Where's Trump's Marbles?

Look, the dude has cracked. He has imploded. Even if you're a down-the-line MAGA, even you by now should realize that he's senile, demented, and arguably insane by now. I personally suspect that he has had strokes that he hasn't told us. The man visibly has gone to seed. You can see it in his face. You can hear in his words, in the slip in whatever focus and discipline he still had, all of it gone. His mind wanders. He trails off. He gets easily distracted. There is something obviously wrong with his brain. This is absolutely not someone who should be put back in as Commander-in-Chief. Period. End of story. The change isn't between two functional adults. It's between a functional adult who, whatever her flaws (and I am well aware of them, trust me), is still sane, versus a raving lunatic. That's your choice. Let's not pretend that the third party options are viable or practical at this time. Not right now. This is the choice before us. A deeply flawed, but still sane and lucid somewhat younger woman and a mentally cracked, senile, unfocused, demented, and deranged old man.

Odds are, if anything ultimately costs him the election, it will be because people got a closer look at this former President and realized that he has indeed, absolutely lost his mind. Presidential health matters, arguably especially mental health. If Biden had to step aside because of his cognitive decline, why should voters give a former President who has seen all of his flaws exacerbated and any redeeming virtues (if any) almost entirely vanished a chance to take the country down with him?
 
Trump is getting increasingly desperate, and has ratcheted up his campaign rhetoric accordingly.

I think the moment he "turned the corner" was when he flailed about in his debate with Kamala Harris to breathlessly exclaim "They're eating the PETS!".
He was riled up, out of his depth and under-prepared. It was all he could think of on the spot, he knew it was a busted non-story.

He also knew that his cult wouldn't care.

I remember Rightguide spent a feverish two solid days afterwards "proving" that Trump's comments were somehow "technically true".

I'd have been mortified if I posted a picture of a Haitian barbecuing a chicken and claimed it was "proof" of "roasting cats".
 

Trump’s Speeches, Increasingly Angry and Rambling, Reignite the Question of Age​

With the passage of time, the 78-year-old former president’s speeches have grown darker, harsher, longer, angrier, less focused, more profane and increasingly fixated on the past, according to a review of his public appearances over the years.

Former President Donald J. Trump vividly recounted how the audience at his climactic debate with Vice President Kamala Harris was on his side. Except that there was no audience. The debate was held in an empty hall. No one “went crazy,” as Mr. Trump put it, because no one was there.

Anyone can misremember, of course. But the debate had been just a week earlier and a fairly memorable moment. And it was hardly the only time Mr. Trump has seemed confused, forgetful, incoherent or disconnected from reality lately. In fact, it happens so often these days that it no longer even generates much attention.

He rambles, he repeats himself, he roams from thought to thought — some of them hard to understand, some of them unfinished, some of them factually fantastical. He voices outlandish claims that seem to be made up out of whole cloth. He digresses into bizarre tangents about golf, about sharks, about his own “beautiful” body. He relishes “a great day in Louisiana” after spending the day in Georgia. He expresses fear that North Korea is “trying to kill me” when he presumably means Iran. As late as last month, Mr. Trump was still speaking as if he were running against President Biden, five weeks after his withdrawal from the race.

Why is Melania putting him through this?

This is elder abuse
