    Ok the country. I routinely forget what cities my parents were born in. Yeah you should remember what country your parents were born in unless it’s something like Yugoslavia where the location kept changing country over the course of their life.

    The guy even shits his pants in the middle of a press conferences, like it’s nothing:

    Watch at :34, you hear him shart, and the lady in green behind him hears it, and looks at him. A few seconds later she starts to react to the smell, and then the staffers jumped in and cleared the media from the room.

    How many symptoms of dementia do you need?

    The media will keep acting like dementia claims are new and just a “maybe” until he’s fucking 90 and unable to speak actual words and babbles like a newborn and they’ll still be like “Is it dementia? Trump aides say no, everyone with a brain says yes. Tonight we’ll have a roundtable with nine Trump aides and one person with a brain to discuss…”

    We can assess his brain for abnormalities during autopsy. Until then, we should treat a world leader as though everything they do and every outcome it has it calculated and intentional: Through that lens, which is the only lens worth considering, Trump is a domestic terrorist, traitor, insurrectionist, enemy of the US of constitution, rapist / child rapist, and many, many more. He should be charged, convicted, and sentenced to the according to the absolute most severe extent of each crime he’s committed.

    This whole “oh he’s crazy” or “stupid” or “incompetent” etc all just mitigate his culpability. What he is is fucking guilty - everything else is moot.

        It is when you’re a regular citizen who doesn’t want to kill people for oil or because of the whims of a psychopathic warlord.

        It isn’t when you’re the Commander-in-Chief sending people to their deaths in an unnecessary war.

    seemingly mixed up his U.S.-born father, who died in 1999, with his German-born grandfather, who died decades before Trump’s birth.

    “My father was born – he knows all about my father – my father was born there,” Trump said. “These are places you automatically feel warmly about.”

      Saying confidently wrong things based on feelings. Yep, that’s Trump all right.

      I’m not surprised that feelings elicited a memory for him, but he lost track of the exact details. It’s absolutely in line with dementia. When I worked with dementia patients, a lot of them liked me, and when they saw me they felt better. But they didn’t remember who I was exactly, or what my relation to them was. I was often mistaken for a granddaughter, not because I resembled their grandkids, but because they felt warmly toward me.

      The only thing is, Trump has always acted based on feelings. As a spoiled nepo baby, things have always worked out for him, so I doubt he ever developed a strong mind in the first place. The patients I worked with used to be sharp, and dementia made a marked difference in their decision-making. Trump’s still Trump, just more unhinged (somehow.)

    Remember the scene from “The Apprentice” where Trumps dad says that he built Trump tower?
