I just watched my husband go from being about 98% functional (pretty good for an 83 year old man) to institutional level dementia in three months. Don't be insulting. You don't know crap about dementia.
Bunch of Know-it-alls here. Don't pay attention to the Loons, ok.
I just got back from another State - Trump Flags were flying everywhere. Not that, it means anything.
I bought one for my pick up - It's awesome...
Anyway, As I said a few times, I studied Dementia for many years. I work with Dementia Pt's - and Have had a few family members who had it, or have it..
I Lost a very close family member just about a year ago, who had it. It's an awful disease. There are several kinds of Dementia. They had Lewy Body...
My grandfather had it and Now my dad is showing signs. Very difficult to deal with...
If you cannot look at those two videos and conclude that Trump's mental state has gone significantly downhill in the last 20 years, you have blinders on.
I could just as easily say that people like YOU are trying to bring up Biden because YOU are trying to deflect from Trump's blatant mental decline.
Are you in the same mental capability as you were 20 years ago?
Don't BS either, you are not, nobody is.
Provide you non-doctoral excuse as why you don't have any significantly differences in your current state as to 20 years ago.
I'll wait, this should be good.
ETA, if you cannot figure out who your sister is vs. your wife...well....

It is very difficult. The speed at which it happened and the fact that only two months after my husband was institutionalized, I could no longer even see him. That's what's breathtaking. It's hard to listen to armchair neurologists banter so flippantly about what they think they know about dementia.

20 years ago, I was 36. I am virtually the same, if not exactly the same.
You have blinders on if you think the Donald Trump in the 2nd video is the same as the Donald Trump in the first video, sans just a little bit of aging. His deterioration since then is A LOT more than just some natural aging.
My father is 88 and while he's a bit more scatter-brained than he was 30 years ago, when I talk to him on the phone he sounds pretty much the same he did back then. That is NOT the case of the two Donald Trump's in the videos in my OP.
I bet most of the Trumpies in this thread didn't even watch all but a few seconds of the first video. Because if you watch more than just a few seconds of the first video it's stunning how different he was back then. And that's too uncomfortable for Trumpies to admit to themselves.

I completely agree. I always actually LIKED Trump in the early days, and found him a very interesting person to listen to. I completely enjoyed his interview with Oprah, and then this one posted in this thread.
That guy, is a completely likable, normal guy, capable of interesting conversation and leadership. Compelling.
Those who can't see this really shocking change - I guess aren't looking to see it.
At the very first when Trump announced his candidacy, I thought, well, that's someone I can get behind.
But no. His personality change was really, shocking.
Trump has changed a lot even since 2016 he actually sounded sane in 2016. The stress of the office is said to take a tremendous toll I think Trump has really become mentally impaired.

Kind of. But not really. Not the way he sounded 16 years prior.
He has aged in 4 years, but the presidency ages everyone. It's his personality change that's striking over the last 20 years.
Making fun of his female opponents' (who looked perfectly fine) appearances, making fun of that reporter with the disability, coming up with insulting nick names for all his opponents, that's not what ANYONE else was doing.
Stalking Hillary around the stage, physically pushing people away on the stage so he could be in front, that's not a normal person. And that's NOT the man he was in 1999.

Im guessing you voted for trump based on your passionate blind defense of him. I’m also guessing you didn’t watch the videos. My parents are in their 70s and they are in the same mental capability as 20 years ago. Same mental capability is vague anyways.
