(6,730 posts)there is something really wrong with his brain, he is wandering around with no fucking idea where he is or where he is going. This is not going to end in a good way for him. His brain is more fried than we thought. Why do his handlers allow this?

(9,223 posts)Has ANYONE here ever heard a medical doctor say a test was "perfect"? Nope, that's a standard go-to word when Trump has to lie about something bad.

He reverted back to living on the farm when he was younger, he made motion of mending or washing fences besides other things, and 4 years later, he had a heart attack and never recovered.
I extremely don't like shithole, his family and the republican party, he should not be running the country.

(109,262 posts)It was so sad to see her deteriorate. This is insanity what the GOP is doing. They should all be ashamed of themselves, but they lack even the most basic human emotions.

(9,627 posts)The GOP would have rolled out Reagan as long as it took to keep the power in place. He lasted 16 years after his last term ended.

Creepy and embarrassing at the same time.

(23,456 posts)I suppose we can now relate to the Romans during the calamitous last years of Tiberius' regime.
Where every day the Emperor spent at his Capri den of iniquity, rather than at Capitoline Hill, was actually one of the "good" days.

(2,244 posts)As to Trump, WRAL 5 news in Raleigh covered his Japan visit, and no footage whatsoever of Trump's meandering.
Totally Tunsie
(12,013 posts)trump truly seems "out of it" and this video is really humiliating.
Remember how relentlessly he mocked Joe Biden during his attendance at the June, 2024, G7 summit in Italy
when Joe stepped away to congratulate a parachutist who had just landed? The video was deceptively edited to make it appear as though President Joe Biden was "wandering off" from other world leaders. The unedited footage showed the actual encounter with the parachutist.

Takaichi also plans to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, as the channel NTV reported, citing government circles. As you know, the US president has particularly targeted this award.

Because she knows he's a bumbling fool to be manipulated. You have to watch women. They may teach us a thing or two. You know, like your mom?

Thats really bad. He looks like Grandpa wandering aimlessly in the nursing home. My MIL spent her last years in a dementia care assisted living facility. The core of the place was designed in a square so that the residents could roam the perimeter - and they did, endlessly. It was terribly sad. The Japanese PM clearly knows that something is wrong. I wonder what Trump will look like by the end of this trip - if he survives it. I almost feel sorry for him. Almost.

(1,786 posts)One of the reasons fewer people travel as they reach their 80's. Trump should go old school and take a boat. But he's afraid of sharks.
