of the MRA/PUA "movement", converted to radtrad Russian Orthodoxy, subsequently deleted all his hateful websites...and got a real job.

[Skittles]

114. CORRECT

it's their nazi BEHAVIOR that makes them targets, not their BELIEFS

[ecstatic]

17. This is a decline

I know he says stupid shit all the time but this is something else. My only question is, how much longer does he have before the floodgates open?

[nocoincidences]

39. This latest speech deterioration is not at all

the same shit. I used to test for dementia in my previous work life, and this man is sinking like an anchor. He has never been terribly coherent, but what is happening now is probably adding to his terror, if he even recognizes it at all.

I don't know when he is going to totally lose the plot, but his approach to that point is accelerating.

[ShazzieB]

92. Thank you for weighing in.

I don't have your background in assessing such things, but he sounds much less coherent to me than he did in 2016 or even 2020.

His hard core followers practically revere him as a god these days, and I don't know what it would take to get them to admit there's anything wrong with him. They're a lost cause. I just hope there are enough other voters with the sense to recognize what's in front of them.

[tavernier]

18. He is now the general on M*A*S*H

who sang the Mississippi Mud song. (Harry Morgan played him before he took on his role of Colonel Potter)

[King_Klonopin]

113. General Steele... "that's Steele with 3 E's, not all in a row."

It pokes fun at racism and psychosis being inter-related.

Hey, Hey, Uncle Fudd
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud.

[marble falls]

20. Now compare this usual TFG word salad against Joe Biden's last two speeches.

[Captain Zero]

72. Put it next to a Biden paragraph

Where Joe's talks about real hard things he has accomplished to bring the economy back and unemployment down.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Let's see the test and the results. Oh, that's like

asking to see actual tax returns, grades from college, and doctors' reports on his weight, height, and bone spurs.

[Buns_of_Fire]

115. It's been classified.

But I'm told that this is a genuine sample question from the "special" test developed just for El Cloaca by the professors at the Trump University School of Stable Geniuses:

(4) Study the two pictures below:




Match the description to the picture:
(A) Your ass
(B) A hole in the ground

(He got it right, but it took two tries.)

[viva la]

26. He also went on about corn

"Non-liquid gold" he called it, bragging that he made up that term.

Huh?

[Emile]

28. Probably has something to do with the non

digestible corn kernels in his diaper.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

47. It's about using ethanol in gasoline. Great for Iowans, but wrong state; was said in NH

"Liquid gold" is a metaphor for oil. So, "non"-that would be golden corn sugars, like liquid gold but not liquid gold.

Not much corn grown in NH. Evidence of his decline that he lost his way and reached for something out of his memory that was not quite right or well-placed.

[JoseBalow]

61. Boomers and GenX know what "non-liquid gold" is

[Lovie777]

27. Unfortunately......................................................

shithole's cult understands exactly what he is saying and doing.

[bucolic_frolic]

29. The true part: "We're going to debank you." I take that to mean SEIZE YOUR ASSETS.

Dictator can make eminent domain anything he wants it to be.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. It means keep assets but lose access to SERVICES. . . . nt

[bif]

30. And his dumbshit followers won't even notice

That Dementia Donnie is out of his fucking ind!

[Johonny]

32. Trump paid Epstein extra to be debanked

Some people say . . .

[DFW]

36. If the media would do their job

They would play this back to him during a live interview, and ask him to explain exactly what he meant.

He sounded like someone who is experiencing a series of mini strokes, leading up to „the big one,“ after which his covfefe comments will sound like Demosthenes by comparison.

[eppur_se_muova]

70. Kicking for Demosthenes reference. nt

[FalloutShelter]

37. The truth is this...

If the MSM wanted him gone he’d be GONE. Period. EOS

[ok_cpu]

38. With every accusation being a confession

I wonder if his personal and / or Org bank(s) have encouraged him to move his relationship elsewhere due to his heightened risk profile.

[OAITW r.2.0]

40. Imagine what he'll be saying in 6 months....

I dearly want him to be the Republican nominee....

[niyad]

46. And I want him to stop wasting our oxygen.

[Dem2theMax]

100. In six months,

I hope he'll be begging the devil for a cooler room.

[live love laugh]

45. That's not incoherent. He repetitively dog whistled and MAGATS get it.

[dwayneb]

77. Agreed, feels better to think it's incoherence

But the reality is that he knows how to play his cult worshippers like a fiddle.

