Reporter Writes About Trump's 'mental decline becomes more obvious'

Longtime White House reporter Brian Karem is suggesting that, as disturbing as Donald Trump's mental decline has become more apparent during his second term, what is even more dangerous are the people who support him and defend despite evidence that he is giving signs that he is slipping.

Trump is everything they said Obama was to us. They literally thank G-d for Trump. He is their Messiah. In terms of his messaging, he is very similar to ho the Prophet Muhammad.

@#11 ... You -------- forfeited your right to play arm-chair doctor when you claimed for 4 years that Biden was fit as a fiddle. ...

I will say that even in fmr Pres Biden's apparent state, that he has not done as much damage to the Republic as Pres Trump seems to be doing.


OK, let's start with a premise that your current alias seems to agree with ...

Both Pres Trump is suffering and fmr Pres Biden had suffered a mental decline while in office.

OK, given that, which one of the two has actively been doing damage to the Democracy of the Republic? And how/why?

imo, that is the operative question here.

What are the desired end results of those two possible mental declines?

Whataboutisms are still logical fallacies that don't address an argument to the current point, that being Trump's obvious mental decline.

They are merely claims of some perceived hypocrisy, usually from people who have no argument at all.

Donald Trump's severe problems with thought and emotion have been visible and known since 2016.

It's going to be fascinating to see just how much gibberish and destruction the man will be allowed to create before MAGA is provoked into acting in defense of their own self-interests.

Trumpy just likes to hear himself talk. He can talk for hours and hours and say absolutely nothing of significance. It's an amazing thing to witness. If you can stand it.

#50 | Posted by fishpaw at 2025-05-30 01:56 PM

Please allow me to remind our friends on the other side of the political spectrum that Democrats demanded Joe Biden step aside in 2024. An organization of angry voices far too late, absolutely! He should have never ran again and I did not vote for him in the primary. I did not donate money to him. I wrote to him directly in January asking him to declare he was not running again.

But comparing Trump to Biden is both baffling and troubling. Biden was NEVER an openly "us against them" schemer, and NEVER motivated by revenge. We are now seeing a psychotic Alzheimer's patient destroy much of America and divide the people for personal gain AND openly take bribes AND ruin all of our alliances.

And for what? owning the libs? Attacking higher education so it becomes a watered down piece of feces like all red states public schools and Hillsdale "College" and Liberty "University"? Is that what Trump party members want, a dumbing down of higher education while lying to the public that you are "curing' it of DEI and "wokeness," concepts you cannot even correctly define?

The Republican Party used to stand for intellectual discourse and restraint. Now it is a deeply malevolent joke.

Hoover was the leader of the Gangster Disciples and in the 1990s was given six life sentences on conspiracy, extortion, drug and other criminal charges."

Corky,

Sure, some of Trump's pardons and commutations have stirred up controversy but I'm talking about Diddy, sex trafficking and God knows what else he'll end up guilty of.

Totally different league.

Don't waste my time bringing up other cases.

I'm not going to say it again....apparently you don't understand English goodly.

I am talking about Diddy since that was what was Trump was asked about today.

Encroaching dementia is only part of the Trump mental issue.

The man has pre-existing psychiatric issues of the most severe sort.

Because of this----Yes, BILL JOHNSON----There is every chance that Donald pardons Diddy.

Precisely because such an act is trangressive and hurts people, including the Republican Party.

#122 | Posted by Zed at 2025-05-31 01:50 PM

Not nearly enough is said about Donald Trump's sadism.

The man hurts and destroys because harm and destruction give him pleasure. Ego satisfaction.

But yeah, this might very well include sexual pleasure.

One day Melania will get paid a million dollars for telling the truth.

#123 | Posted by Zed at 2025-05-31 01:55 PM

Melania will talk about how much of a gentleman Donald was (after he passes). She will note that he laughed uproariously over the fact that he absolutely lived in the head of some rando living in Texas and he made a Pulp Fiction reference about it.

#124 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-05-31 03:13 PM

Zed,

"There is every chance that Donald pardons Diddy."

Trump's handed out plenty of pardons, but none have gone to anyone convicted of rape, sex trafficking, or violent crimes.

A pardon for Diddy would be like tossing a live grenade into the GOP.

