'He's not okay': Trump's speech sparks cognitive concerns for national security experthttps://www.rawstory.com/trump-mental-capability/
"I'm not a doctor. I'm not making a diagnosis. I'm saying as a lay person and a man of advancing years myself, that I looked at the president and I thought, he's not okay. And it's not just his physical demeanor. I think for too long we have been willing to talk about the weird, rambling, you know, what the president tries to call 'the weave.' It's not 'the weave.' It is some kind of emotional disorder, condition, where he just can't hold a thought in his head. And I think when you're speaking to 800 admirals and generals, that audience is going to notice it a lot more than a MAGA audience is at rallies because they're either looking at their phone or laughing or not really paying attention."
Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling agreed with Nichols, saying that he heard from former colleagues on Tuesday evening who said some of the same things.
"It seemed to be disconnected thoughts," said Hertling. "And I would agree with Tom, when you know you're going into an audience of that kind of folk, the people who are the generals and admirals and senior enlisted officers, you know you've got to be on your game."
He went on to say that one of the top military people he knows typically takes a lot of notes, and halfway through the speech, he quit writing, knowing that nothing that was being said could be taken back to his troops.

He does some crazy commercial with the 'Available at Walgreens', as the ending.
Nothing nefarious.

(5,252 posts)are rapidly multiplying on my smartphone news app-- "SmartNews"
I don't even watch much "network news" anymore, except for Sunday morning, I mostly read my news, and I'm an "old guy"...
The younger folks are likely more inclined to get their news from apps and the internet,
than I am....
Trump's UN speech combined with the military meeting speech,
are starting to look like an 'inflection point' that will eventually take him down---
and his polling was looking very bad BEFORE these events!
"The networks" have 'declining influence' now,
and will have even LESS by the time the 26 midterm elections roll around....
MEANWHILE, PRICES continue to rise.... and those people
who believed the Trump LIE that he would "lower prices on Day One"
(which no President has the power to do)
WON'T FAIL to notice THAT, even if they DON'T "read in their spare time" !
