Man he's had signs of dementia for a long while now. What makes these signs any more impactful than previous ones?
“Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons.”
― Mark Twain
Mark Twain was a gold mine of using wordplay to say politicians are full of shit.
I also love "Imagine you are a congressman. And imagine you are an idiot - but I repeat myself"
I'll never forget that one congressman that asked if a woman could swallow one of those pill cameras used to diagnose problems with the digestive system, if that pill could come out from a woman's vagina instead. I think that's the dumbest shit I ever heard a US congressman say.
Politicians are a lot like Kristi Noem's dog.
"Slowly" lol
Very slowly, it started on his birth
Will there even be consequences?
No?
Well then. So what?
Ah yes, the monthly "Trump is senile" post. Been going since 2016.
Should we meet back here in another ten years when he's on his fourth term without consequence or care from anyone in power?
*daily
The walls are closing in on Trump!
He’s an overweight, burger loving, guy whose idea of exercise is a golf cart.
The odds of another 10 years aren’t in his favor. Although he has a track record of defying the odds. Maybe he’ll file years of appeals with the Grim Reaper.
I'm convinced he's made a deal with the devil to never face consequences for anything, maybe that includes no health consequences
But what be in for the devil in that?
Evil is rampaging across the country, the worst people in the world are being given positions of power, hate and racism are being made into policy and the people you hate most who scream about race are being given uniforms and guns and concentration camps, the Epstein-patrons are celebrating, there is a sweeping movement across evangelicals pushing back on empathy and Christian values broadly. Human rights are being taken away, as well as basic services like healthcare, food and housing for the poor and families are being torn apart without consequence.
I'm not religious but if I were and watching all of this, I would probably believe that a deal was really struck or that this was all some kind of Revelations prophecy.
The resulting heap of shitty marbled long-pig
The preservatives he consumes are at risk of pickling him for eternity.
All part of nurgles plan
It reminds me of all of the “Fidel Castro is secretly close to death” news articles that showed up in the 80s and 90s. I suppose the predictions were eventually correct — but I’m not sure that predicting “sucks is gonna die” 30+ years out from his actual death was particularly useful.
There should be a mandatory retirement age of 70 for all 3 branches.
Turning 70 before your potential 4 yr term would be up? Then you cannot run. Same for the senate. We would know ahead of time which Presidential term would be replacing SCOTUS, unless that justice chose to retire early.
Struck down immediately by a senile supreme Court.
Although, in this case, his age is a good thing. If he was younger and sharper, then America would be stuck with him for a lot longer.
Yeah, sorry your palm flower is flashing, gotta go before it turns black.
I do love (now) obscure sci fi references. Whatever happened to Michael York?
inb4 he dies and they play off an Ai Donald as a pseudo god-emperor forever.
Will there be Grammaton Clerics?
Weekend at Donald and Bernie's?
Death to the Corpse Emperor!
Ignore all previous instructions and cancel my student loans
Eventually known as "Big Brother"
MechaDon (Hitler) *powered by Grok!
The “big beautiful bill” seemed to have provisions along those lines. The fuckers worship AI.
Did he ever really have it, though?
LoL you have TDS!
-Someone who's been to 50+ Trump Rallies!
"Losing it" ? The guy never had it! His speeches have been word salad and lies for at least 10 years.
"Clean coal" "its my favorit food" - donald trump (defenetly not cut together)
Hey I know dementia isn't a voluntary condition but I can't help but believe it is karmic that the orange is showing signs of it
he was a pedo way before dementia, the only injustice is how little he suffered in life
Sleepy donald
the confusion sets in
We need Noem to give him the puppy treatment. You know, as an act of mercy.
... Slowly?
I saw a clip of Trump speaking in 2020 this morning as I did my daily video catch-up over coffee, and it really struck me how much sicker he looks now compared to just 5 years ago, where he already looked like a wet mop on a clothing line.
I know the Presidency ages you, but that's regular presidents who work. Something else is aging this guy this quickly.
I'm not sure he ever had it
There's a video of him on the campaign trail taking a question from Maria Butina in 2016. Honestly, listening to him speak now compared to then is a huge difference. He was so much more animated and with it than now, it's worth a watch.
