Trump's Cognitive Decline Becoming a Troubling Concern

Las Vegas Sun: Donald Trump's racism, sexism, xenophobia and penchant for corruption have long made him unfit for any public office, let alone the presidency. But as he continues his bid for a second term in the White House, there is an unsettling and undeniable shift that is leading many experts, observers and even some Trump supporters to conclude that the former president's mental acuity and sharpness are also in decline, that his physical health and stamina are waning and that his frustration and anger are boiling over.

Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump's words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness.

There's no need to resort to armchair psychology to interpret what's apparent. If victorious, Trump would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. In recent weeks, he has canceled an increasing number of public appearances, with Trump's own campaign citing the candidate's exhaustion. When he does appear publicly, Trump struggles to complete sentences or sustain coherent thoughts, and has shown a pronounced difficulty concentrating and a tendency to repeat himself, sometimes within the same sentence.

Funny how this was the fatal flaw that caused Joe Biden to drop out, yet Trump supporters are ignoring a worse decline in him - evident almost every single day as he attempts to give his stump speeches.

"Donald Trump has never had the moral compass to lead this country. But even his supporters cannot afford to ignore the signs that he may no longer have the mental faculties to lead it either. The stakes are simply too high."

Indeed.

Trump is exhibiting indicators of having recently experienced a minor stroke. The leg dragging should be very concerning to all but especially to those who were pointing at Biden's signs of decline. x.com

Trump is way past early onset.

His truncated campaign schedule is a clear indication that his staff is just trying to keep him half-way medicinally lucid until the election.

We'll find out what medications he's been on when he goes to trial and his attorney tries to declare him mentally incompetent.

The only thing that is keeping Orange Adolf upright is his adderall and cocaine cocktail.
He's going to crash and we are going to have a few "weekend at Donnie's" moments.

I can hardly wait for Jack Smith to pounce so we can get off this election gig and move on to Trumps many trials. I think we're going to need a scorecard.

Meanwhile Putin and Xi are licking their chops at the prospect of a true Dotard on the other side of the table, easily open to manipulation by flattery. They are laughing at the chance to face JV, if Der Dotard were to die in office. A mouse facing two cobras is not an image American people want to see ...

Yeah, I know, but we're burned out on elections. We'll need the trials to keep us titillated between November '24 and the next election.

America always provides.

If he wins there won't be any trials. If he loses he'll be in a wheelchair, Melania-sized dark glasses and an oxygen mask so fast it will make your head spin.

Naw! I'm counting on him losing and watching his attorneys try to get him off as being mentally incompetent to stand trial.

Sometimes it appears that they're already building their case. One Trump flub after another along with his nonsensical meandering and truncated schedule at the most important time in a campaign.

Something in the political air has changed these last few days. I can't be the only one who senses it.

If he loses his lawyers will disappear so fast it will look like a David Copperfield trick.
