This is so evident. We can see he is not normal-- not only decline. This is being mentally "off" normal in the first place and adding age decline to it.
Block the road now. Too much is at risk to wait! Mobilize Blue state National Guards when threatened. Wait until then. The invasion of one state by another is a call to state Governors to mobilize their National Guards to resist an UNLAWFUL assault. The U.S. military should not accept UNLAWFUL orders. The sooner we get this over with, the better. This confrontation is coming. It is coming! We are stronger now than we will be tomorrow. The confrontation is not a battle or a war. It is a standoff at State borders. One state would be trying to invade another. One is the offender. The other, the defender. We know TACO.
Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly PREEMPTIVE strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? NO EXCUSE! Change your state Constitution. Pritzker. What are you doing?
When captain cheeseburger has that final Big Mac attack it's going to shock a lot of people and the conspiracy theories will go to the next level, I'd guess.
Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong, but I have a vague memory that Trump didn’t particularly like shaking hands when he first started running for Office. Something about germs and the physical contact that bothered him. As I said, I may be wrong. Please correct me.
Yes. Until I saw your comment, I was going to comment about Trump's aversion to handshaking because of germs. Do we actually see him shaking hands in press footage? No. He does shake hands with some foreign leaders, but only because he cannot figure out how to get out of doing so.
I think you're right. Which makes Leavitt's hyperbole about hand-shaking ("he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history.”) even more ridiculous.
It also means that whatever’s going on with Trump’s right hand, which at least one report I saw yesterday discussed, could not have been caused by handshakes.
He’s not having them NOW. My memory is that he had them pretty regularly during his 1st term. His ego needs the adoration.
Also, his schedule is incredibly light. After Tuesday’s 3, 4 hour “cabinet meeting” he had lunch w Vance on Wed, got his intelligence briefing & signed EOs on Thurs, & has NOTHING scheduled for Fri. When he does appear in public, he’s usually seated. Probably because earlier this term when he was standing & speaking he’d get winded. I’m going to have to force myself to watch his KC appearance. I thank he was standing for that.
It was always strikes me that he’s always sitting when he has those Oval Office news conferences or whatever they are. It seems weird for him to be sitting and everybody else standing around him. I bet this is what he’s always done, sat at his desk barking orders at people waiting on him.
As Heather Cox Richardson pointed out, we also see the people around Trump attempting to increase and entrench their personal power because they know Trump's time is limited.
Aspirin used to be prescribed as primary prevention, i.e., to prevent cardiovascular events. The indications have changed and given the risks of bleeding, it’s typically prescribed only for people who have had a cardiac or neurological event. America needs to know why Trump is taking aspirin.
Questions for an MD: Why would someone needing a blood thinner stick with aspirin, especially if the doses become so large that it causes severe bruising and greatly increases the risk of GI bleeding? Why not switch to an anticoagulant such as Coumadin, Xarelto, Eliquis, Pradaxa, etc.? I thought that a big point of anticoagulation was to prevent strokes, not increase the risk of one happening because of a burst blood vessel. And what does the risk of heart attack have to do with it? Why would the risk of one be lower with aspirin than it would be with, say, Xarelto?
In my own experience the doctor started me out on baby aspirin because of a-fib, then after a while switched me to a proper anticoagulant, which I've been taking for many years with no bruising or bleeding problems despite a fairly physical lifestyle.
When I worked in Hospice, I can remember people that seemed old far too young, and others that were sharp as a tack at 100.
I am now 81. As far as I know, my mind is still OK. Physically, I no longer have the stamina that I did just a few years ago. (BUT, if I can pull the money together, I really truly want to walk the Camino in Spain within a couple of years.) Perhaps I am deluding myself, but I still think I can do it if I can walk at my own pace instead of trying to keep up with a group of people half my age as I did the first time I walked part of it with REI.
It's tempting to reach for quick fixes, but too often they ignore the underlying causes and don't solve much of anything. The problem here isn't age, so age limits aren't going to fix it. The problem here is much bigger: "How did this particular spectacularly incompetent and anti-democratic individual come to be elected to the presidency a second time?" To answer this question, we need to address the serious flaws in our aspiring democracy, the ones that predate Trump I. The contributing factors include the Citizens United decision (2010), the rightward swing of the Supreme Court (Roberts was appointed in 2006, Alito in 2007), and the hard rightward (and whiteward) turn of the GOP, which became obvious with the Reagan administration but started in earnest with Nixon's "southern strategy" in the mid/late 1960s.
OK, "the remedy for ignorance is education" -- but what do you mean by "education"? Civics classes, community forums, TV/cable specials, the news media, C-SPAN, that sort of thing? Consider that the electorate is being educated 24/7/365, primarily by paid advertising and organizations pushing their own agendas (e.g., white evangelical churches). How are civics classes, etc., going to counter that?
Also consider that the powers behind the current GOP aren't ignorant at all. They're smart and well educated enough to run corporations, hedge funds, and outfits like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. Loose and non-existent campaign finance laws give them influence far, far exceeding their numbers. How do you propose to deal with that?
By education I mean starting early which should have happened needs to keep happening in our schools. And then awakening or continuing that education in various ways including reviewing and relating it to the present circumstances. By education I also mean conscious raising and relearning basics not smarts in business and finance but what makes us and what we are about. We have to agree about the basics. Apparently we do not.
We need to address a lot- first the stupor, vulnerability, un-involvement of the electorate. Education is a key. (Trump's have been attacking that) Democracy is not a state we arrive at ( and then rest in it) more than a process. We have to use it. We were given the tools. They have had to be updated prior to those flaws. Trump is showing this.. And we have to be very vigilant whenever this process is threatened while also being tolerant. We have had plenty of warning but too many thought that no this could never happen here- so puffed up we have been about our exceptionalism, our great experiment. Now we need correction and find ourselves at a disadvantage unless we can mobilize the electorate, not only on election day. But people have to suffer/feel it before that. We need to keep sounding the alarm.
PS.. I agree this can be seen as starting with Nixon. However that is hindsight..
