Trump's health.

I bet he has general paresis.

I posted before about Trump and Biden's loss of physical and mental acuity. Dementias, plural, have specific timelines of progression, which is why I cannot make any diagnosis of any specific dementia. There are visible symptoms... but neither President has made the rapid progression that is expected when a specific dementia diagnosis is made. So I can only conclude that there is age-related memory loss, cognitive and physical reduction in functionality. That's all. It's evident, and I don't think a sane, rational person could deny it.

The truth is, voters should not need a specific diagnosis in order not to elect someone. It's mind-boggling to me that these two elderly men would ever have been Presidential candidates in the first place.

I don't see someone with dementia, to be honest. I see someone who is getting old, yes, and less sharp (never the sharpest knife to begin with), but mostly bored and indifferent. He doesn't care enough to be regularly briefed or to be precise. He's a narcissist who wanted to stay out of jail and exact revenge.

I am curious how many people you’ve encountered with dementia. Both my grandparents and father were coherent and even articulate when they had late stage dementia (much more so than Trump). But they were unable to process, organize or retain new information for long periods of time. With Trump, you are seeing someone who already lacks intelligence and is also failed to retain or organize new information.

DP. I agree with your last sentence, this isn't on the voters, it's on the parties' decision to stop doing their job of acting as a gatekeeper and vetting candidates before putting them forward to voters. Maybe at some point, the parties will take up their job again.

Not only is he failing to retain new information, he is also showing symptoms such as "decrease in verbal fluency, diminished vocabulary, overuse of superlatives and filler words" and so on.

In just the past few days, Trump has claimed not to know about important matters of state (US soldiers being killed overseas), signing an EO, or the meaning of TPS (Temporary Protective Status, which he confused with GPS).

Furthermore, his vocabulary is shrinking rapidly with age. It was obvious in his first term but even more so now. In this clip, he epeatedly refers to fertility treatments for women as "fertilization" (he couldn't think of the right term and used "fertilization" as a shorthand).

In this clip, he's using the word "groceries" over and over in place of larger terms like "cost of living."

If you take away Trump's bronzer and hair dye, you have a very pale, white-haired, person that is very comparable to Biden. They both have a decrease in their walking abilities - I've seen them shuffle in the same way, which is typical of elderly people in decline.

Not only do both have a marked age-related physical decline, it is accompanied by certain cognitive symptoms, specifically a decrease in their previously richer vocabulary, a disinclination to be precise when they talk - which is a sign of memory loss.

Separately from this decline, I see that both continue to have the same character they always had, with some age-related loss of filter. Biden is a generally normal, decent human being. The everyman. Not spectacular in any way, but by dint of a lifetime of political effort, he knows the ins and outs of governance. There were plenty like him on either side of the aisle (now one party has thrown out all their normal people). Trump continues his progression as the caricature of a very punitive man who only gets up in the morning to exact retribution on perceived enemies. His thoughts and feelings are simplistic in the extreme, but they really always were (just behind a very thin veneer of sophistication in his NY realtor days). The reason he's successful is that he's always had enormous willpower and drive behind those simple feelings. Either he wins or he loses. Winning means striking down your enemies. Losing means letting them have normal lives. Zero-sum. Us vs Them. No sense of proportional response: enemies needs to be crushed to powder, and loyal subjects need constant testing.

Well put

Does everyone now understand why his college transcripts were never released?
This⬆️ and lawsuit threats to Fordham and Wharton via Michael Cohen.

Well he treats women like garbage and this word is pretty dehumanizing....so are we shocked or do we think this is lack of vocabulary? Who knows!

How can you tell the difference between "dementia Trump doesn't word good 90 IQ" and "Trump knows how to speak in a way that his IQ 90 target audience can understand, appreciate, and rally behind"?

No. That’s not what your link says.

Why are you so invested in this? Dementia is not curable. It’s a terrible disease. But unfortunately it affects millions of Americans and becomes more like after 80. Trump is clearly unwell. And psychiatrists attribute it to dementia.

The President is an executive of the laws of Congress. We don't want a "leader of the Democrats", we want a competition leader of the executive of the nation. There are many visible candidates who have wide support among Democrats (~30% of population), but to win and election requires winning over low-political-information "moderate" voters

Where's the "misbehavior"? The APA said they were conducting "armchair psychiatry" and invoked the "Goldwater Rule" but the authors feel that they have a professional responsibility to educate the public about the state of Trump's mental health. That's a difference in opinion, not misbehavior. Did you even read the document you cited?