[louis-t]

52. Stinky stupidface just invented a new word.

His rabid worshipers will be repeating it by Saturday as if it really means something.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

53. TFG's senility is becoming more evident

59. The Syphilis is really kicking in.

He might want to get that looked at.

[nilram]

60. Master of projection is worried about being debanked

Whatever that means. Thinking some banks are threatening to drop him—and it’ll be hard to start up banking elsewhere with his fraud history.

[robbob]

62. He STILL bragging about passing a dementia test??? WTAF?!?

Last edited Fri Jan 19, 2024, 03:22 AM - Edit history (1)

I guess no one has the guts to tell him that’s not something to brag about? I mean, every single person with a properly functioning brain is supposed to “ace” that test, but he brags about it like he thinks he should win the Nobel prize.

Here’s the thing: we all know “man, woman, person, camera, tv” would NOT be the five words he would be asked to remember; the first three words and the last two are too similar, you need five random, unrelated words. In fact, we can be pretty sure he was just naming objects right in front of him. Surprised actually that he can count to five.

So on a discussion forum about a week ago someone was making these points, and gave a five word example of what to expect in this test. Now, being of a certain (ahem) age I decided to try and remember the five words as I read through the comments. Now, this was over a week ago. I still remember the words: face, velvet, church, tulip, red. Once I made a conscious effort to retain the words they just got stuck in my brain. tRump couldn’t retain the information for a couple hours. I’d be quite surprised if he actually “aced” this test at all.

[phylny]

80. Yeah, I just had the "Medicare" memory test

and did great except for “remember these five words.” I remembered one of the five, and that word was “velvet.” 🤣

[Attilatheblond]

107. The 20-something giving me that test screwed up

She asked me to repeat the words she told me earlier, only she forgot to tell me the worlds earlier.

I had a bit of fun with that. "See, you're supposed to tell me the words early on in this interview, not after you ask me to tell you the words you never mentioned." Such a cute color of red she turned, but she took the good natured ribbing well, and added "This test is stupid". Yes, I agreed, it is.

[JoseBalow]

63. this could be a lot more, uh, complex. I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple uh, you know?

[Missiris]

67. The test is pretty simple

In my past, I have administered probably a couple of hundred of these tests. It is very unusual for anyone not to score 100%, and any score lower than mid twenties suggests there may be dementia present. Some of the questions are things like the date, where are we, and who is the president. The five words he keeps repeating are NOT those on a standard dementia test.

[DET]

93. "Who is the President?"

I wonder how the MAGAts answer that.

[nocoincidences]

109. The man doesn't have the sense left

to even comprehend the instructions for serial seven subtraction, much less perform it!!

[Blue Owl]

64. Hard to tell if he's floating some new propaganda fake issue, or just plain batshit crazy...

[eppur_se_muova]

73. Any compelling argument why it can't be both ? nt

[jcgoldie]

65. Pictures of animals but then it got much tougher...

"A rooster says?" .... "How about a horse?"

[meadowlander]

71. Inside Trump's mind:

[bernieb]

66. What?

Maybe he won't debate because he CAN'T.

[Warpy]

74. He doesn't have to make sense to the adoring crowd, they're far too stupid to pay attention

to anything but slogans and buzzwords, so they'll know when to cheer.

Sarah Palin showed him the way. So he gets hopped up on something or other and stands there and babbles incoherently.

"Oh, that's just his style."

Yeah, right, I'd love to see a tox screen on him.

[StarryNite]

75. Batshit crazy

[BlueIdaho]

76. Age related dementia strikes again

The fat pig can’t hold a single thought in his head for more than a minute. Even with a teleprompter he stumbles, fumbles, and then resorts to his one size fits all hate America patter. He’s lost it.

[Diamond_Dog]

78. Any medical people here who can tell us

What decades of abusing Adderall can do to a person? Apparently the POS has been snorting it for over a decade.

[Seinan Sensei]

79. If he quoted Jabberwocky

... his minions would say he's "telling it like it is"

[enigmania]

81. Apex Mouthbreather

[redqueen]

82. I'm sure the M$M will be breathlessly reporting on his mental fitness any time now.

🙄

Maybe this time it's egregious enough that they won't be able to ignore it.

His followers are even dumber than he is.