The question is who my "we" is.. I assume it is your we too. We the majority of the people who want to keep our constitutional democracy. It is now being assaulted from within. "We" meaning we who understand, realize (see) what is happening. We who agree that we have a binding social contract and that there is, ongoing now, a blatant attempt to destroy it.
Start with the "we" who are ringing the alarm bells and gathering these few months. This includes people of all political shades except those engaged in destroying us-i.e. the treasonous, the insurrectionists, and they who hold the legitimately gained power over us and are abusing it. We are at a disadvantage now and will lose only if we do not act together and gather massively. We must engage.
The very nature of democracy makes it fragile. Your "we" is only one faction in a large country of people not always necessarily favoring liberal democracy, which was proven to us last November. We have lost the democracy we used to know. Unless we are willing to live with that, the entire country must fight to restore it, even by violence if nothing else works.
According to a Pew poll in feb 2024 32% of those polled were in favor of a strong leader... more people on the right ideologically.
Someone, here I think, just posted a comment about those who are raised in an authoritarian way preferring this...
My view ( agree it is disdainful) is that this keeps people infantilized- but such it is. Still that leaves the rest of us- 68%. AND I would say if that poll would happen after this administration ( or during) it might be different... very different.
No it was not *proven* last November that people don't always necessarily favor liberal democracy-- or even know what that means. Some, maybe a faction, may not. But over the years we have favored our liberal democracy and that has been proven. We do not want to be Russia, or Hungary. Some people may really want to be ruled. We certainly are in a fight to keep our democracy but I disagree strongly that we have lost it already after 8 months and need to live with that. Your comment is dispiriting and giving in-that's what these MAGA's want you to feel and to say.
If you mean we lost what we used to have--that was always moving and changing, not static. So I don't know what you mean by that. Democracy is a process, not a state of being. We are exercising it now...waking up to the threat. Don't give in and bend the knee- this is not a done deal, a "fait accompl" (i.e. a thing that has already happened or been decided before those affected hear about it, leaving them with no option but to accept it.)
Oh, exactly right again. He’s a bully, not a strategist (Miller, too, I believe); it’s the “brains” behind Project 2025 (Vought?) that props him up. That allows him his vanity lawsuits and investigations, as long as they can rig the midterms and establish a Whites Only Republic.
Good point about Trump wearing a hat to the cabinet meeting. I had interpreted it as his usual ego, due to the idiocy printed on it, but it makes sense that a man who is so vain about his hair would cover it if it revealed another clue to his health issues. I had also noticed that a couple of times lately he has eschewed the necktie, and I wondered about that as well.
You know what else causes bruising like that - IVs, blood tests, and the like. Used when a normal vein can't be found. I had it done a few months and it took a while to fade. My parents' too frequent health emergencies involved a lot of blood and IVs. They fade after a while. However, they can last for weeks. (My first COVID shot left a bruise that didn't fade for 4 weeks - just in time for the 2nd shot, which went in the other arm.)
Odd that no other politician who shakes hands a lot, like Biden, didn't get that. And we all know that POS doesn't do handshakes unless he has no choice. As for his mind, my parents who did have neurological damage (Dad from a massive stroke, Mom from Alzheimers) didn't have the stupidity, jumbled words, incoherent speech, etc. as badly as POS has on every single day. And they were both older than he is when it started.
I was thinking the very same thing yesterday, that his obvious medical issues would be front page news for any other president. I remember when medical problems of Presidents were a serious issue.
Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella proves that even a person trained in medicine and holding such a position should not be taken as unquestionably truthful or truthful at all in this situation. He discredits himself and his professions as clearly as the WH press person Karoline Leavett ( our "Baghdad Bob"). Thank goodness for Aaron Rupar.
So how can Trump get out there, either hiding his hands, or showing them so heavily made up, and think that this does not invite questioning? Answer: He has climbed far and high to his position because of his assessment that his audience are dupes. They were.
Aspirin can bruise. So why mask it? And what else is physically going on? How close are we to JD Vance taking over--he's revving up, feeling his oats. The Trump team are consistent and naked liars and don't keep their lies consistent. They don't think they have to.
The matter of Trump's obvious mental state is alarming, not only is physical state. You don't need to be a psychologist or psychiatrist to know that he is not normal.
With the mental state Trump exhibits, he could not possibly be thinking through all his moves. He's the actor in chief. Who is running the executive besides Stephen Miller? RFK, Jr?
It's super alarming for a POTUS to show this-show this to the world-show what we tolerate. Shameful. We go down this way. It is on us to show fight if we want democracy.
Biden had more press on his deteriorating condition. He *appeared* weakened physically, stuttered, and was careful not to expose himself. Trump's failings are at least as obvious... if not more.
There is malicious power grabbing by the people behind him using his power. Who is running the executive?
******
Trump has two issues: his physical health and his mental state. The mental state is *mental illness* (his personality disorder) on top of aging mental deterioration.
Then there is his physical deterioration. Many professionals are screaming about this.
We've known about Trump's mental unfitness this for years:
"In 2017, psychologist John Gartner collected more than 41,000 signatures of mental health professionals on a petition, directed to then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.[39][40] The petition asserted that Trump suffered from a serious mental illness and was "psychologically incapable of competently discharging the duties" of the presidency. Gartner asserted that Trump's mental handicaps are a mix of narcissism, paranoia, sociopathy, and sadism.[39]"
The funny thing about the makeup on his hands is that it's at least as odd-looking as a bruise would be. Odd non-matching color, and not blended at all.
The mainstream media is not covering it all. They are engaging in distracting and catering to the quotidian needs of their readers. If you are concerned, you have to run around here on the internet to get the whole story. Trump's polls numbers would be much lower if people were learning before it hits their personal lives.
I worked in hospice for 25 years - as a chaplain, not as a nurse
- but it seemed to me that Trump was showing signs of neurological decline even a couple of years before the last election.
Definitely! Especially when one compared him to videos from the 80s & 90s. (HCR mentioned this in one of her videos).
This is so evident. We can see he is not normal-- not only decline. This is being mentally "off" normal in the first place and adding age decline to it.
Block the road now. Too much is at risk to wait! Mobilize Blue state National Guards when threatened. Wait until then.

