At some
point, we have to address the gorilla in the room.
Mental
illness is not new to kings or presidents.
During Ronald Regan’s last year in office, the White House and Nancy
Regan covered up the President’s onset of Alzheimer's dementia.
Joe Biden
was showing mental deterioration that comes with advancing age.
But there
are more and varying mental illnesses than just Alzheimer’s and the cognitive
decline of aging.
Just because
President Trump can recognize a giraffe and a rhinoceros, and pass a dementia test
(A+++++), does not explain his total obsession with winning a Nobel Prize, his
constant need for admiration and adoration, his erratic dealings with American allies,
and his unreasonable demand to acquire Greenland.
We have
three more years of a Donald Trump presidency, and we can only hope that what
we are seeing are character flaws, and not the delusional actions of a mad
king.

I don't believe he passed the dementia test.
ReplyDeleteIt's dementia. I worked in nursing homes. I saw enough cognitive decline to get a decent sense of what dementia looks like. It was obvious already in 2015 that squirrels had chewed through Trump's wiring. If he wasn't a rich white guy or if he had family that actually cared about Cheetolini he'd have been tucked into a secure memory care unit years ago.
ReplyDeleteI have known well two alzheimer patirnts. My mothe rin law - she was a sweetheart, Then was a good friend's father who was prone to angry and sometimes violent outbursts. He also would go on rants that sounded almost identical to the word salads Trump uses.
DeleteWhen Trump was busy bankrupting his Atlantic City Casinos in the 1990s is when I really began to pay more attention to him. He not right in the head bank then I thought. But I blew it off as just another scam artist. Then when he saw some success with the Apprentice, I knew he was not right. I think he has been showing signs of mental problems at least that far back. The dementis he is showing now is nothing the icing on the cake that was a bad bake to begin with.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the link though. I will forward it to someone I am not fond of.
