they just wait for their cues to laugh, or start changing "lock her up" or whatever.

and was then rejected and tossed off the top of the national dungheap. Naturally, he's flipping out a little. However, I haven't seen evidence of anything but very early dementia, and I saw that 4 years ago.

The flip side to megalomania is paranoia and his is growing on a daily basis as the walls close in on him. As the stress overwhalms him, he's going to sound more and more wacko. However, it's not dementia beyond the earliest stages.

Not leating the traitorous SOB off the hoook that easily.

He most likely remembered the original items for the requisite 10 minutes. Few people put it into long term storage and remember it for the rest of their lives.

I can tell how much stress he's under, it's looking like somebody let half the air out of him, he's losing weight and his face is sinking in.

Good.

Personality disorders generally don't show up on MRIs.

Just surroud him with people who tell him he is in the White House, and still President.

Then cut off all communications from TDFG (the demented former guy), send his pronouciations off into outer space, tell him there was a nuclear war that Republicans won, and only Mar-a-Lago still exists and he shouldn't venture forth.

Then when it's time, go in with the straight jacket and arrest him. He won't know.

But it sounds to me like he is already in jail, in a tortured world of his own making.

and is still the president. MAL is his White House and he is president there. His followers believe this.

I do not think that it was a slip or evidence of dementia. It was a deliberate, calculated remark to encourage the belief that he is the rightful president, governing from his MAL "White House."
