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.

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.
