      Clearly too far gone. The campaign trail is clearly exhausting him. In all these years full of bullshit, I’ve never seen anything like the last month.

        I hope we see him running in public in diapers, asking where his mommy is. worst part is he’d probably get a couple more votes out of it.

          His followers would just put on diapers and run through the streets with him. They’re too far gone.

      I think it’s more that he doesn’t like reality, so it’s simply not true to him… but he’s not shy about lying, and is clearly losing his mind - ladies and gentlemen, I give you the disaster that’s a coin flip away from running the global hegemon …again.

    We took my grandmother out for her 80th birthday. Her dementia had progressed, but was still not too far along that we could still have conversations with her. She’d often forget who, where, or when we were and would frequently go on very charming, albeit confusing tangents.

    At one point on the car ride home, my sister tells her, “Happy birthday!” My grandmother asks, “it’s my birthday?” Giddily, my sister replies, “yes! It’s your 80th birthday!”

    My grandmother gets a sudden moment of lucidity and says, “I’m 80?? That’s terrible news!”

    Whether Trump is just saying shit or has forgotten his age, there’s no excuse for saying that he’s not that close to 80 where he comes out sounding okay. Then again, his supporters seem to want a racist Alzheimer’s patient for president…

        He also makes bank campaigning. That’s far more important to him than anything.
        He’ll never see a jail cell anyways.

          That’s also weird to me. As soon as i have enough money to feel kinda secure for the next few months, making more money is not a huge priority anymore. Other interests then become way more important. This too is not optimal, i know. But it always has been like this for me. I wonder why i’m missing the greed gene 🤔

            I feel the same way but I don’t want the back-and-forth of finding a job. Accumulate enough to retire very modestly and then just enjoy living. I can’t imagine trying to hoard more money than I need to survive this lifetime.

        You’re crediting him with far too much competence.

        His handler has said he has to continue, and he’ll obey

        If avoiding prison was all he wanted he could just release his medical records. The one who definitely don’t say he had a series of strokes.

        He’s a powerful narcissist, with probable dementia, surrounded by yes-men very heavily invested in this election. I’m not even sure he even has the capacity to fear legal repercussions for his actions.

          Trump planned for and started this run years ago when his dementia wasn’t nearly as advanced.

          Besides, plenty of people with serious mental conditions go to prison. There is only one reason he won’t be one of them. He’s wealthy and only the first part of “Liberty and Justice” applies to him.

      You can’t retire if you have never worked?

      Aah, that’s what the 15 minutes mc donalds was for.
