(6,121 posts)Not only does he exhibit clear signs of cognitive decline, but he has been pretty reliably described as suffering from Malignant Narcissism. And goodness knows what other maladies are hidden under that mop he calls his hair. Anyone with a few brain cells and a decent working memory knows that behavior with tRump is changing over time. There are countless videos and interviews with him over decades that show a definite difference in how he spoke and behaved in the past. The filter that kept him sounding more sane has now eroded so he cannot hide his decline. He meanders, gets distracted and contradicts himself often within minutes of making a statement.
It was one thing when he was Donald Trump, businessman and real estate investor to be impulsive and incoherent. But now that he is President of the United States, we are in a whole other territory, We are finding out how different as he stumbles from one crisis and ill timed statement or decision to the next. I have no idea if we can recover from this terrible event of having a man like Trump in charge of so much of our lives as a nation. Admittedly even our day to day personal lives are impacted by his rash and incoherent behavior.
Someone with the knowledge and authority should have put a stop to his presidency long ago. But they did not step up to save us and our country. How much longer this is allowed to continue is the big question. And even bigger? What will follow once he is removed, dies or his term grinds to a stop?
