Wow! Trump is delusional as usual, but......

he claims that the MRI was as perfect as the phone call between him and Zelenskyy from his 1st term.

He told several lies to gaggle of reporters on AF1 Sunday night.

One thing I noticed watching the clip of him with the reporters, was that Trump didn’t look well. He looked thru the reporters and as he was asked more questions, he became very defensive, confused and overwhelmed. Thus as did my mother did in the last years of her life.

Now, my mother was never quite diagnosed with Dementia, but the doctor said that it is why she would get testy about everything and have mood swings. He went on to say that her mental health is deteriorating and it was slowly becoming worse.

I don’t know what those doctors told Trump, but I’m sure they told him the truth and Trump just never wanted to except the truth.

He isn’t doing well is the bottom line, but when those around him are not looking out for his well being? He just keeps thinking he is doing great. That alone is mind blowing! They are using him as prop and allowing Trump to do things that are insane all the while the country becomes less safe.

It like the saying “the enemy is at the gate”, in Trump’s case “the insane is in the White House”!

And Johnson should be cited for elder abuse.

I was the executor on my aunt’s estate and when you do that, you run across all kinds of information and situations where the elderly are exploited, especially if they have some value, be it money or power.

I also saw the same scene and the confusion and bewilderment.

What we are seeing is very ugly.

Have you noticed he never knows anything any more and has no problem whatsoever admitting it? He will say “they told me”.

When you are president you have to discern . It is your job to know.

and unsteady on his feet. What few verbal filters he once had are falling away. Can't hide it anymore. Either stroke symptoms, dementia or both. The guy is falling apart on camera.

He went on a 400 posts-in-an-hour Truth Sinkhole frenzy at midnight last night. This lunatic is claiming that Michelle Obama was pardoning people with the auto pen in the final days of Biden's term. Meidas Touch, who were also a target of this lunacy because of their Eric Holder interview, reported on it. I'm sure others will be doing so as well, as the day goes on. Trump's cheese has not only slid off his cracker, but he sat on it, and now is trying to lick it off his own ass. Seriously, anyone who has the capability of removing this lunatic from office, and refuses to do so, needs to be brought up on whatever charges it takes to lock them up for the rest of their fucking lives. This shit needs to stop.

It is either, "This is what you need to do....."

Or they are just doing it. Miller, Hegseth, Noem, et.al, just issuing directives, sometimes in his name. Meanwhile, he is just golfing or enjoying the plane rides and parties.


As my nurse practitioner, stepdaughter says, she doesn't expect him to be alive by 2027.

Then again, maybe something about the magic beams in the M.R.I. machine. I know I feel real good when I walk out of that thing. I'm ready to have sex with the first hot ba -- aw fuck. I ready for that even when I'm not coming out'a the machine.

9. Pedo Trump has always been a nasty piece of work

But he's doing it routinely in public now. And it comes across as just him being annoyed for being asked something he doesn't know. Before it came across as funny, refreshing and appropriately aggressive. The man is a mean demented fool. He's just stumbling and bumbling around wherever his nastiness leads him.

My great grandmother who lived to 102, had dementia in her last years, but she was the most pleasant person. She was kind and sweet to the end.