[intrepidity]

83. It just looks like severe ADHD to me

He's reading the prompter, sees "debank" which triggers a thought, probably something like "the banks threatened my social media company because of my politics" (because he is always and only speaking about himself, aka projection) and then his mind, like a bowling ball in the gutter, falls into the standard "list of grievance-triggers" that his audience is familiar with and will respond to, which will then deliver an endorphin-shot to his weary exhausted brain so that he can continue. His train of thought derails more often than a deregulated railway car, and the horrible irony is that, with severe ADHD, one's "executive function" is highly compromised, and that alone should disqualify such a person for the position of the Chief Executive of the whole country!

(Speaking as one who is, ahem, "familiar" with how ADHD works....)

[Martin Eden]

85. In presidential debates, the moderator should ask candidates where they stand on the "de-bank" issue

And how electric cars threaten the rights of Americans.

[Puppyjive]

86. So did the wagon craftsmen

Their country was being taken away from them when the automobile was invented. Jeezus.

[mwb970]

87. His speeches are gibberish.

It is amazing to realize just how unqualified this disaster of a "man" is for the presidency. And there are people who will vote for him. UNbelievable.

[Hassler]

88. Dotard J Loser sounding even more demented than usual

[Joinfortmill]

90. Brain rot.

[sop]

94. The more demented Trump becomes, the more corporate media will focus on Biden's age.

[ShazzieB]

95. For more on Trump's cognitive decline...

I invite you all to check out the video Luke Beasley has done on this topic, posted here at DU by Texas Towelie: https://www.democraticunderground.com/13229544

Luke shows clips from the recent NH speech and throws in some other stuff as well. I'm a big Luke Beasley fan, so I'm probably biased (lol), but I highly recommend this.

[twodogsbarking]

97. Y'all said nice things. Thanks.

[viva la]

103. Apparently that "debanking" is some news fragment that stuck in one of the holes in his brain...

From the UK.
His fascist buddy Farage was asked to take his account elsewhere by Coutts Bank, they say because it's a rich people account and had dropped below a million pounds.

Farage whines that it's because he's a fascist.

None of this matters here, of course, but to Trump, the only people who count are his buddies, and it doesn't matter if they're North Korean or British fascists.

[bdamomma]

104. What a sick

effing POS. Go away go to Putin.

[Takket]

105. i would love to see Biden give the same speech, word for word, just to prove a point...

and i bet the MSM would EXPLODE with wall to wall coverage of his "dementia"

[COL Mustard]

108. I have gone through iterations of what to call him

I started with T*ump. Then I went to x45. Now I refer to him as Former President Stinky.

That is all.

[Orrex]

110. It'll be so great when he dies of natural causes

Absolutely fan-fucking-tastic, and I hope that it's on live national TV. Maybe even at the Republican National Convention.


Our GOP-fluffing media loves to recite the talking point that Trump's fuckhead KKKultists would still vote for him even if he were convicted, but they should instead ask those KKKultists if they'd still vote for him if he died.

[Desert Dog]

111. Lets see if we can put this together..

Trump knows he is about to lose some serious money. Money is the center of all his power. He even grifts from a position of power. The general public has never seen an overt and desperate need. His rubes still believe in his strength and prowess with the cash. When he has a specific dollar amount over his head, his financial facade will be over to all but the most vacuous morons.

So then he thinks he should be entitled to go to real banks and get loans, but they left him years ago. This is probably a sign that the Russian money is not coming and not possible. Trump can't complain about the Russian abandonment, so he whines about the American banks. Why aren't they bailing him out - like he deserves?

Grievance. Plan retribution. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Imagine the loop of hate and misery in that fuck's head. We should get him to agree to donate his super terrific genius brain to science when he dies. What kind of mangled mess would be observed?

[The Roux Comes First]

112. Cutting to the Chase, Was This a New Dementia Test Taken Recently?

I seriously doubt it. He tends to fall back on that very simplistic "weakening memory" test many of us over a certain age take as a part of our physical exams (how many of train, hat, chair, man, blue can you remember after a couple minutes of distraction; draw me a clock showing 11:10; name ten animals). Given his absence of skills in taking tests and submitting to any procedures or discipline at all, I have come to think of this test, taken probably four or five years ago as the only one he has ever had.

And of course when he opens his mouth, he embodies dementia!

[Jack-o-Lantern]

116. That is if there is even a fig of a brain in that empty orange head.

[Uncle Joe]

117. It's ironic because I believe both things at once,

*rump is truly losing it and that he's faking dementia thinking it will help him in some of his trials and sentencing.

If there is one thing *rump has loved to play throughout his life is as the "victim."

Thanks for the thread Judi Lynn
