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.”

    You guys realize the GOP already has a handle on this kind of political candidate right?

    This is the third dementia riddled presidential term they’ve had.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Early dementia refers to the progression of the disease, he’s unlikely to die from it during this term.

      As opposed to early onset dementia which is when a younger person than usual is diagnosed.

      Yeah, he’s already seven years past the average lifespan here in the US.

    If medical professionals are giving their expert advice to the Grim Reaper, is Las Vegas placing bets as to where he will eventually kick the bucket? In the golf cart, teeing off, during a meeting, etc…

      Unless he gets shot first, he’s dying peacefully in his sleep within the next 3 years, never seeing due consequences for his many atrocities. Maybe there’s a slight chance he’ll fall down the stairs or have a very public stroke, and holy shit I hope not because wild conspiracy theories about a Havana syndrome type woke commie laser beam assassination would spread like trump’s syphilis.

    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

      Bullshit. No way he can multitask like that. I mean, he’s already trying to do all of that anyway, and just look at how well that’s gone for him.

      The GOP president was always a mouthpiece anyway.

      It’s why I try to talk about the Heritage Foundation policies instead of Trump. It’s a lot of rich assholes, not old white crazy guys with mob-boss style speaking.

    Oh, I dare say he’s been demented for quite some time now. It all started when he was regrettably born, and then it went downhill from there.
