Republicans would elect a bowl of soup to the presidency if they had to, because then they can rubber stamp a hundred orders a day dismantling government agencies, destroying welfare programs, neutering regulations, and oppressing people of color, women, LGBTQ+, and non-Christians. Trump is the most useful, most idiot useful idiot the world has ever seen.

I guess you forgot Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's while President.
But it's okay, he forgot too.
But it’s okay, he forgot too.
Dark humor is like food. Not everyone gets it.

Oh man, a bowl of soup would be a great president.
What kind of soup are we talking here? We don't need no Goulash running the country, that'd be communism
I'm no expert but It seems to me Trump is getting worse fast now.
the patron saint of the right spent most of his presidency with a head full of mush, they don’t care. It’s the same reason the age stuff resonates with Biden only, the right wants useful idiots who will sign off on their fever dreams. A non-functional brain is a virtue to them.
The dementia just makes them easier to control
I'm sure all the stress caused by the court cases doesn't help. Usually the presidency is the most stressful thing to people, but that's only true if they took the job seriously. Trump did not. Something that effects him is likely far more stressful for the narcissist.
And the prolonged use of drugs, for his entire life, but also specifically during his presidency.
That's a very good observation imo. 👍
Watching an elderly parent/grandparent go through the down slope of dementia isn't fun.
But a Human Vegetable President is sort of the party dream. Just do a full Weekend at Bernie's with a sitting President and you can get away with whatever you like, then deflect the blame onto a corpse.

I don't think he can hold it together until November. Just look at how much he's declined this year alone and we're only 3 months in.
It seems like that’s becoming a very real possibility. At this point I’m just waiting for him to go on national tv next week and demand that Obama debate him while dropping the n word.
Trump thinks he’s running against Obama and thinks Nikki Haley was the speaker of the house during 1/6. He is deeply unwell and belongs in a long term care facility.
At this point I’m just waiting for him to go on national tv next week and ~~demand that Obama debate him while~~ drop
Legitimately going to throw a party when he dies.
I've been waiting for that since 2016.
But wait! He was able to name a rhinoceros and do differential calculus! Person woman man camera tv!
He brags about ‘acing’ that test, but here’s the actual test:
The most difficult maths problem is to subtract by 7s.
The answers to the 5 words memory question would never be ‘person woman man camera tv’, because they’re always carefully chosen to not be related in any way, because that would defeat the purpose, since related words are easier to remember. They’d be things like ‘daisy chair monkey water picture’. Even from his very first retelling, he didn’t remember the words, he was just naming things he saw in the room at the time, and he was bragging about passing a test that if you fail, you may be deemed unable to care for yourself.
We know this is the test, because he talks about the rhino part, then says it gets hard from there (eta: in his own words, 3 years ago), and now says almost nobody can pass the rest. And he says the doctors told him he’s one of the only people they’ve seen pass it.
This is himself recounting the story last month, January 2024. (e: Sorry for the Twitter link; I couldn’t find a better one.)
And his cult cheers this shit. It’s utterly bonkers.
e: Link, and another link. And one more.
e2: I couldn’t help but add this. I am so sorry. If it must be in my head, now it’s in yours too.

Haha mnemonic device go brrrr
Doesn’t matter. He could be comatose and they’d still vote for him.
God-Emperor and all that
While I do really hate this guy, and I also assume he isn't mentally fit to manage a Wendy's, never mind being president...we shouldn't be listening to doctors willing to diagnose psychiatric conditions or mental health based on how someone is acting on TV. No doctor can get enough data to make an accurate diagnosis that way.
Yeah, Any doctor thats willing to go on TV and diagnose someone they've never personally met, is a doctor that should be ignored and avoided.
cause no reputable doctor will go on TV and do that shit.
Plenty of reputable doctors will go on TV to discuss illnesses and shit, but they wont diagnose someone like this.
Also consistent with him being a gaping, prolapsed, syphilitic asshole.
Dementia Don!
#Dementia Don!
For four years libs were screaming about ageism and immediately go back to it when Trump comes around again. Both these guys should be disqualified if the US was in any way a meaningful democracy and not a terminal empire with a useless gerontocracy and corrupt oligarchy.
This article and every one like it have been on repeat since 2016, I dunno how people still have the attention span for "today's Trump insanity" after 8 years. It should be obvious to anyone this has no effect on politics and only makes news orgs money.
Seriously. "Latest rally consistent with dementia," great, so were all of the others.
anyone over retirement age should be barred from running, and that should not be controversial.
If you got on a plane and the pilot was 80 you'd be a bit worried, and we let these fucks run the most powerful nation ever to exist.
Trump after the rally, "Was I too demented? Did I come off as too demented? I don't want them to think I'm too demented."
"No sir, you were just as demented as ever."
Trump saying Hannibal Lecter is coming across the southern border is batshit crazy
Deranged treasonous lunatic 2024!
