My experience of my mother's dementia was that it worked like a kind of severe attention deficit. She could hold in her head the things she really cared about, but other things, and most details, would slip away from her.
There was a notable example when one of her cousins died. My sister told her about it, and when the funeral would be (a week later), and the plan for them to drive together to Oxford to attend.
My mother called my sister up each day for the next several days, worrying about how she would get to the funeral. This meant that she kept the fact of cousin Jean's death firmly in her head for several days, which was quite rare for any fact by that time.
She clearly also recalled at least roughly when the funeral was. But the plan for Manette to drive her here for it wouldn't stick in her memory, so she had to keep asking about it.
My grandmother was that way. If she did someone for someone and it was returned, or not enough gratitude was shown, they went to the list and we'd hear about it forever and a day. She never did threaten social security or try to colapse an economy or a republic.
His first impeachment was for abuse of power that happened behind closed doors. All of these other acts of extortion are just announced directly to the cameras on a daily basis. I know it's a stupid question, but where's the f'ing congress to stop the criming?
Makes me think trump saying Canada should be the 51st state is that maybe he once said Canada was a state (perhaps decades ago, as a child even!) got roundly mocked for being so dumb, and is still angry about it (and still thinks he was and is right).
A small petty racist man with multiple bankruptcies, divorces, impeachments, and felonies being small and petty and racist while demonstrating his tiny hands.
This should be the Red Flag of hate Trump lives by. This man is an insane psychopath. A banner needs to be carried during demonstrations about the 400 million connection to Columbia and Trump's inability to accept defeat. He is a mental case.

Everything is about score-settling for him.

But I would love to see the look on his face when he is surrounded by what he would consider dei hires
But here it is, for that article, for now: https://archive.is/gTlg4
The world is his sandbox and he is the King of his world.
Who writes that about themselves??!!
Also (of course) he sued and ... the case was dismissed. Classic Donald.
(pun intended)
State sponsored retribution. He promised to do it.
Trump appears to be shrinking into a ball of pure grievance and retribution. That's what's most important to him.
Thank you for the post, Michele.
Look at Cuba.
Same as it ever was.
