https://www.inquisitr.com/netizens-ask-what-in-the-dementia-is-this-after-trump-gives-strange-rambling-interviewSocial media was left scratching their heads after former president Donald Trump's bizarre, rambling interview aired on Newsmax recently. In the interview, Trump focused mostly on his upcoming debate against Democrat candidate President Joe Biden, but the bit for which he is facing massive trolling on social media is when Trump criticized the border under the current administration.
WHAT IN THE DEMENTIA IS THIS? https://t.co/T7p3r9YAYx
The criticism slowly veered into exaggerated claims about deaths because of Biden's border policy, with Trump suggesting that hundreds have died. But his speech was completely incoherent, with many not being able to understand what he was saying. Meidas Touch reporter Acyn uploaded a clip, with the captions suggesting Trump was saying, "We lose hundreds of, think of it, hundreds of thousands of people are dying at our border, coming through our border every year because of our border."
Internet users slammed the former president, with a user joking, "WHAT IN THE DEMENTIA IS THIS?" Another user mocked, saying, "Just a preview of what to expect at the debate. Its gonna be nuts." Another user slammed, "Every day is hell when millions of people confuse whatever the hell this is with POTUS material..." Someone else slammed, "Trump's brain rot has been the least discussed topic in mainstream media history."
Then, one individual commented on Trump's usage of the phrase 'think of it,' saying, "'Think of it' is one of the phrases Trump uses in a desperate attempt to cover up one of his ever-escalating cognitive glitches." Another user charged with a similar jab, "Fun fact, every time he says 'Think of it' another few brain cells just died," with yet another user saying, "'Think of it' is his tell anytime his memory trips over itself."

(12,791 posts)Long Covid. Trump had a quite serious case of Covid, and researchers have found that some people have long-term effects, including mental issues. Trumps sudden claims that he was tortured when he was booked at the Fulton County jail or that the FBI had planned to assassinate him during the MAL search certainly smack of paranoia. Regardless of the reason, Trump is not even close to being mentally healthy.
Researchers were especially concerned about the development of psychosisa mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from realityin some patients.1 Some [patients] are saying, 'Im having paranoid feelings or Im noticing my mind playing tricks on me' or 'I think Im seeing things or Im hearing things that arent there,' Roger McIntyre, MD, a professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of Toronto and CEO of AltMed, tells Verywell. This is definitely coming out, and Im not surprised given the magnitude of the effect that [COVID-19] is having on peoples brains.

Otherwise, my opinion is that youre on the mark.

(3,066 posts)With the complete shit that's been coming out of his pie hole the last couple months if he just pronounces "yes" properly his Mussolini Clown Coup can shout victory. He's always been an extremely poor TLC channel reality performance artist that scrapes his fruit from beneath the ground. His not so fancy parlor tricks from 2016 were already stale and old and I believe the fool me once principle will ultimately apply.

Once again, it looks like every accusation is a confession.
