[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is not dementia. It's meandering, but he brought it back to his pathetic analogy to the simplicity of his idea that people who buy cars fully made in America (which don't exist, BTW) should get a break on the interest they pay on their car loans.

His ideas are all corrupt and stupid, but he's able to stay on point despite his meanderings.

I think his physical health is much worse than his mental acuity. He's a genius at sales, and an incompetent moron at everything else. Trump has slowed down mentally, and he has the impulse control of a three-year-old, but he's not demented. [/quote]

Below are some of his speech patterns and communication behaviors that may be linked to dementia. The text is from a statement from a group of mental health professionals. There are other groups of mental health professionals that have signed on to public statements of this kind starting in his first term. HE IS NOT NORMAL.

"While we cannot make a formal diagnosis without direct examination, his repeated public behaviors and speeches demonstrate strong evidence of significant cognitive decline, aligned with common signs of an early dementia, and include:

o Deterioration in language skills, such as simpler vocabulary, incomplete and incoherent sentences, grammatical errors, and paraphasias (substituting words)

o Impaired memory/recall, such as confabulation, where memory gaps are filled with false or fabricated details

o Tangential thinking, where speech often drifts to unrelated topics in an erratic manner

o Inappropriate or vague statements that lack connection to reality

o Perseveration, where thoughts or ideas are repeated without a relevant trigger

o Rigidity in thinking, evidenced by an inability to adapt or revise opinions, often manifesting as “doubling down”

o Amplification of maladaptive personality traits, such as paranoid (invented threats), narcissistic (excessive focus on self), or antisocial (criminal and dangerous) personality traits

o Disinhibition in speech, such as the frequent use of vulgar, profane language or hate speech

o Disinhibition in behavior, such as impulsive decision making or aggression and violence
