In reply to the discussion: Scarborough Says People Close To Trump Worry He's 'Pre-Dementia' [View all]Backseat Driver
(4,671 posts)60. There's no pre? about it - Dementia is an insideously malignant condition, hidden until it's not.
I'm not a psychiatrist/neurologist, but mental status, be it from various forms of dementia and brain disease or symptoms that point more toward aggressive malignant schizo-types of mental illness in the limbic system, whatever, it's in a far more advanced stage and getting worse. Aging from toxic stress can also greatly magnify personality traits and disorders as well, but Speaker Pelosi is spot on when she said his behavior is (paraphrasing) unseemly in the office he holds. IMO, it has reached a crisis point insofar as his ability to uphold his inaugural vow. Furthermore, it is beyond contempt for our country that his sycophants, whether appointed or elected, hide his uncivil, irrational condition(s) and criminality with their own.
