Has Trump completely lost what was left of his mind?

Would be interesting to hear from anyone on Gransnet from the USA on what they think of Trump.

My mother had dementia and am not seeing the same signs in Trump. He could have early dementia but not the final stages. In the final stages my mum would sit in her chair with the thousand yard stare, unable to recognise or respond to us, if she had to go somewhere she had to be physically led because she had no idea where to go.
Whoever suggested he is in the final stages has obviously never witnessed what this looks like.

I don’t think he behaves any differently than he always has done. Other than nodding off a lot but he’s an 80 year old man. I’m 74 and fall asleep whenever I sit down.

I don’t think he is demented,either. If he was it might excuse some of his behaviour. I think he knows precisely what he is doing. Completely different mindset and I am sure a lot in the ‘deep South’ share his way of looking at things.

From instagram. “For the FIFTH time this year, the Trump administration is paying more than a BILLION DOLLARS not to build something.

Fifth time this year.

The running total for paying companies to abandon clean power is creeping up on $4 billion in public money.

RWE had leases lined up for wind turbines off New York, California, and Louisiana, including a project near Humboldt, California. Doug Burgum's Interior Department bought them out instead. RWE says the cash is headed toward gas and LNG projects.

Let's call this what it is: Not a subsidy for wind. A bounty for killing it”.

A coincidence that Kiev was intensely bombarded last night after Putin had talked to Trump's representative? Obviously, Trump is feverishly cosying up to Putin even if it costs the lives of civilians - so what? Trump will dismiss this as 'a price worth paying' (a phrase he is fond of as long as his arse is not in the firing line.)

But hey, Putin is a humanitarian according to Trump and co. It's those troublemaking Ukrainians to blame, innit?

What a Godawful world this is........

There are different forms of dementia.

And it takes years to develop.

The main Trump problem has always been his personality. I’m curious about what a psychiatric assessment would diagnose and, I’m sure there would be diagnoses.
Meanwhile it’s enough to describe his personality and behaviour . He’s an arrogant, self serving bully who lies frequently and with supreme disregard for laws or social norms.

It’s scary that he’s twice been elected president. Or three times if we agree with his view that Biden cheated him

He has had assessments.
More than one.
The type you give when you suspect that a person has begun their dementia journey, or have suffered a stroke.
Why would he have multiples of these assessments, in such a short space of time if dementia was not suspected?

I just listened to one of his so called ‘speeches’. Along with it being incoherent rambling he started making weird grunting noises.

Yep, apart from being a deeply unpleasant man, there is something else going on.

We do. She often posts to give us the us perspective.

Trump is definitely not a well man. Some of team are also people who seem to be unstable. Hegseth is a religious fanatic and Witkoff thinks Putin is a humanitarian. Vance is just creepy.

Regardless of whether or not he has dementia, the man's a sociopath.

Agree with this.

Remember when Putin first invaded Ukraine and everybody thought he was seriously ill eg his face looked puffy, he must be being treated for something bad. We just try to make excuses for their behaviour when the truth of the matter is that people that behave like Trump and Putin are just plain nasty in a way decent people can’t understand.

It has been reported that there is more than one 'Putin', that he has body doubles. Not just conspiracy theories, many well-known people have posited that as a possibility.

When he looked puffy, his face had that look that people get when they have to take steroids.

For your entertainment, a bit of civil disobedience to make their lives hard.

Oh yes, imaround, I heard about this and it did cause me much amusement. A fine example of the unlooked for consequences of decisions.

His possible dementia is never an excuse for his previous actions.

His possible decline into dementia means the point will come when it may not longer be ignored, and explained away by his enablers.

Thank you for the entertainment imaround .

How ironic that Trump's project WHIP has turned on him.

We have few American GNs on here and one in particular is very vocal and informative.
