Trump's Frontotemporal Dementia: Facial Dystonia, Westminister Abbey

[dixiegrrrrl]

video shows normal view, then closeups.
Melania did the same thing at Bush 1's funeral, standing so very close to him, I thought it odd at the time.
But their awkward reverse steps are really noticeable here.

1. You're right!

My father had this condition and I didn't understand the tics and the grimaces for no apparent reason.

2. what caused his symptoms

if you don't mind me asking.

5. My guess is twofold:

1. Hardening of the cerebral arteries, and

2. Social isolation. Dad lived alone (he kind of chased all his kids away) and only had FOX News for communication with the outside world. Toward the end of his life, he was making all sorts of bad and irrational judgments and decisions, such as refusing to let us get checks ready to pay his bills, but he refused. When he died, there were 6 months of unpaid bills as a consequence. And oh yeah, he inadvertently set fire to our house while we were eating dinner downstairs.

3. It looks like he's belching (n/t)

4. Holy Shit

Rescue the planet someone please!!

7. Isn't that rather amazing?

Says a lot about Melanie, too. And about how the family/staff are covering for him.

I was suspecting that "executive time" was for a reason like this.

Tho still amazed he can ramble on for so long at his rallies. Maybe a nap prior to....?

8. He's not a well person

and that's being kind

6. Seriously,

don't you wonder what President Obama is thinking if he has to see this? And, of course, Presidents Clinton?
Yes, God save us now!!!!

9. Freak show

Looks like he's trying to feign an expression of grief or seriousness (but failing miserably)...

10. they're both creepy as hell

11. Wow. Scary and very interesting once you start reading

about dystonia and then other disorders he could have. You become convinced there is definitely a combination of things wrong with him.

Ran across this video of a linguistics expert.

12. As the linguist pointed out

there's a bunch of things wrong that we can see/hear, it is difficult to tease it out why.

I thought Pelosi's " he is not well" is very clever, because she ignores all the discussion of WHY he acts nuts,
but focuses on the fact it is not normal, something is wrong., he can't function as a President should.

13. Kick. Excellent analysis!!!!
