"everything the President of the US is now saying publicly is an utter and frighteningly dementia-fueled hallucination"

[riversedge]

I think Trump is just a freaking a**hole!!


It's very sad to watch a subpar mind further disintegrate in real time, but it is also essential for American journalists to make clear to readers that everything the President of the United States is now saying publicly is an utter and frighteningly dementia-fueled hallucination

This is trump 101, 201, 301, 401, 501, ALWAYS a con; always said what he wants people to believe.
He’s the effing branding master; effing art of the deal. Don’t diminish his diabolical, depraved,
psychotic nature by attributing this to dementia. TRUMP HAS ALWAYS BEEN SELF SERVING

1. I wish the media would call him what he really is....a liar. The leader of the US is a liar.

[Lonestarblue]

35. The media treats him as a normal president who just says what's on his mind.

He is an ignorant and delusional psychopath whose words are not reported because they should scare the hell out of anyone with half a brain. Only social media seems to report his delusions.

[maxsolomon]

45. Which media treat him that way?

RW Media, of course, but not MSNOW. I don't watch CNN but I suspect that's who you mean.

NYT draws attention to his deviance (i.e. "unprecedented&quot , but it's not as editorial as DU would like it.

[Blues Heron]

2. The water on trumps brain has a mirror-like finish too! What a coincidence!

[Emile]

3. Did they arrest Mitch McConnell, the getaway driver?

[riversedge]

4. ??? I take it that is some kind of joke --but I missed it.

[niyad]

5. "NOW SAYING"??? Every word out of his mouth or fingers has been

LIE since he promoted the insane birtherism claims against President Obama, and most certainly since June 2015. EVERY SINGLE WORD.

[ananda]

10. Beat me to it. I was going to say he's been lying...

since Obama's birth certificate nonsense.

[calimary]

20. I'd go back farther than that.

[MLWR]

14. It goes all the way back to his irrational tirade against the "Central Park Five."

[niyad]

29. Yes!!!

[GiqueCee]

38. Even though...

... those men were totally exonerated by irrefutable DNA evidence, Anus Mouth would not let it go. He simply will NOT admit he was wrong. Ever. And he knows there are plenty of people out there who will swear up and down that the Moon is made of green cheese, if Dear Leader tells them to say so.

[calimary]

22. Oh, before that. I'd say WAAAAY before that.

He’s VERY well-practiced.

[dave99]

34. telling black families there were no apartments in a Fred Trump's complex

[GiqueCee]

39. Well...

... "and" & "the" might be forgiven, but everything else? I'm with you.

[underpants]

6. He's following the influencers or they are field prep.

I don’t get the Loomers etc on Twitter and I’m certainly not following.

His posts are and The White House are usually 4-8 hours after I first see some iteration of it.
The direct threat at Iran today was obviously different.

[surfered]

7. He's as honest as a timeshare salesman

[Botany]

8. Does Trump know that Washington and Lincoln are dead? So how can they be offended?

What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln.

What a buffoon. Btw the Reflecting pool was designed to let some water leak out of and into
the water table?

BTW 2.0 So they are going to drain the pool, get rid of that paint, and open up the drainage that
was part of the original design? Now who is gonna pay for all of that? Doesn’t the pool company
that Trump hired have a bond?

[pwb]

9. When he speaks he is

speaking to himself. Like a child left alone.

[thesquanderer]

11. It doesn't sound like dementia, it sounds like the same lying and gaslighting he's always done. (n/t)

[randr]

41. If you have ever lived with anyone with dementia

you would know what is happening. He has dementia and we are all in denial.

[thesquanderer]

42. He may have dementia, but I disagree that that post of his in the OP is evidence.

That post sounds like the exact same Donald Trump who insisted his Jan 2017 inauguration crowd was the biggest, who refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, etc. etc. Lies and gaslighting has long been his M.O.... possibly his whole life. So I don't see that post as indicative of dementia. Which isn't to say that there may not be other signs of diminishing mental capacity. My point was just that I don't agree with Seth Abramson's take on that post.

[LisaL]

12. I don't think his claims have anything to do with dementia.

He spend many millions on this pool, and what does he have to show for it?
Peeling paint and green algae? So he claims that vandals caused it. This isn't proof of dementia.

[lonely bird]

13. OK

A possible response by any reporter:

You say that this was done by vandals and that many additional people have been arrested having to do with the vandalism.

Produce them and show what they did and how they did it

Or

SHUT YOUR GODDAMN MOUTH.

[electric_blue68]

15. (with a knife, or ___) "a 250 foot long gash.. " OH just STFU, liar!

[FakeNoose]

16. Seth Abramson is implying that Chump actually WROTE this post

He didn't and he almost never writes anything. Other people on his staff are writing these things.
I'm not even sure if Chump reads them, but he sure as hell doesn't write them.

