Thirty-seven mental health professionals tell why he shouldn’t be elected. Scary as hell.

Well, I suppose it wasn't obvious his mental decline was due specifically to dementia as opposed to Alzheimer's or something else.

But first, the mere fact that they made him take the test and he agreed suggests they knew there was a problem before the test.

Then, the fact that he publicly boasted about... really, who would think to do that? Except Donnie, either because he was already in such decline that he thinks it showed he was smart, or because that's what the doctors and his family had to tell him to make him take the test. Or, because Donnie doesn't say anything except to manipulate, meaning he actually failed the test and lied about it. *that* is entirely in keeping with his m.o.

A standard part of the Medicare annual wellness check. But it's not really anything to boast about. It's simple, and only problematic if you can't do it.

which were all aimed at his stupid fking TV show to be sure he'd remember -- man, woman, camera, TV. My screening words are all unrelated like chair, grapefruit, palm tree, bicycle. Give me a fkin' break!

He couldn't remember then so he just looked at what was right in front of him in that moment

but words he made up to brag. I remember watching that brag, and based on his hesitations in coming up with them, I'sbelieve it.

I'd like to know why the media is ignoring the blatant signs of serious dementia? Does some group want him to be president so he can be easily manipulated?

at my last wellness check-up. The only reason it was done is that I turned 70. I don't know if that's medicare protocol, or just what my doctor thinks, but she told me she gives the test to everyone 70 or older. She did the same with my wife.

I remembered all four items a few minutes later. Then as I was leaving an hour later, after bloodwork, etc. I repeated them to the doc as I was leaving. He laughed and said he wasn’t sure if he would have remembered after being distracted by a variety of tests. And he was a little surprised that my blood pressure was 120/70 since I take no meds and never have. He said he wished his b/p was nearly as good and asked my secret. I said, sex, drugs and rock and roll.

where they ask you to draw a clock showing a certain time, I was thinking about drawing the clock with the numbers in Roman Numerals, but I didn't. I'll save that for later.
