Pierce: Trumps New York Times Interview Is a Portrait of a Man in Cognitive Decline

[amcgrath]

87. Altzheimers makes for a good court room defence

It also leaves the republicans with an excuse for their backing of him during the election and their support afterwards.

To all those who claim Altzheimers is the reason for Trumps behaviour, I simply ask, during what period or during which era, was Trump suitable to hold any public office, let alone "commander in chief"

Was it in the Vietnam era when he continually dodged the draft using dubious means?

Or has it been in the decades since, where he has been found guilty of racial discrimination in letting of his properties?

Perhaps it was his dodgy dealings and multiple bankruptcies as a property tycoon, where he used bankruptcies to stiff numerous contractors, businesses and partners, forcing many out of business?

Was it during the years when Trump was behaving inappropriately towards his pageant contestants?

Was it when he managed to bankrupt his casino?

His ex-wife claimed battery and rape until a final divorce settlement silenced her.

Over a dozen women have also come forward with claims of rape or assault.

Was he a suitable candidate for president when he campaigned to have the death penalty reintroduced to New York, to enable the execution of the Central Park rapists who were later proven innocent?

Was it when he insulted and abused residents living around his building of a Scottish golf course?

Was it when he was syphoning money from his "charities" to enrich himself?

Was it when he was calling women pigs, or claiming they were too ugly for him to have wanted to assault?

Was it when he was calling Mexicans rapists and criminals?

Was it when he spent years trying to persuade people that Obama was an illegitimate president? questioning his nationality or telling lies about his college achievements?

I could continue, but please, those claiming altzheimers, just point to the moment in Trumps life when he was fit to serve, or when his candidacy was one that any politician who cared about the country could get behind?