When captain cheeseburger has that final Big Mac attack it's going to shock a lot of people and the conspiracy theories will go to the next level, I'd guess.
But, MAGA asks breathlessly, will he rise again?
Remember when people believed Elvis wasn't really dead?

I don't know, but in 2017 he practically ripped Shinzo Abe's arm off while shaking his hand. Abe rolled his eyes afterward.
I think you're right. Which makes Leavitt's hyperbole about hand-shaking ("he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history.”) even more ridiculous.
You are exactly right—a famous germaphobe, he avoids touching others … except, apparently, the young girls with blonde hair and coltish legs.
It also means that whatever’s going on with Trump’s right hand, which at least one report I saw yesterday discussed, could not have been caused by handshakes.
“Will Trump have his regular hate rallies”
He’s not having them NOW. My memory is that he had them pretty regularly during his 1st term. His ego needs the adoration.
Also, his schedule is incredibly light. After Tuesday’s 3, 4 hour “cabinet meeting” he had lunch w Vance on Wed, got his intelligence briefing & signed EOs on Thurs, & has NOTHING scheduled for Fri.

And he's usually seated behind something (desk or table) so that we can't see his cankles.
He's had far fewer intelligence briefings than Biden did, and they were few enough in his first term. This has his daily schedule. https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/topic/calendar/

Exactly. I posted an AMA article on it above, and I wonder if he's taking aspirin because he's actually had a heart attack.
From Article II of the Constitution:
“…neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years…”
Time to update the Constitution with an UPPER limit of age.
{sigh}
But I realize that this would occur only in an alternate timeline.
When I worked in Hospice, I can remember people that seemed old far too young, and others that were sharp as a tack at 100.
I am now 81. As far as I know, my mind is still OK. Physically, I no longer have the stamina that I did just a few years ago.

Yes!

The mainstream media is not covering it all. They are engaging in distracting and catering to the quotidian needs of their readers. If you are concerned, you have to run around here on the internet to get the whole story. Trump's polls numbers would be much lower if people were learning before it hits their personal lives.
