.....about NATO soldiers in Afghanistan on his 'Truth Social'.

But too late. What has been said cannot be unsaid and what has been heard cannot be unheard.

Ziplock, yes he is but sadly he is one of many in the White House

Just how can his wife and family stand by silently supporting him.
They are as culpable as him by their silence.
He is sick and should be treated as such.

Power and money

Very unfair to his wife and children, they can’t answer for him.

Unfair to the children, perhaps, but not to the wife!

If one is so unfortunate as to find out one is married to a compulsive liar, it is ones duty to try to stop him from damaging others and his own image by telling lies.

Not unfair to most of his children and in-laws because they are in positions of power and influence due to nepotism.

Ditto Biden's wife and family when he quite clearly had dementia.

But I guess those on the sidelines don't want to give up their lifestyle and the limelight it brings.

Trump has clearly got dementia too, so maybe anybody who hadn’t, who made it through the presidential election process would be a better alternative than either of them Barbadosbelle.

And, the Epstein Files are not forgotten.

At least the Democratics had the decency to remove Biden from the contest.

You say clearly, but really has he? We don’t know. All that he does and says is much in line with how he’s always been.
He’s what? 79? Any slip ups are probably just a bit of natural age and maybe tiredness.It’s too old for the demanding, physically and mentally role of POTUS. Doesn’t mean he has dementia.

Formerly I worked as a mediator. One depressing fact I learned is, in general in life bullying works, bullies do gain advantage. Trump found this out at a early age and has lived his life getting away with it. Now he is a very dangerous person without the normal internal controls we learn - and now with unbounded power.

There is exactly the same speculation about him from doctors etc. as there was about Biden, it’s a mirror image. He rambles for hours off the point, is unable to stick to any kind of script, regularly needs assistance, and gets very confused - he even confused Greenland and Iceland last week. These are not just faux pas, he has lost his filter, which is another clear sign of dementia. Do you really think it is just tiredness?

Those tests recently, that he 'aced', are to measure cognitive decline.

Interesting that he demanded an apology from the BBC when he claimed to be misrepresented by them, but he is unlikely to apologise to all the families of soldiers who were killed or maimed in Afghanistan. He really does think he is beyond criticism!
ike others have said on this thread, he is one of the vilest men on the planet.!
