Is Trump confused?

It’s more than likely that Trump doesn’t know what “late, great” means. He probably thinks it’s a synonym for “famous”.

Well, see-Hannibal Lecter likes to eat brains and trump figures he is safe. :crazy_face:

As I predicted, Trump has already declared himself the leading Republican candidate for 2028.

Who knows, he might even be out of jail by then.

Edit: quote box is being a shit, I just meant to quote the one line about taking the White House back from Kamala Harris but I’m not going to try to edit it because of the board rules.

I think that when turnp talks about lecter he is basically speaking to a crowd who are there at every rally and he is speaking informally in a “party” style of banter to them, which any one of us is capable of in our own locutions. But the press is just clueless about it as are the posts here.

Well, then maybe you could explain what he is trying to say…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - a Trump rally is just the world’s lamest Grateful Dead concert.

The Grateful Dead made sense.

Hey, if you understood what the hell Uncle John’s Band is supposed to mean, you’re either a smarter man than I or you had far more interesting chemicals in your system than I did.

Aronson is the author of Elderhood. The article discusses Trump as well, limited giftlink.

Oh no. I worked on as Security and was a guest at one. True, they are both very loud, but other than that there is no similarities.

Moderating:

Nothing in the limited gift link discusses Trump at all. This is in the wrong thread. Please make sure you’re posting to a thread that relates to your link.

This was an interesting one. Like he seemed to realize he was short-circuiting and roll it back. Like " a total radical on a word called imbol glitch"… Very slight pause… “you know this, right? A word called, what? Abortion.”.

Is that actually symptomatic of certain neurological conditions?

Right. Every now and then, some TV news reporter will interview a few Trump rally attendees. All will say that they’ve been to many Trump rallies. The number varies from person to person, but it’s always more than one. I don’t think I’ve heard anybody saying that this is their first Trump rally; though in fairness, that could be due to selective editing.

So if the Grateful Dead has Deadheads, does Donald Trump have Trump-rumps?

I have heard Dr. John Gartner (psychologist famous for being willing to risk his professional career talking shit about Trump) say several times that Trump’s inability to actually spit certain words out is a sure sign of dementia. Youtube examples abound, this one should be cued up to where he talks about the specifics:

In addition to whatever’s wrong with his brain, I think there are two other factors at play;

  1. He doesn’t write his own speeches and never rehearses or reads them beforehand, so he’s learning the speech in real time as it scrolls on the prompter
  2. He needs reading glasses but refuses to wear them because they offend his vanity, so he can barely even make out the words on the prompter anyway

Yes; Donald Trump suffers from an advanced case of Being Donald Trump Syndrome.

There is no known cure.

As discussed numerous times up thread that’s not the case. He’s always been a hateful narcissist who spouts incoherent hateful bullshit. But he’s clearly undergoing a cognitive decline on top of that. This kind of thing (like momentarily losing the ability to say the word “abortion”) did not happen in 2020

I think I agree, but I am leery of making diagnosis without an actual examination.

However there is this-

The assassination attempt of Donald Trumpbrought his former physician Ronny Jackson rushing to his side to render aid … but, it appears Jackson’s medical licenses are expired.

TMZ has checked, and it turns out Jackson’s Virginia medical license expired back in 2020 … so, technically it seems he’s not allowed to treat patients.

The Dallas Morning News reports he’s still American Board of Emergency Medicine certified to provide emergency medical services … a certification that lasts until 2025.

According to public records, Jackson’s Florida license is listed as Military Active … basically meaning he can provide medical treatment but only in military facilities.

Very good!
