calling him senile lets him off the hook. This is the President of the United States. If he cannot perform his duties competently, he needs to be removed from office.
Orange felon is retired. He is presiding over USA the same way he did his town hall: swaying to music, watching tv, looking at his phone, golfing, staying in his underwear until 1 pm.
Musk and Project 2025 run things with Mike Johnson and Chief Justice Roberts as their confederates.
He also repeated the same lie he told when doing a similar presser recently with President Macron: implying that European military aid to Ukraine consisted of loans which had to be paid back. And just like Macron, Starmer needed to interrupt and correct Trump's lies.
This is yet another narcissistic behavior. I've dealt with this one: When confronted with their own poor behavior, they'll snicker at their own shamelessness or even mock the person holding them accountable. It's all a game to keep the other person backfooted and themselves in a position of control.
Please do more research on and exposure of lying. Most of us have a hard time realizing that some people can look you straight in the eye and lie. Trump and Musk can and those under their influence learn how so they can escape punishment. The media must educate about lies.
Have you ever read Trump’s speeches? They are written at a grade three level, and apologies to the grade three year Olds. We're all losing the ability to communicate our disgust with the guy because he never ceases to go lower and more bizarre. What does this say about his supporters, his voters?
He's got no clue about anything. He's just signing what comes in front of him. He has no impetus to do anything in his job, since it was merely to avoid prison and let his billionaire buddies roam. They're bankrolling his existence, so who cares about the presidency? It's a disgrace.
He thinks he is going to extort the minerals may be part of it. I'm not convinced he remembers lies. He knows who he is trying to sell to in the moment, and may be reinventing the same lies until the situation changers. Of course even that ability seems to be failing...
He’s already in 25th Amendment territory. If Biden had done this, the media would be in full scale meltdown mode. The Dems have to start a steady drumbeat of ‘just asking questions’ about Trump’s age and mental fitness at every opportunity.
He’s destroying the trust in and reputation of the US, the world standing of the US and the US goldilocks economy. All in one month. Whether it is senility or lies—-probably both—he and his party are domestic terrorists waging war on the US on behalf of Russia and other autocracies.
Wait - this is literally the same conversation he just had with Macron? Usually Trump repeats what the last person he spoke to said. Now he can't even do that!
I don't think it's dementia. He's just a liar. He's not even a convincing liar. He even cracked just the tiniest bit of a smile at his own lie likely because he's so certain that the Kool-aide drinkers will lap it up as they always do.
Senile. Maybe. This an example of senility? Nope. He's just fucking with us. The more he de-truths everything, the more exhausted and dispirited we become.
To anyone who wants to watch the clip, the actual quote is from the last five seconds or so. The video seems set-up to trick you into hanging around on the Mediaite page for its ads, and the clip stops RIGHT THEN after it's been spoken.
It's aggravating if you're interested in the actual exchange.
Pls read “Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes,” by Andrew Lobaczewski of Poland=fought against Nazis&Stalin’s communist regime;eventually had to write from memory what he&fellow Polish psychologists wrote re understanding/combatting totalitarianism.
This man is old, he is under extreme pressure (though it appears that he's not) he lacks the ability to make decisions on his own.
Don't misunderstand me, I am not making excuses for him. I despise him as much as you do.
But seeing this from a home healthcare worker viewpoint,
HE HAS DEMENTIA!!
As long as they can prop him up and scribble his name on executive orders they'll keep him around. They might have to start hiding from public events eventually though.
I think we will see less and less of him over time. The terrifying part is that who ever gains control of the presidency will have him sign whatever they want, he has no idea what he’s signing.
Flattery - and using the kind of hyperbole that Trump uses e.g. ‘the greatest alliance of all time’ (or whatever it was). It looks like the King even made his signature look like Trump’s.
I’m disgusted by how the MSM pushed the “Biden is senile” thing, but much as I despise Trump he’s not senile. He knows what he said about Zelenskyy; he’s just lying. Very consciously. Which may be worse than being senile.
A creature completely governed by his amygdala. Whatever brings him the most pleasure and least pain in the moment is all that matters. No strategy, no long-term thinking, just immediate gratification and self-preservation.
It extends to his beliefs too! He's convinced that the Access Hollywood tape is a forgery because knowing it's real would require him to think bad things about himself.
He called Zelensky a dictator in the moment because it felt good to say it. Now that there's even the slightest pushback from a person who is physically present with him, and suddenly he's earnestly convinced he's never said it.
While I do think his cognition is declining rapidly, this particular thought pattern of his has been pervasive for decades. He's just a man pathologically incapable of any self reflection, self critique, or accountability.
He’s cooked.
His brain is a twisted pool noodle.
Still, he’s a dangerous mob boss leading a criminal syndicate called the Trump Administration. Just look at his cabinet—the League of Extraordinary Douche Bags.
Donald Trump and his whole administration is totally incompetent, disgraceful and detestable! Our country has become an embarrassment. Further, every single Republican in Congress is an utter coward and political hack! They are spineless minions and should go straight to hell! Sickening...🤮
It’s beyond difficult listening to Trump during news conferences. His moronic-mouthed ignorance & lies plus asinine accusations attacking Pres Biden & trustworthy allies are repugnant. Every credible journalist/newscaster should report it’s Donald Trump who’s the “laughing stock” of the world.
If this were Biden the whole Republican Party would have been calling for the 25th Amendment. Since it is Trump, everyone says "Oh, he is lying again, that's normal."
"Potatoe." - Disqualified.
"YEEAAHH!!" - Disqualified.
"What is 'Aleppo?'" - Disqualified.
"I don't know, I don't recall, I've heard both, where am I? Am I in an airport? Is this the revolutionary war?" - Tells it like it is.

Bwahahaha!!!
When he speaks he lies.
This has been the goal of the rightwing conservatives for a very long time.

Trump: "I never called Zelenskyy a dictator."
Dump tRump ...

HE HAS DEMENTIA!!
No one is demanding tests, not a single member of the cabinet is being asked about this.
And this has been apparent for years now.
But yes, there aren't even any lights on in there. He is totally gone in the head.
He's LYING!
His brain is a twisted pool noodle.
Still, he’s a dangerous mob boss leading a criminal syndicate called the Trump Administration. Just look at his cabinet—the League of Extraordinary Douche Bags.
Donald J. Trump, Commander-in-Chief, SSDD
