Starts off with a bit of Dem bashing, but then:

We have a serious situation on our hands, and we must take some practical steps to address it. Vibes and grandstanding are a luxury we can no longer afford.

President Trump appears to be deteriorating by the day. He is confabulating. He is demonstrating poor judgment. Even before he began threatening to commit genocide against Iran and posted a picture of himself as Jesus, he had been exhibiting poor impulse control.

He has also begun speaking like a six-year-old. He talks about “nuclear dust” and says things like, “They’ve dropped a couple of water mines. … We’ve defeated all of their water boats, too.”

It’s tempting to laugh at this behavior. But even though it is bizarre, none of it is funny. Trump will be 80 years old in June, and he is showing all the signs of dementia. That’s a tragedy that I would not wish on anyone, regardless of what I think of their politics.

Now let me stop you right there. Indeed, you cannot properly diagnose a medical condition without a proper medical diagnosis. But it is up to us lay people to recognize the warning signs of dementia in everyday life and take appropriate steps to get a proper medical diagnosis. If you had a grandparent behaving like Trump does, you would insist on immediate medical intervention and a comprehensive mental and physical evaluation. On a practical level, you would be very concerned about trusting him with a car, much less the Fifth Fleet.
