Trump's Nephew Notes 'Warning Signs' of Family Dementia

Tuesday, August 20, 2024

Fred Trump III, the son of Donald Trump's late brother, Fred Trump Jr., discussed the family's history of dementia and possible signs of the condition in his uncle during an interview last week. "Donald's cousin, John Walters, had dementia. It runs in the family." Fred went on, adding of his uncle: "He looks older. And I get it ... anybody who is in that office looks different than when they come out. But the things he's spewing and the craziness, and he just can't stick to a message. And he used to be able to stick to a message."

Donald Trump spent much of the campaign against President Joe Biden fixated on what he claimed was a "cognitive decline" in his opponent. Polls showed significant portions of voters were concerned about both men's mental acuity.

Trump's been struggling to recalibrate since Biden stepped aside and Harris, a much younger and more energetic candidate, joined the race to a wave of momentum.

Another example of Trump playing the "I know what you are, what am I(?)" card without a single whiff of self awareness.

"And he used to be able to stick to a message."

He seriously can't do that... he drifts off into rants about crowd size, communists... Cannibal Lector. Electric sharks. Imaginary helicopter rides. Racist riffs.

To vote for him, you truly have to hate your Country.

That road Donnie's on, let's call it Dementia Trail, it points in one direction and only one direction. Folks wander off the main path, pursuing some mishmash of thoughts until they are, as the Irish diagnosis runs, utterly unto themselves. Donnie is deep in the weeds now.

Awesome! So now Reps get a chance to ignore the situation, say Trump is more fit than an ox in heat, and completely lie to the American people about his abilities and mental aptitude.

I mean, if Dems can do it, Reps can definitely do it.

Which you people have always taken full advantage of.

I don't know why you're crying. Your mentally ill and morally incompetent excuse for a human being still has a chance at winning.

"Virtually 100% of the net job creation in the last year has gotten to migrants," said Trump, "You know that? Most of the job creation has gone to migrants. In fact, I've heard that substantially more than " uh, beyond, actually beyond the number of 100%, it's a much higher number than that, but the government hasn't caught up with that yet, but virtually right now as of the time they did this virtually 100% of the net job creation in the last year has gone to migrants."[Emphasis added]

If that is true...

Why are companies giving the jobs to migrants?

Stated differently, isn't the real problem to solve ... companies giving jobs to migrants?

Why not? Someone moving from Texas to California is a migrant... they should be denied a job?

Yeah, I also notice fmr Pres Trump's use of "migrant."

I presumed it was just another of his brain farts, and he meant illegal immigrant with his usual exaggerations (lies) of the numbers.

On topic for the thread, at least.

And a mixed blessing is kind of hard to beat.

The mush-brained pedo sounds great.

"We're going to bring up electronics too. Electronics. We buy everything away. When you see the sophistication of the product I just saw at this place. Electronics is peanuts by comparison."

When might fmr Pres Trump step aside and let someone else take the candidancy to the voters?
