Nah, the media is full of lies. So he's entitled to mess with them and fight back.

He's a fighter. That's a good thing. A quality most people lack.

Just because you don't agree with Trump's policies your excuse is his mental decline ha ha

 

 

Not only does he not have mental decline, but he might be a ... genius

Of course Trump's lack of connection with objective reality, etc. was very evident long before he tragically took office a second time, yes, the American people (in their reckless self destructive idiocy) did indeed create this problem by electing him again.

 

Donald Trump Dementia Evidence 'Overwhelming,' Says Top Psychiatrist - Newsweek

www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-dementia-evidence-overwhelming-top-psychiatrist-1881247

 

There is "overwhelming" evidence that Donald Trump is suffering from dementia, a leading psychiatrist has claimed, amid speculation about the state of the former president's mental health.

Dr. Lance Dodes, a supervising analyst emeritus of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and retired Harvard Medical School professor, was among those recently quoted by Duty To Warn, which describes itself as an association of mental health professionals concerned about Trump.

"Unlike normal aging, which is characterized by forgetting names or words, Trump repeatedly shows something very different: confusion about reality," he wrote in a statement published on Friday, which referenced Trump's confusing Barack Obama with Joe Biden.

 

East to mix them up - they were both a-holes.

Trump showed clear signs of mental instability long before he was ever elected. The United States will NEVER live this down.  One of the craziest elected officials in history. His war with the American media is proof of his unfitness for office.

That is the radicle progressive media with the saps of the planet. Unfitness would be not taking on these sorry miscreants. And that includes these radicles at some of the Universities with their treasonous policies. Anyhow, ya alls endless hissy fits about Trump and policies is my Schadenfreude

Trump's cognitive decline.

Medical experts provide detailed evidence of his dementia.

What I have noticed lately is Trump is unable to answer certain questions

that are put to him , "I dont know" , "I will have to ask the DOJ about that,"

when asked if he needs to uphold the Constitution , "I dont know"  ,

Politicians  never say I don't know ,they will spew anything out if they

don't know , but will  never admit to "They don't know"  thats Donny

2 dolls ....

He is a genius of political propaganda. But he's still a human with a family history of dementia. He's not a God. It's obvious what's happening to him to anyone honest enough to observe the ample evidence. For the sake of his own health and  more so a more positive future of the USA and the world the only solution is to remove him from power asap.

Compared to Biden Trump is a genius. Biden was genuinely senile but the dems coverd it up.

Indeed . All of the above. And facts it seems some are still in denial about as shown by the down votes. And this deluded denial is what lost the election - and will continue to lose future elections. So just leave these people to their problems - Because they got them.

LOL, good one. And so so stable to boot!

[Jingthing]

If loyalists covering up for Biden's mental issues was wrong and it was, it follows that it's also wrong for maga cult Trump loyalists to cover up for Trump's cognitive decline (and pretend it's not a problem when it's obviously a huge massively consequential problem for the entire world).

But of course so many of the maga cult are insufferable HYPCOCRITES about this.

There really is no reasoning with such people. Their loyalty towards Trump has nothing at all to do with logic or rationality.

“We don’t do much business with Canada from our standpoint. They do a lot of business with us. We’re at like 4%,” Trump said. That “4%” figure is wrong. Official US data shows that Canada bought about 17% of US goods exports...  🤣

There are only two possible explanations:

1. He is a shameless liar.

2. He's not even able to remember basic numbers and orders of magnitude about one of his hottest topics.

 

Question to MAGAs: what's your explanation? 1 or 2? 🤣

[BKKKevin]

Sadly the average MAGA supporter finds his pathological lying one of his major strengths...

I think he is on new meds, and they are trying to balance them.

 

He looks quite different at different times of the day, and they juice him for the bigger events.

 

It's like his makeup/hair...looks good (well for orange tones) for events, but while golfing he looks like a walking corpse.

