What an utterly vile, ignorant and disgusting post. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands Bush and his cronies have murdered with their invasions and war crimes. Must be nice to be in comfy America where nod rones murder you out of the blue.

You guys are F-ing killing me. You have no idea what Trump is about to unleash in the world. He's trying and will cut BILLIONS in foreign aid!
"Sub-Saharan Africa is grappling with record levels of displacement and hunger due to conflict and drought, but President Donald Trump is proposing "deep cuts to foreign aid" that would hit this continent the hardest. According to the U.N., more than 20 million people are on the edge of starvation in just four countries, three of which are in Africa: South Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria."

Look I'm not trying to trivialize the more than half a million people who died in the 8 years under Bush. But that's going to seem like a picnic compared to the 10s of MILLIONS of people who will be left to die under Trump. Just because YOU don't give a crap about the people in a specific region of the world doesn't mean they don't flipping exist!
The only ignorance is the effect Trump is and will have. The policies of reducing foreign aid to the levels proposed WILL KILL more people than any almost any other war in history short of the world wars. And that's just one flipping policy.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You are making facts and insane predictions out of thin air because you are mad at the bad man on Twitter. You are spitting in the face of the millions of victims of US foreign policy in the Middle East in the last 15 years. Are you honestly this delusional and uninformed that you think the hunger crises are Trump's fault?! I hope you are on the streets protesting capitalism every day, because that is what is killing all those people, not Trump.
WTF no one is blaming the hunger crisis in Trump. How the hell am I spitting in the face of those in the Middle East when you aren't giving crap about the incredible loss of aid especially knowing the critical situation all the while cutting taxes for the wealthy. How the hell are you going to claim one is worse than the other: these are FACTS cutting US foreign aid by BILLIONS, WILL KILL PEOPLE. Why the hell are you advocating not giving a crap about those who will be affected by this??? My argument is and has been Trump will and is affecting more people around the world negatively than George Bush, im not pullling this out of thin air just because you're too ignorant and shortsighted to see the effect the policy will have and how many people it will affect doesn't make it less legitimate. Again because YOU don't care about people in a specific reason doesn't negate the sheer volume of people that will be affected.
The problem with dementia is that you can't turn it off and on and will. You can't tweet out something crazy and then walk to air force one with your grand kids as if nothing has happened 5 minutes later.
I have a parent who's going through the motions right now and what Trump is doing looks like Trump not dementia.
His eye sight getting worse and Trump being Trump refusing to wear glasses or him being burned-out / tired of the job I can believe.
But hey this is Trump. He went to 3 states on one day and campaigned from 05:00 until 05:00 the day before the election.
For all his hubris he's quite vital for someone over 70 with this body mass.
Do not forget that he's surrounded by 'killers' as he calls them. When the time comes Donald wanders off from the White House in the middle of the night to check on the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow the people surrounding him call up Ivanka to get her to remove daddy from the oval office.
Clear signs would be if he can't make his hand gestures again. He's always been awkward in interviews, walking off when it suited him, moving up stairs like a robot and walking around like he owns the place wherever he goes.
Also ignoring people has also been part of a thing he does for fun, like the crazy handshake thing. You can act like an asshole or an eccentric billionaire you can't act like someone who has dementia and get away with it.
Trump is pretty much doing what he said he would do when he got elected. He vowed to end political correctness, drain the swamp, build a wall, kill terrorists etc. and he's well on his way on making good on some of those promises.
I mean, political correctness is dead in the Trump white house. This is the guy who decided to wing a presidential debate I don't find it surprising that his improvised ramblings aren't always hitting all the right marks.

Watch Trump videos from the 80s and 90s and this will become obvious. He could actually string together a sentence.
I agree with Nintex above. Trump is winging it because he doesn't care and is ultimately very lazy when it doesn't benefit his business and even then he would probably rather let someone else do the heavy lifting while he plays golf. The only difference is he looks like a right idiot because it's politics, he is neither clever or experienced to get away with it so comes across terribly as he tries to make up political skewed BS on the fly after not doing his homework.
I totally thought the same about Trump and glasses too.

Scary stuff

Yeah that was basically my take. All the twitter stuff etc is just him being the same asshole that he always was, it was just less obvious because he wasn't as in over his head and he was less in the spotlight.
It's pretty much the same basically.
Also, Trump tested this approach during the campaign. At some point during a rally he spend about 30 minutes detailing how eminent domain works and friends and foes were surprised at how well he was able to nail down the details.
The crowds got bored and just wanted more 'Wall' and 'Crooked Hillary' so he dropped it from later rallies. His recent Christmas rally is also an example of Trump not having changed.
He shifts seamlessly, reading from the teleprompter, emphasizing something, veering off to discuss a non-related subject and then moves back to the teleprompter speech again.
He spoke more polite on say Oprah but that's what people in general did back then. Still, the message was the same, everyone's ripping us off just look at Japan building cars, importing billions. It never ever changed.
So here's Trump in the 90's, CNN expert on North Korea.
Here's Trump like 2 months before the election. While he was rambling on in rallies daily:
The only thing that changed is his haircut, the fact that he doesn't pretend or tries to be part of the 'elites' anymore and raises his voice during rallies doesn't mean that Donald Trump has gone mental.
I think the shouting during the rallies and the Tweets are what's giving people the impression that he has lost his mind. While nothing has changed ever since he started tweeting on a personal note.
The biggest change is that he is president now and on some topics he's in way over his head. But Trump doesn't want to look stupid, so he makes a statement that he thinks is smart based on what he has seen on TV regarding the subject.
I do think people do not credit him enough on the economy though. The economy is mostly based on the 'mood' in the nation. You can actually get an economy to grow by telling everyone it's doing great and Trump is quite the cheerleader.
Some of the statistics, like the confidence index are hard to falsify or influence. Now this is a short term effect as people later need to find some sort of 'proof' that it is indeed going well (this is where confirmation bias comes into play).
I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel schadenfreude whenever questions over his health arise. I've never seen a more stubborn 71 year old body.
Humanizing these savages only serves to legitimize their world views. And try telling every Black, Latino, Muslim and LGBT person in this country that Trump is just a "political opponent". Lmfao you might as well just say "both sides are bad" and be done with it.

Watch old interviews with him, he seems to be thinking much faster on his feet, building much more complex sentences and not being as slow to maintain a relatively clear enunciation.
Part of it is getting old, certainly, but there's a lot of deteriation detectable in his speech.
In the hot ashes of the dumpster fire that is President Trump's attempt to engage with the British Prime Minister, Mitch Benn has recorded a response that sums up our national exasperation with the orange buffoon.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder and probs early Dementia is what Trump is. Aka a giant sack of crap, and also a baby, who should not be the President of the fucking United States.
He's really easy to manipulate and control tho! Which is great for the GOP.

Inability to form coherent sentences
Heavy breathing through the nose
Distraction when speaking
Yes. Mid-stage is the point where a person can't even dress themselves, and Trump isn't there yet.
