The "Trump staring into space" photo is the cause for a lot of jokes. But it isn't funny. This isn't apathy - he looks ABSENT.
This looks like a clear sign of dementia and should be cause for consideration of the 25th amendment.

If you know who you’re voting for & strongly support them, one thing you can do to help that campaign is to VOTE EARLY! The campaigns know who has voted (& who hasn’t) & will spend resources contacting their likely voters until Election Day OR until you vote!
