In reply to the discussion: Vascular dementia and Trump [View all]pnwest
(3,418 posts)It's hard to describe until you notice it - it's very subtle. But trump is beginning to express thoughts and concerns in more simple language. Of course, he still rallies and can fire off a screed in anger, but more and more he's using simpler words and describing things in a broader, more general and basic way.
I was not one to jump on the dementia wagon early on, cause I've seen what I've seen with my mother. But now I see the signs that tell me it's real. And I can tell you he's got maybe two years left of any real understanding of what's going on around him. Maybe less if he's being propped up and supported by meds and sycophants.
What's worrying me, is that he's even more easily manipulated and controlled now. Essentially and even more useful idiot. He's being kept out of the loop on things, and he's being lied to.
Two examples:
He had no idea of the Hegseth military meeting until a few days before.
He asked if what he's seeing on TV in Portland isn't what's really happening.
THAT is what scares me the most. He's not running things. They make him happy by putting him in front of cameras and let him be the big distraction we're all looking at, while people like Stephen Miller are actually running things behind the scenes. And his deepening dementia makes it easier to control and fool him.
