It sounds like Trump watches tv a lot, and that contributed to my dad’s decline. (Though my dad watched westerns and such, not Fox. 😉) Fox’s drilling down on the same thing over and over, is not expanding one’s mind.

My father reads voraciously, tries learning languages of countries before visiting them (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German), took classes well into his 80s and played tennis and walked every day well into his 80s. He is now in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, so I am. To sure about your thesis.

That said, Trump is definitely demented

DP. Despite your father's experience, multiple studies have shown that "individuals who were more cognitively and physically active were able to delay their clinical Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and cognitive decline." Not prevent necessarily, but delay.

Noticeable cognitive decline is inevitable for 99.9% of human beings by the age of 80 and for many, cognitive decline is apparent before the age of 80. This is why it is absolutely bat poop crazy for the most powerful country on the planet to have elected people as old as Trump and Biden to four year terms in consecutive elections. Americans should be ashamed of themselves.

I agree.

No I do t think he knows it’s fake. The video reminds me of trying to explain to my Grandmother that she hadn’t actually won a million dollars from Publisher’s Clearinghouse.

Who knows?

He's probably jealous of the crowds the pope gets. He would love to get those kinds of crowds. That's how he thinks.

He knows no one is coming to his funeral. Gives him the sads.

What did Harris do that alienated so many US voters?

The problem was that despite is having an economy that was the envy of the world, half of America watches trash fake news and they thought the economy was awful. This also convinced them that the 10 trans NCAA athletes were the biggest threat to their freedom. People are stupid. That’s the problem.

The economy "felt" bad because in some ways it is.

1. When people compare how far their hard work goes to the parents' generation.

2. When people compare their lives to influencers.

And people were too stupid and ignorant to understand that Biden didn’t do either of those things and Trump wasn’t going to fix them either. Trump voters just heard Fox repeat “the economy!!!!!! and fell hook, line, and sinker.

The media spent the entire campaign covering for him. They are still doing it. Look at this reporter. Instead of challenging trump on his obvious lie, he just keeps saying “ let’s move on.”

I agree that the reporter did a terrible job with this. His job is explain things to viewers. When Trump started charging, he should have put up a picture of the knuckles so everyone could see what was being discussed. He should have explained why he knew it was photoshopped, even if it embarrassed Trump. Even using the word "contested" at the end isn't crystal clear to the viewers.

Why didn't he do this? Because he's afraid of losing access to Trump, and having ABC lose access. SMH.

There’s a lot of risk factors, and you both may have been worse off without doing that. My dad died mid-70s. I wish you well. ((Hugs))

It’s not even “despite” perhaps PP’s father would be experiencing Alzheimer’s in his 70s if he hadn’t been so active physically and mentally. No one ever said you would remain in perfect mental condition until your dying day.