 

His TruthSocial bleats, posted nearly 7/24/365 seem to indicate a failing mind.

 

 

I’ve noticed that he has a very strand look about him lately, especially in his eyes. He’s not looking like himself at all.

I am no loyalist to Trump.  Nor am I a cultist of MAGA.  I am also not so far lost as to grasping at straws thinking Trump is mentally unfit based on far left shrinks saying he is in cognitive decline.  Unlike Biden who was kept apart from media or the public in any setting to hide his stumbling mental decline Trump is front and center nearly every day.  Like him, hate him, whatever there is no comparison to the energy and focus displayed between he and Biden. 

 

It is clear the left has no clothes when all they can do is try to spin his bombastic speaking habits into cognitive decline.  Instead, people who disagree with his actions should do so with thought out alternatives.  That would get respect from those of us in the middle.  The funniest thing is from the perspective of some members of this forum those of us in the middle are perceived as MAGA cultist Trumpbots.  Funny stuff.

Aging in this photo

 

[ukrules]

Voting people approaching 80 years of age into the presidency was never a great idea.

I don't know any 80 year olds who are in peak performance mode. Not one, ever.

 

The oldest person ever elected President was Biden until Trump won again - now he holds the record.

I think when Vance runs next time around which I'm sure he will it will be a nice reset back to someone a little more youthful, his opponent would also hopefully be a lot younger.

 

A job like the presidency is not suited to someone who should be retired. It's a younger mans game.

Vance would need to get nominated first to be running against a democrat. He's got the charisma of a bowl of cold porridge.

That was one of the reasons I never voted for Trump in the primaries.  I think the perfect area of age for a leader is between 55-65.  Most of us are still 100% mentally and can take the physical toll of being president for 4 years.

 

On Vance we'll see.  I'm hoping that near the end of Trumps term we see either massive improvement in our governments spending/income and debt AND an economy picking up steam from the bottom up.  If so perhaps Vance needs to be considered.  

 

If as the leftists like to think instead we are entering into a massive decline then I would entertain a DEM candidate.  But they would have to disavow all the crazy far left stuff that has taken over their party.  If not I'd have to vote for Ghengis Khan over a DEM.  And for gods sake they MUST have a candidate better than Kamala.  That has to be the worst candidate put on the ballot in my life.

Trump's cognitive decline.

Medical experts provide detailed evidence of his dementia.

 

 

 

The Goldwater Rule is an ethical guideline for psychiatrists, prohibiting them from offering professional opinions about public figures without first conducting an examination and obtaining proper authorization. This rule was established in response to concerns about psychiatrists making uninformed assessments of public figures' mental health, particularly during the 1964 presidential campaign when there were discussions about Barry Goldwater's mental state. 

 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Purpose:

The primary goal was to prevent psychiatrists from offering casual or speculative opinions about public figures' mental health, especially without a proper examination. 

Scope:

The Goldwater Rule applies to all professional opinions, not just diagnoses, and extends to public figures in the media or those who have disclosed information publicly. 

Ethical Concerns:

The rule addresses ethical concerns about the potential for harm to public figures and the integrity of the profession when psychiatrists offer opinions without proper evaluation, says Psychiatry.org. 

Contemporary Relevance:

The rule continues to be relevant, particularly during election seasons or when public figures are subject to intense scrutiny, according to Psychiatric Times. 

Origins:

The rule originated in 1973 as part of the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics.

But part of that duty rests on having done a proper evaluation, according to Dr. David Goldbloom, a psychiatry professor and senior medical adviser for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “You are intervening to abrogate fundamental civil freedoms,” he said. “You can’t do that from having read an article or watched television.”

 

 

Armchair diagnosis can also harm trust in the medical profession, according to Brendan Leier, a clinical ethicist at the John Dossetor Health Ethics Centre. Doctors are stewards of an inherited trust. “What you do can undermine that trust,” he said, because diagnosing public figures on cable TV could cause you to be perceived more as a political advocate than a physician.