Sure, Trump's past pardons will be talked about, but they won't sway the next election.

This one would.

Honestly, the odds of Diddy getting a pardon are about the same as Kanye being named Secretary of State.

Both are within the realm of possibilities now.

"Ron Safer, a former U.S. attorney in Chicago who helped prosecute members of the Gangster Disciples during the 1990s, said he was shocked and dismayed by Trump's decision to commute Hoover's sentence.

He pointed out that Hoover's gang was one of the largest and most violent drug syndicates in the U.S., operating in 35 states according to the U.S Justice Department. Hoover himself was convicted of state and federal charges including murder and use of a firearm while trafficking drugs.

"Larry Hoover was the head of perhaps the most pernicious, efficient drug operation in the United States," Safer said.

"They sold over $100 million of drugs a year in the city of Chicago alone. They were responsible for countless murders. They supported their drug territories with ruthless violence."

Corky,

Show me a single example of Trump pardoning someone convicted of rape, sex trafficking, or any violent sex crime.

#131 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-05-31 04:33 PM

A few of the J6 rioters were sex criminals and pedos.

No..he wasn't.

How honest.

#134 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-05-31 04:40 PM

Alex,

The individuals were pardoned for their actions related to January 6.

Their prior convictions for sex crimes were part of their criminal past.

Therefore, Trump did not pardon individuals specifically for sex crimes.

#135 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-05-31 04:43 PM

Alex,

Fair point. I later caught that myself.

I was specifically referring to crimes of a sexual nature, not all violent crimes.

That is the context of the other things I mentioned.

Thanks for the correction.

The willful blindness you have both to Trump's lack of character and his mental illness is a case study in itself.

I am going to predict that Donald intervenes in Diddy's conviction to help him.

Not much of a risk on my part.

Speaking with members of the press on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump floated the possibility of issuing a presidential pardon to disgraced rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, saying "it's not a popularity contest" and "I would certainly look at the facts" if asked. ...



#142 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-05-31 07:45 PM

BJ... admit when you are wrong; Trump pardoned people who have committed violent crimes and sex crimes. Period. Full stop.

He also indicated he would consider pardoning Mr. Combs; you said he wouldn't.

Trump is in general a vile POS; a poor excuse for a human being, much less a President... I have no earthly idea how anyone could think otherwise given the facts.

" Donald Trump

"I love to have enemies. I fight my enemies. I like beating my enemies to the ground."

" Donald Trump

"My style of dealmaking is quite simple and straightforward. I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I'm after."

Zvoo-o-o-o-o-o-o-OOOOP!!! Donald Trump's helicopter has just taken a sickening dip to one side several hundred feet over the outflowing sludge of New York harbor. When the wind is 30 m.p.h., death suddenly seems like something on which one of Trump's Atlantic City casinos might offer unpleasant odds.

"Is this thing safe?" asks a reporter who has been assigned to find out what makes the billionaire wheeler-dealer the way he is.

"When the Queen of England is over in this country," says Trump, illustrating once again the way he is, "they call my office to find out if they can use the helicopter because it's the safest helicopter."

It is, in fact, a ten-seat French Puma, which Trump bought for $2 million and which he claims is worth $10 million. ("I love the bargain," he says. "I love quality, but I don't believe in paying top price for quality.") It has TRUMP painted in large white letters on its black fuselage, and the entrepreneur uses it to commute at least once a week between New York and Atlantic City.

"But don't you ever get scared?"

"No, I'm a fatalist. I don't think anything scares me. There's no great way to die. My general attitude is to attack life, and you can't attack if you're frightened. Besides, my pilots are the best, and I pay whatever it takes. When it comes to pilots, doctors, accountants, I don't chisel."

"Have you ever thought about psychotherapy?"

"No," says Trump, a little surprised. "I've never felt even close to needing it. I haven't ever felt that I was out of control. I keep busy. I don't have time to think about my problems." ...



Yeah, that last quote is the Pres Trump I've known since the late 1980's, 1990's.

The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. ... I think that the guy is lazy.

And it's probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.

It really is, I believe that.

It's not anything they can control." Trump later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that "the stuff O'Donnell wrote about me is probably true." ,,,?blockquote>.
