    On the one hand yeah that entirely possible. On the other hand, Trump clearly suffers from dementia, and he just may not know what the fuck is going on at any given moment and tries to go with it, failing constantly and his staff is failingly trying to cover it all up every time.

      He has somewhat been backed into a corner.

      Does he:

      • admit that Elon bullshitted him, tricked him, the master negotiator and businessman?
      • admit that he has no idea what is going on?

      I think Elon’s drop in popularity and recent hate has become too much to keep him around.

      He was a useful tool at the time, I don’t think the whole DOGE thing was actually there to do good, just to ride Elon’s popularity to a win and then shape the government the way they wanted to take advantage and then toss him aside when they achieved their goals.

      But also, yes, I believe that Dementia Don’s mind is checking out fast.

      He’s like racist old grandpa who has lost his mind and on autopilot now, mumbling about shit nobody has an idea about… except he is steering the car off the road with all the passengers screaming.

      Should have taken his license away years ago.

      No. That’s giving him far too much credit and giving him a pass for the evil. This isnt the confusion of an old man, it’s evil by design. Nobody gets a pass, especially not him.

        I think that certain mental issues just breaks down whatever filter was there, that thing stopping them saying what they truly feel.

        I know I should not say this, because people will lash out at me or may hurt my brand… but as soon as the dementia sets in all bets are off, the filter is gone and whatever evil is contained comes forward.

          People need to stop making the claim of dementia or Alzheimer’s, they guy is just a spoiled rich old bitch, it doesn’t require a disorder. Stop making excuses for his behavior, he was just raised by shitty rich people to be a shitty rich person and he’s just too fucking old.

            He has always been an asshole, I’m not saying it’s the dementia, I’m saying whatever filters he had are being broken down by dementia (from my limited understanding of it).

            He is an asshole, always was an asshole, this is nothing new.

            He is an entitled, horrible orange shit and the way he rambles on about nothing on stage and cannot keep focused seems to point to his mental decline.
