Dementia expert suspects some dude is falling off the cliff

[struggle4progress]

... "Typical of dementia patients, he repeats himself and overuses superlatives and filler words," Gartner said. "Based on his current accelerating rate of decline, it seems very unlikely that Trump could see out a second term without falling off the cliff and becoming totally incapacitated."

... earlier this year, he mistook former UN ambassador Nikki Haley for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California), saying "Nikki Haley" was in charge of security at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. He also noted that Trump has, on multiple occasions, confused President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama ...

... in 2024, Trump has exhibited a pattern of using "non-words in place of real words," like "saying 'mishuz' instead of missile, or 'Chrishus' instead of Christmas." Other examples he listed include "'President U-licious S Grant' (For Ulysses S. Grant), 'space-capsicle' (for space capsule), 'combat infantroopen' (for combat infantry), 'sahhven country' (for sovereign country) [and] 'renoversh' (For renovations)" ...

... the former president has "shown deterioration in his fine motor coordination" ... Trump sometimes "swings his right leg in a semi-circle as if it were dragging a dead weight." He added that he sometimes has "difficulty drinking a bottle or a glass of water without two hands" ...

... "This is more business as usual than you might think. In real life, we’ve institutionalized tens of thousands of patients on far less data."

1. hard to tell

Trump has been speaking gibberish for quite some time now

[joemacdawson]

2. The Debate

If he doesn’t show for the debate, that’s a sure sign his handlers are aware. If he does, and gets slaughtered, it will confirm it.

[Silent Type]

4. I think the debate will answer a lot of undecideds questions, having more impact than most debates.

Think he’ll show like he did in 2016and 2020. Hope debate officials really do cut mic feed when time is up because he will be unhinged, with little to lose. His supporters love that junk.

[Silent Type]

3. He's been repeating himself and overusing filler words, etc., since at least 2015.

He’s a sick MFer, but not sure that’s the best indicator. His supporters talk similarly.

5. Can't we simply assume that he's displaying symptoms of rabies & apply the humane medical treatment?

12. Old Yeller says "Yes!"

6. Need to know who is running for MAGA president?

Rewatch the Manchurian Candidate

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. The first one was "covfefe". . . . nt

[Blue Idaho]

9. His recent "teleprompter" problem

Wasn’t a teleprompter problem - it was just another public display of his rapidly declining cognitive abilities.

[GenThePerservering]

10. He's had problems for a while

but they're accelerating at a quicker rate.

[Deminpenn]

11. Jmo, but seems more like wishful thinking or,

more accurately, diagnosing. We know Fred Trump had dementia and that may be coloring the analysis of Trump's current mental state here.

It's clear he's declined if you go back and watch him 2015 and today, but some of that is just age-related.

[BaronChocula]

13. Or he's just illiterate

and stupid as dirt.
