Trump's Cognitive Decline and Health

Great stuff

He seems oriented to place and time.  He understands the basics of sharks needing water and batteries being capable of discharging.  The hat may be a bit tight and constricting blood flow to the cotton candy comb over, but I see no cognitive decline.  Of course I thought he was an idiot 20 and 40 years ago so no decline is needed to get silly statements from Mr. Sentence Fragment man.

Hear that black people?  Poor people?  No one treated worse than the people who tried to steal the election for Trump.

How do people listen to him talk and then think to themselves, "This guy is great!  I want him to be President.  I'm going to vote for him."

Holy hell. I want to see Trump's devotees defend that one.

This was also the speech where he ranted against the teleprompters not working properly: "

“Tell them to make the microphone louder!” Trump screamed. “It’s terrible! … Are the teleprompters not working? Not even a little bit. Great job!

Trump then threatened not to pay the crew over the technical issues.

“And then I don’t pay the company that does it, right?” Trump said. “And then I end up with a story, ‘Trump doesn’t pay.’ I don’t pay contractors that do a shitty job. And that’s a shitty job! That’s a shitty job! You can’t read a word. But you know what? It usually ends up that the speech is better, it’s crazy. Then they’ll say, ‘Oh, isn’t it terrible? Trump takes advantage of his [contractors].’ No. I take great — when I have a good contractor, a subcontractor, nobody gets paid faster. But when I have contractors that do this kind of work? You can have them.”

The real secret between Trump and Biden is they are both of diminishing mental capacities...just in different ways. Hard to believe the two candidates for the biggest position of power in the free world are going to be a combined 159 years old when we hit the election.

In his interview with Hannity, Trump also told people how to stop addictions:

 

HANNITY: There are other legal — there are real legal issues.

TRUMP: Excuse me.

The really big stuff and their trial — look, I feel very badly for them in terms of the addiction part of what they have right now.

Quote

 

HANNITY: Right.

TRUMP: Because I understand the addiction world. And I have also — not only a brother. I have lost a lot of friends to addiction, drugs, alcohol. And there are other addictions also, frankly. It would be nice if people would do certain things and live certain ways.

But you’re not able to — they’re just not able to break it. I have had — I have had friends that are so strong. My brother was a strong person. I have had friends that were so strong, so powerful, they couldn’t stay away from a glass of alcohol. They couldn’t stay away from a drug. They had to have a drug.

But you know the way that you solve the problem? Don’t have them. If you don’t have a taste for alcohol — I remember, when I was going to school, college, I had a friend, he hated the taste of Scotch, hated it. It was like…

HANNITY: Yes.

TRUMP: But he wanted to develop it because, socially, he thought it was a good thing. He would sit down with the bankers and all the — at the Wharton School of Finance, they want to have dinners with bankers, right? That’s a big thing.

And they want to — he developed the taste for Scotch. And by the time he finished, he ended up being a very bad alcoholic.

HANNITY: Yes.

TRUMP: He’s — I mean, 20, 25 years later, he ended up being an alcoholic. And he couldn’t stay away.

I say the way you stay away, just don’t drink. Just don’t have it. If you don’t have drugs, if you don’t experience early on, you’re not going to have a need for it. You’re not going to have an addiction. If you don’t drink alcohol, you’re not going to have an addiction. You’re not going to have this insatiable urge to have a drink.

And I say that to people with your children. They ask me, what do you think and, children, what do you tell them? I say, no drugs, no alcohol. I also say, no cigarettes. Don’t have the cigarettes. Don’t have cigarettes. Don’t have them. I have friends that can’t stop smoking. If they never had a cigarette before, they’d have no problem.

When I look at a friend that can’t stop smoking, I don’t understand why it’s hard to stop. There’s smoke all over the place. The fact is, if you never had a cigarette — I never had a cigarette. I have no urge to smoke. But if you are, you get addicted. It has something, and you just can’t stop.

