Hey! Don't be fooled by Trump and his deranged actions and words!

He is possibly doing on purpose?

He is a con man! Remember the mob member who acted crazy walk around in public wearing a robe and mumbling to himself?

Just saying! His base is still banking on every word Trump says or does!

Trump his dangerous with a corrupt mind!

then his base finds it endearing, bolstering, or just Trump Being Trump. This is their real-life reality show.

But I think the cognitive slippage is real, and he may use it to avoid jail time if it comes to that.

I work as a home aide for the elderly and/or infirm. Those signs of decline can't be faked.

Especially when you see him scramble to try and cover it up. For instance, him saying “clime“ and then saying it again, and then saying “They call it climate.” That’s a big tell for me.

I used to conduct extensive intellectual and personality evaluations with the general population and also
with jail inmates. Trump has street smarts and is ruthless. So I wouldn't put anything past him,
especially if he thinks he is facing jail time. And he knows he won't lose one vote with his base
for displaying cognitive impairment.

But I agree, I think the slippage we are seeing is real.

..who brags about his 'cognitive test' performance, would intentionally make the gaffs he's making.

Trump will do anything to anyone and everyone to stay out of jail.

No matter how crazy he gets or acts, he knows he’s a traitor and crook who’s caught red-handed.
