I think you are correct. My mother was an intelligent woman with a large vocabulary. When she got dementia, her vocabulary got smaller and smaller and she used a lot of repeated phrases that she could remember. If you go back and listen to DT speak even 15 years ago, the difference is vast.

So many people are culpable. Every Republican who has not stood up to him is guilty. He could not do half of the damage he has done without people aiding him.

This is a very tough picture to look at from Chicago…

Making people’s insurance unaffordable, kicking poor and disabled people off of Medicaid (after the midterms) putting a quack in charge of our health. It all adds up to people getting sick and dying. Culling the herd. These are not good people in power.

All true, but he is also a pathological liar. He lied about covid even though he knew it was very serious. He is like a child who thinks he can wish things away. He has lied his whole life about things big and small and has clearly gotten away with it!

I adjusted immediately! Love my progressives. I can see close, medium, and far perfectly.

It’s just unbelievable to me how this whole crew works around the clock to break things, enrich themselves and hurt people. They are actually very good at all three. Just not good at what the actual job is ( serving the American people) or being decent human beings.

Somehow, I am still able to be shocked by his words. I believe most people are horrified by him and his ilk. He has succeeded in scaring lots of people from speaking out. But we are seeing courage in ordinary people standing up to ICE, attending protests and voting. We can’t give up hope.

It’s really dark to accept this truth but every action illuminates it. They are making massive cuts to Medicaid (after the midterms) and then are making the ACA unaffordable for most. We have a quack leading DHS who is against vaccines and any real experts. So they want us sick, poor and then dead.

Most corrupt administration ever. All in plain sight.

Agree 100%. I even get upset when the weekday morning shows normalize him by making benign comments. It’s like so much of our journalism is just pretending that he is just our usual President. How is it possible that he could have that crazy string of online comments and msm will not mention it?

As ignorant as he is, he knows where the MRI was. If it was of his brain, it is not super comfortable and you can’t miss it. And you would also know if it was somewhere else! When he does not want to answer, he says he has no idea. And also, he lies as he breathes.

Both my daughter and my best friend are speech pathologists. Both have said his speech is indicative of his cognitive decline. If you listen to him speak even a decade ago, the difference is shocking. I mean, he was always an ignorant incurious man but he now is showing signs of dementia.

He has no redeeming qualities. That has been clear for a long time. What I am struggling with, are those that support him still. Most of us know seemingly good people who do. It is both shocking and depressing.

I live in Park Ridge IL,an upper middle class suburb right next to Chicago. Our school district went on lockdown Friday because ICE was right near several elementary schools. They were snatching up lawn workers in our town. And they had a helicopter!! Just so awful and unacceptable.