The two party partisan system has taken us down a dead end road where we now have the two major parties presenting us with a choice between  a plagarist of sub average inteligence in the throes of early dementia and a narcisist who speaks in sentence fragments, mentally bounces from subject to subject, who exhibits paranoia and is in the throes of early dementia.  I remember when Reagan's age was an issue when he was 68, now we have two sh!t house rat crazy octagenarians running.  A pox on both their parties.

 

The ship of state is burning, its hull is full of holes, the steering is out, we are in shark infested waters and heading directly into rocks that will rip us apart and you fools are arguing over which senile captain should be at the helm.  The answer is neither.

I have to disagree with you here with regard to Trump: while Biden may have been a product of our two party system, Trump isn’t. He is outside the system, an anomaly, the product of populism. The GOP would have preferred an establishment type candidate like Rubio in 2016 or Haley in 2024. But the base chose Trump.

I'd like to know who told him that the shark wasn't angry but just didn't understand what the young lady was.

I do have to agree with him on one point, given the choice of electrocution or eaten by a shark, i'll take electrocution, ignoring the fact that a battery in the ocean poses almost zero electrocution risk.

If anomalies were produced on a regular basis they wouldn’t be anomalies. The fact is that the the two party system has served us well for most of American history. I think it will again but we have to get past this current dreadful populist stage.

When anomalies first appear they are anomalies.  They can become the norm if they keep appearing.  I would argue that neither candidate was truely produced by their regualr party mechanisms but by the expedience of seeking victory in the moment.

This is the first I'm reading it.  Mostly I've been drafting golfers and talking about tax cuts on the bored today.

So, Trump was riffing some stuff because the teleprompters weren't working.  What was the context?  Seems like that clip caught him in the middle of answering.

Also I'd love to see Biden if the teleprompters went out.

There was no context, there were no questions, it wasn't an answer, it was an unhinged rant by a dementia patient.

Sure there was.  In the beginning he says he's talking to someone from MIT, then says "so what would happen if the boat sank..."  so he was talking to someone about a boat.  Maybe battery powered?  An EV boat?  And they were discussing risks of an EV boat?

He was ranting about how terrible the country is and then he sprung into a rant about electric boats.  It's all here if you want to watch it.  I clipped it at the start of the boat rant.

He wasn't talking to anyone from MIT, he was allegedly talking to a guy who sells boats.  He mentioned MIT because his uncle was a professor there, and he thinks that makes him smart.

Thanks.  So yeah, like I predicted, the context of the culled X video was him discussing EV boats.  Do we doubt he had that conversation with the boat maker in SC?  If not, then he was relaying a discussion he had about why it's bad to mandate electric vehicles when they aren't appropriate for the situation.

The shark thing is apparently in the news (I learned from Bunny's thread) so in typical Trump fashion, that came to his mind during his discussion with the boat guy.

Then after the boats he talked about the downside of EV long haul trucks.  So a consistent theme.

The MIT thing, yeah, his narcissism has always led him to a false association there.  And parts of the shark bit are clearly rambling.  But in general, nowhere near Biden pooping his pants, staring into space, then mumbling "anyway..."

I maintain that they’re in different types of mental decline. Biden seems like a once sharp scummy career politician in the grips of dementia. Trump seems like a guy who was always a barking loon getting even loonier in his golden years.

I agree with this.  Where I disagree is when it turns into a false equivalence of "both guys are losing it."  Well yeah, but in much different degrees.

Seriously, imagine Biden at a speech where his teleprompter glitches.  Anyway...

Yeah that's a sharp prediction, given that he was talking about EV boats. Only a genius can predict he's talking about EV boats.

Anyway, I think he made the whole conversation up.

1) there is no EV mandate so it's dumb to talk about

2) I don't know sh1t about EV boats but I quick Google proves that they don't sink.  There is no chance a successful boat salesman tells him this.

3) No way the boat guy told him that's a good question because it's a really really dumb question.

Forget the shark crap, it's an insane ramble.

Regarding Biden, he didn't sh1t his pants.  The fact that you repeat this shows how dumb you are.
