He’s stimming because he’s autistic.
|
No. Just stop. And stop disrespecting autistic persons. |
| He really does seem to have a childlike lack of self-awareness/self-consciousness. He is completely unaware of how embarrassing his behavior is. His son, an actual child, understood how to behave in that moment. |
I'm not disrespecting autistic persons. There are tons of episodes of Trump doing stuff like this. He's clearly stimming. He's also never released a medical report, so god knows what he is actually struggling with. We wouldn't even need to have this discussion if he wasn't constantly lying and obfuscating his health. |
New Rule: any comparison to Trump is an insult, and disrespectful, for a number of reasons. I fully support this ruling. However, this isn’t autism. Trump has social awareness, he just doesn’t give a damn. His history never demonstrated these behavioral “tics”; they’ve surfaced over time. His medical records would show falsified docs to avoid deployment, psychiatric evaluations, and on-set dementia. Maybe positive drug tests. His tax returns will show heavy foreign bribery, money laundering through rea estate and other ventures, a lack of profit in most of his business dealings, and would make him a high risk security threat. |
| So I've been ignoring this thread but that video of Trump during the National Anthem is crazy. I've thought he's in the early stages of dementia for a while, but his illness appears to be progressing. I remember taking my mom to a baseball game when she was early in her Alzheimer's diagnosis and she was the same way during the National Anthem - fidgeting, talking, not at all in the moment. Wow, this is scary. |

And does he sit before the song is over?! He adjusts his chair!
|
Yes. He sits down before it’s over after no one pays attention to his erratic behavior. |
Don’t worry. There’s precedent: the GOP propped up Jelly Bean Alzheimer’s in the 80s and were never held to account for that. |
| Has there ever been a president unfit for office that had been removed for a medical condition? |
And it looks nothing like stimming. |
Yup. He sat down half way through the song. |