[sop]

25. Trump ordered his post-writer(s) to concoct some bullshit fantasy so he could lay the blame for his failure on others.

His obedient post-writer came up with a new version of Trump's favorite scapegoat, radical leftwing vandals.

[Seinan Sensei]

33. Reflecting Pool, MMA Octagon, Kennedy Center, Iran War, "Look, a shiny object," "Hey, a squirrel on the sidewalk "

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

[radical noodle]

17. Rita is right

Not dementia, but just what he's always been.

[electric_blue68]

18. Credit where due. WNYC's Public Radio Morning host Brian Lerher has been calling Trump a Liar slnce about 8 month...

into his first year in office. WNYC is public radio's flagship station.

Took him a bit; at.first using like "provaracating" and other synonyms.

Finally one day he straight out said "liar". I was like Yes! that's how you do it.
He's continued doing that.

Obviously a much smaller audience tham MSM, but someone on radio (besides Pacifica) is doing it.

Any other PR listeners in other cities: Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco etc any host there straight out calls drumphf a liar?

[vanlassie]

19. So has Lawrence.

[electric_blue68]

21. Oh, absolutely. i hear Lawrence all the time 👍.

And the rest of the MSNOW night hosts

[senseandsensibility]

23. His point about the media is well taken

Chances that they'll actually do as he suggests? Just about zero.

[Callie1979]

24. I keep hearing this "dementia" talk. To me; hes exactly yhte same as '16

There's never been a level he wouldnt stoop to. Never been an insult he wouldnt hurl.
I just dont see a difference.
But I really hope that 80 hits hard.
And I hate HE has made me that way

[relogic]

26. The bigger lie

than trump himself is every soulless sycophant from every institution and unabashed ignorant village-the bastion of success is to lie as well or better to serve the salesman they worship.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. The short fact of the matter of the reflecting pool is that tRUMP started all of it to begin w/, and probably didn't

properly prepare / vet the entire process, so in short, the blame is to be laid at his fat feet, and no one else. If anyone believes that that bike rider originally picked up but then released quickly could by himself damage the whole damn reflecting pool, I got a bridge in NYC to sell them...

[debsy]

28. Thank you, Rita Burke! You are exactly correct!

This is who Donald Trump is and always has been. People need to stop excusing the criminal and someone needs to hold him accountable! Donald Trump exemplifies 80 years of no consequences for horrendous behavior.

[calimary]

30. THIS!

You nailed it, debsy:

“Donald Trump exemplifies 80 years of no consequences for horrendous behavior.”

This! THIS, DAMMIT!!!

[MerryBlooms]

31. trump's handlers are writing this bs

And posting
I'm not even sure if the weird AI stuff is trump or handlers
trump can't get himself out a wet diaper these days on his own...

[Hieronymus Phact]

32. When will people wise up

He's not talking to you, he's talking to his credulous base who doesn't get any real news so they believe this.

[HeartsCanHope]

36. These unhinged tweets sound so much like my grandmother's wild phone calls after she developed Alzheimer's!

She called family members to complain about my deceased grandfather. She insisted that he was out fooling

around with his girlfriends and that we should go get him. She'd also call the sheriff's office and tell them

to find her husband. She lived in a very small town and the sheriff's office was good about it.

They'd call one of grandmother's daughters and tell them what grandmother was saying. One of the

daughters would go and calm her down. They eventually had to hire someone to stay with her 24/7 so the phone

calls to the sheriff stopped. Eventually she had to be moved to a nursing home.

We must hold Republicons and Trump accountable. Grandpa needs the phone taken away, and he needs to be sent

to a memory unit ASAP! Too many people have been hurt and killed. November can't come fast enough!

[LudwigPastorius]

37. Trump will use geometric logic to find the vandals.

[popsdenver]

40. In my corporate past

I had a CEO boss who would constantly do this exact thing with coins, rather than steel balls........

He too, was a true narcissistic psychopath, which I would think many CEO's of Major corporations are............

In all reality, I truly believe that they should re-name the USA to....... THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA......essentially being run by the oligarchs in America...........All playing the same game.......... "what if there were no regulations that curbed or controlled our run away greed".....

[Moostache]

44. Don't do 'strawberries' that way!!!

They are delicious fruit and undeserving of Trump taint...

[Moostache]

43. Look no further than "They're eating the dogs...they're eating the cats..."

He said that.
On camera.
In a presidential debate.
And he STILL "won"?

The racism and misogyny of this country is unreal, but the abdication of the press from their role to neutered cheerleaders and trained seals is disturbing.,

[czarjak]

46. His Base is base!

It’s not rocket science?
