The president is confused, slurring, repeating himself, fixated on Obama, and openly unsure if he’s bound by the Constitution.
The diagnosis is on display.
The crisis is cognitive.
And nobody around him dares to say it out loud.
Perhaps a reflection on the nation that decided he should be their leader?
Someone in my family had Alzheimer’s and so I saw what cognitive decline looks like over 10 years. It’s rough. But assuming that Trump will get the best medical care America can offer, it will be years of MAGA pretending he isn’t wearing no clothes, he always makes perfect sense.
Actually I’m a little relieved that Trump himself will not be forever dictator. If this keeps up, in 4 years time he will far too ineffectual to execute on a plan of any complexity himself. I do still worry about how his minions and puppeteers will act from the authoritarian path he has paved.
It’s never a reflection on the man
It’s a reflection on the nation and the people in government and the businesses and corporations and wealthy owners who all want him in power
It’s also troubling that schumer is allowed to be in congress at all with how much in decline he is in as well.

To be fair, Biden wasn’t in the best of health either. Having said that, why are walking fossils becoming heads of state? Younger men who can make their own decisions should be running instead of puppets.
Edit to ask why the downvotes? It’s not like I’m praising the cantaloupe, I wish Trump would have an aneurysm. I just wish that people who are a couple of decades younger would run for office.
Agreed, the US is a gerontocracy. The people in Congress are almost all past retirement age as well, and most of them aren’t making decisions that will make the future better because they won’t have to live with the consequences.
