36. Absolutely. Indicative of cognitive deficiency glaring to anyone,

even if most of us would need professionals to explain just what was going on.

When Trump was running, a main professional association decreed this could not be ethically discussed by anyone who hadn't performed an in-person evaluation (typically @45 minutes with someone who's often a total stranger trying to shine them on). Over 30 years of film of the subject, audio, written interviews, "autobiographies," thousands of court records, etc., no substitute.

At that time a professional wrote an opinion piece for the NYT or WaPo explaining that it really didn't matter because anyone who'd gone to kindergarten would be sufficiently equipped to evaluate. Wink-wink, so to speak. What kids learn about what's normal and not in kindergarten hit again and again. Get it? Get it?
