Is Donald Trump In Cognitive Decline? - Raw News And Politics

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump has had some disturbing memory lapses lately in which he believed he won an election against Barack Obama and that he ran against George W. Bush in 2016. - 09/26/2023.

1. It would be more surprising if massive stress were not having an effect on him.

I hope the FBI is supplying him with fake mosters and fake hitmen because when malignant narcissists are going through what he's going through, they try to executye their way out of it.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. And we just heard that he "might" have bought a gun

[Warpy]

3. Apparently he did, in SC, a Glock handgun

and since he's under felony indictment, it was an illegal purchase. Somebody needs to take it away from him quickly.

4. His aide took a video of it, then tried to delete it

What a day, he illegally bought a gun the same week that President Biden launched his task force and he plans to speak at a non-union plant just as President Biden joined the union picket lines.

8. His mouthpiece claimed he did

But later had to retract. Is is against the law for an indicted person to buy a gun.

He also sounds as if the Bush family was Democratic.

To top it off I just heard he is going to a non Union shop today! Real smart when Union workers are fighting to get benefits back they gave up during the bankruptcy years ago. Auto companies. Making huge profits now.

10. Well, we know that he thinks he's above any laws. We've seen that since he was indicted

And we also know that he's been Republican, Democratic and Independent, but did he ever even vote? He does whatever he thinks is in his own interest. And he's also been anti-union, so this should come as no surprise. Either that or it's just another indication that he has no idea what he's doing.

11. I go with the second choice. He never has known reality and never tried

To learn. Most of us try to learn new facts, not Trump.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. You're sure right about that!

When he was in the White House, he farmed out what duties he could, mostly to Jared Kushner. He preferred to hold his "rallies." And we know he didn't read anything, including the presidential daily briefings. We heard that he'd rip them up and since they were required to be saved for the National Archives (like classified documents), his aides scrambled to tape them back together.

19. The terrifying part is that malignant narcissists don't shoot themselves

not even when they're in full collapse. If somebody doesn't take that gun away from him, he's going to shoot someone else.

5. You mean, like, since 1980? Yeah. I knew that.

[mahina]

6. Well, he did not have far to fall

[Rhiannon12866]

9. Exactly, he's been known to contradict himself more than once in the same sentence

13. People - normal people - go through stages of cognitive development.

As a child, you assume and question nothing.
There are few rules, and those that are applied to you can be bent or ignored.

As you get older, you become aware of the world around you, the rules that govern your behaviour, what is right and what is wrong, so you can fit into civilized society. Maybe even develop a moral compass and an internal dialog to guide your behavior.

Only as you get much older, do the neural pathways that make you who you grew up to be, weaken and decline.

You get confused, you mix facts, you make stuff up. And people start calling you senile.

Trump though, skipped a few steps along the way.

He was always a word salad type of guy, now he is losing the memory fact base he used to toss the salad previously.

But yeah, talk about defending the airports, preventing WW2, defeating Obama, whatever.

Unfortunately the inclination to delude, deceive and misdirect people fades the last in senile dementia.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Well said.

And you're right, he already didn't have too far to go...

[Bucky]

14. How could you tell?

I mean, besides all the evidence

[CaptainTruth]

16. Yes, for many years now.

[samplegirl]

17. I hope so

I hope he’s just a nursinghome away!

18. The insanity plea.
