Ah yes, so in your world, the POTUS could be in a vegetative state, but as long as his policies were acceptable, then the POTUS would be acceptable.

Got it.

Well, the difference in the US, and especially in the American Left, is shocking, too.

I mean, look at the issues and the views Democrats had back then and the views that many of them have now: the difference is staggering.

I was a Democrat in 2000 - not in 2020, no way. Absolutely no way.

If you want to comepare id say Clinton and Biden have had a 10% decline, while trump has had a 70% decline.
I’ll say this: You’re entitled to your opinion. You’re a cheerleader for anti-Trumpers. No, Clinton is not at all as he was 20 years ago. And Biden? You’re the one in denial. BREATHTAKING denial (since you seem to like the word).

Ditto. I walked away from the plantation in 2006.

I’m not a doctor, but I play one on tv.
Watch it, Torn2 .... is the only one on this thread that knows about dementia because he/she has a "medical degree's" except he/she isn't a doctor but has studied dementia for years.

But since we all are playing doctor I'm going with Trump and Parkinson's.

This is not just a case of some slowing down with age - he is a completely different person.

Below is an interview he did with Larry King in 1999. He is calm, articulate, smooth, measured, acts dignified and can speak in complete and complex sentences with a large vocabulary. Heck, I might even have considered voting for him back then, or at least I wouldn't have minded if he got elected. I've no doubt he was just as much the narcissist back then as he is now, but at least he was clearly capable of covering that up with intelligent statements, a generous amount of charm and something resembling at least a facade of compassion.



Fast-forward 21 years and the differences are stunning. His voice is rough, his vocabulary is clearly much smaller, his sentences are short and choppy, and he is constantly repeating himself - the latter of which he does very little of in the 1999 interview. It is breathtaking how completely different he is now. And I note this is an interview with a friendly interviewer. Anybody who denies he has gone drastically downhill since then has blinders on.

I do agree with you. He's sounding more and more irrational. But I also think the power of the presidency has gone to his head. He's desperate to hold on to that. The fact is he desperatly wants to be loved.

Uh-huh, sure you do.

Biden has more than a stutter. It's Beyond pathetic, that they cannot seen the Dementia has set in, with Biden

Trump has no signs. I have medical Degree's. I am not a Doctor, but have studied Dementia For years.

I work with Dementia/Alzheimer Pt's....

I think Trump may be on Adderall or some stimulant.

I've noticed his pupils get big in some of these interviews.

It's not so much cognitive decline in as he's "wired"

That older interview he seems way, way more relaxed
