Two psychologists are warning that President Donald Trump’s frequent confusion and mounting physical issues may be pointing to something more troubling than just aging. On their podcast Shrinking Trump, psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal argued that the 79-year-old president is showing both physical and linguistic symptoms of what they call “early dementia.”
Not even our first Republican president to get carried through his second term with the onset of dementia.

No. Fucking. Shit.
If it weren’t for his army of handlers he’d be answering a hot iron instead of his phone whole trying to rape an AC power outlet while waiting on hold with Epsteins office
He was mentally unfit long before signs of aging and dementia started appearing. His supporter base will remain in denial about it for as long as he has a pulse.
I’m betting on longer. They’ll worship him for another 100 years.
…we can assess his brain for abnormalities during autopsy. For now let’s just treat him as what he is currently: a domestic enemy to the US and its constitution, a rapist, and a pedophile, among other things.
And this will matter fuck all.
Sleepy Don! That’s what everyone calls him folks. He’s low energy and old. So old. I remember when my dog was old like that. Kristi Noem said to me “just shoot him, take him out back and shoot him” and I did. Just like that! Bang! No more sleepy useless old dog. And lots of people said it was a good thing, including my good friend Jeff.
… and Erdogan has cancer, Putin is seriously ill and the Russian economy is about to collapse any day now …
Instead of wishful thinking, protest, resist, and challenge authoritarianism in every way possible.
“Early” ?!?!?
This was my reaction.
To be fair, I’m pretty sure they’re basing 100% of their analysis on his public appearances, which is likely when he’s at his best. He’s either following a script or he’s been coached on what to say immediately prior to going in front of a camera.
In any case, America is cooked. He’s not going to step down, and there’s still a nontrivial amount of support for him to be installed as grand pubah.
Dude’s fallen asleep on duty several times before. Why the sudden debate?
He’s not even necessarily doing it because he’s old. He just doesn’t care. His handlers will tell him what to sign anyway. Why would he want to waste time listening to people talk? There’s not as much power in the presidency as he had hoped for. He can’t even get alone in a room with small children anymore now that the secret service is always present. All he’s really got left to live for is waiting for whenever he can give more orders to kill brown people.
Trump should be forced to do what he wanted Biden to do. Where’s all those cognitive tests now? What happened to all the concern about elderly presidents in the last 3 years? It was a #1 crisis when Biden was president and every yawn in public was dissected, but now that Trump is dozily walking around, suddenly age doesn’t matter.
How many people will need to get shot in the neck till you realize they are hypocrites ?
Zero, but a few more won’t hurt.
hypocrisy is a defining characteristic of the modern right. That’s why discourse and argument with them has become pointless. Nothing they say can be trusted to be in good faith.
Yeah, where are all the Enlightened Centrists now?

Early? Where have they been for the last several years?
That’s a strange way of spelling last several decades
Expect plans to accelerate. They need to get to the point where they don’t need Trump, asap.
They can’t only one could have successfully taken over Maga without issue was just gun down. Why they are so mad. Vance, Miller, hell no one that could rain in Maga and keep up the momentum that Trump spurred. If Trump dies before the term the movement won’t die but it will splinter.
You also watch as all the Republicans falling in line for Trump would suddenly pivot and pretend they were against the Trump administration from the beginning.
So lets hope Trump dies asap.
Even though I think they are preparing for that too. They are probably at this moment building an AI platform to make Trump look alive until they are at the point they don’t need him. So if suddenly Trump stops public appearances altogether and only way we hear from him is prerecorded videos and tweets then you will know he is dead.
I have no doubt they are willing to weekend at Bernies Trump to keep MAGA in line.
Even if it’s not as president, Trump as an icon, mascot and priest is very possible. Not like his family, who would control his estate and likeness, won’t use his likeness to their advantage after he’s dead.
Sure but have you seen his sons? Those two twats couldn’t wraggle the Trump base. They probably follow in his footsteps and bankrupt the Trump brand within a year.
Apparently you’ve forgotten he has 3 sons, and we don’t know much about Barron, or how compotent or incompetent he is. I have a feeling he’s been getting coaching for him to take over his father’s political legacy.
He came from Trump sure he just fucking dumb. But yeah he might be the true anticrist no telling what they are doing with him.
They do seem to keep in out of the spot light. Either he brain damaged and they don’t want us to know. Or they are grooming him for something bigger and they don’t want us to know.
Regardless Trump dies his other two brothers will probably fight him for the power and the tear it apart with infighting. I am just trying to be hopeful.
Nah, they’ll lose ownership of it and then become targets of their own father after his death if they don’t do what they’re told. I can only imagine the deeply ingrained behaviors they could trigger even when they know it’s not really him.
Nothing about our wanna-be third-world style dictatorship is normal.
Trump is the same age Biden was in 2021.
Just sayin’.
