    Getting ready for when the verdicts are coming down only to appeal that his mental decline was real and cannot be fit for trial because of dementia. It’s like clockwork.

    Been more than a month but it’s more visible now that it’s not a ”both sides” issue

    • He’s been showing his age for a long time - there’s a reason he had to take a dementia test during his presidency. But it hasn’t been “turn Q&A into standing around listening to music without warning” bad until very recently. Seems like a sharp turn downward started around the start of August?

        I think it was before August that I started hearing about how he would change his train of thought mid-sentence and shit like that

      I’d argue though that it has accelerated much more rapidly this month or so, but I admit that could be more so just me not picking up on it as much earlier

        For whatever reason, I’d imagine he is under a great deal of stress and anxiety. Maybe it’s the rise of Kamala, or him being shot at; maybe both, and more that we’re not privy to yet.

        As someone that suffers from mental illness myself, I can say with certainty that increases in stress and anxiety will always make mental illness worse. I can only imagine what it does to dementia.

    Donald Turmp is the teacher we wish we had in middleschool and the teacher we hated in college.
