62. MAGA is liking Trump less and less as young MAGA Republicans are anti war
Wed Oct 29, 2025, 05:10 PM
Yesterday

As Trump's numbers keep going down among Republicans , Tucker who is very critical of the Gaza genocide, has numbers that are going up. Trump has a problem with Young Republicans, MTG, Tucker, Massie, Rand Paul, Candace Owens, Matt Gaetz etc. who are anti war. Even, Megan Kelly, does some wavering when it comes to Gaza.

Tucker read Trump anti war quotes that Trump promised MAGA before he was elected and then listed what Trump has NOT done. Main one was promise to MEGA to put America first before foreign wars and stop giving money to foreign governments.

REPUBLICAN PARTY IS SPLITTING! Lots of MAGA's not happy! I bet MTG is setting herself up to run as VP. Trump hates Massie and says he will unseat Massie - then, after Trump declares he hates Massie, Massie gets tons of donations from Republicans. Trump says Massie should be kicked out of Congress. but many online Republican's want Massie to run for President. Rand Paul is going after Trump for killing fisherman in South America, Candace believes Trump might have had prior knowledge of Charlie's murder. Get the popcorn!!

He would have been impeached their first time if it weren't for all of them, acting in unison, to keep him in power.......

It is not Trump, Trump, Trump........we should be saying Republicans, Republicans, Republicans every time anything is discussed or written.....
It is the Republican Politicians, led by Steven Miller, et al, that are all lurking the in shadows, executing the 2025 overthrow plan. Trump is merely a pawn of all of them, and Putin, to divert attention from their constant covert activities.........

But we had the decency to attend to his physical needs and protect the public by taking away his car keys when it was necessary and by NOT electing him to the Presidency or acting like a gang of self-absorbed cowards to allow him to make critical decisions daily when we had the power to intervene.

I will loathe the name "Trump" forever... so much so that I have quit playing card games that utilize a trump suit (and I LOVED Euchre too dammit!!!).

This is the second time I am living through this nightmare (first was my paternal grandmother - who lived for 12 years in a fog of no memory and constant fear because she could not understand what was happening every day). I see the exact same things happening to my dad that happened to my grandmother and it breaks my heart and curdles my blood with dread that there is a genetic pre-disposition to this in my family. I am pretty sure that my great-grandmother also had dementia but she died in the late 1970s and most people then called it "senility" and accepted it as old age.

That said, it is really no joke to allow him - with the symptoms becoming so much more pronounced and obvious when he is not stage managed tightly - to remain in power. I can't stand the couch-fucker any more than I can abide Stephen Miller, but they are simply evil douchebags, Trump is a whole different level of insane AND dangerous.

He wasn't listening or he was hungry or hangry or needed one of his team of DEI floozies to flirt with. Or was having problems putting on socks, shoes, undergarments, belt etc and couldn't focus and he didn't want to go anyway and why should he and so forth.
You can see taking those two steps without a handrail threw him off and he needed help to get out of the room.

I wish our Democrats (all) would focus verbally on his growing physical and mental incapacity. Would it hurt to suggest Trump may be incapable of dressing himself or showering without help? I truly believe he is receiving that help. Every blunder he makes should find it's way to as many print, video or audio medias as possible.

He was talking about Canada when he was giving a speech in Japan? Then he tells the troops about catapults, steam engines and how he doesn't like good looking people.

At least he's still keeping his clothes on. My friend use to take off his clothes and go outside to interact with neighbors as if everything was normal. His wife would run out and try to coach him back inside. She had to eventually send him to a memory care unit where he seemed happy and lived another 6 months.

Pedo Trump would love a memory care unit. They are use to people thinking they are royalty.

40. My mother had dementia. Not Alzheimer's, but very similar, and can only be differentiated by autopsy.
Wed Oct 29, 2025, 01:28 PM
Yesterday

Its chief difference was its arc; she (and the rest of the family) suffered with it for 15 years, perhaps more - the onset was slow and subtle, and she was always a little odd.. The last time she ever addressed me directly, she pointed with a very shaky index finger and said "Coupons." My 5-year old son, not fully grasping the situation, thought that was comical.

God help me, even with my experience with this MFer of an illness, I see videos like this as hopeful. What has happened to us?

I know this is off-topic, but it hit me so hard in the feels that I sometimes feel the need to tell this little story.

My son and I lived on Vancouver Island in those days, and were on the ferry to the mainland to visit the fam. I thought I should take his temperature on this (so to speak) and prep him a little, if necessary. I told him that we were going to see Grandma, and she was quite sick. He said he knew, and thought he knew what was wrong.

I said "What do you think it is?"

He said "I think she has Old-Timers Disease."

"Right. Do you know what that is?"

"Yes. It's what robs the good times from your mind."

41. That occurred the day after the fiasco aboard a Navy ship.
Wed Oct 29, 2025, 01:30 PM
Yesterday

- Trump tries to explain water to the Navy — then wanders off while meeting Japan’s Prime Minister. The same people who called Biden “senile” are dead silent now. It was supposed to be a show of strength: the commander-in-chief aboard an aircraft carrier in the Pacific, surrounded by sailors and flags. Instead, it was a brainfart in slow motion.
Trump spent nearly twenty minutes rambling about magnets.
Not defense strategy, not China, not even veterans — magnets.
“You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets — I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he told the troops aboard the USS George Washington, before declaring that he’d sign an executive order to bring back “steam-powered catapults” and “hydraulic elevators.”
At one point, he actually polled the audience: “Who prefers magnets? Who prefers hydraulics?”
Sailors looked at each other in disbelief. Some laughed nervously.
It was the kind of moment that would have dominated every front page — if Joe Biden had done it.
But Trump wasn’t done.
The next morning, during a welcoming ceremony in Tokyo, he seemed to lose track of where he was and walked away from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi mid-procession.
Cameras captured the awkward scene as a Secret Service agent gently redirected him back.
No one shouted about it on Fox News. No pundits demanded a cognitive test.
No endless cable loops calling it proof of decline.
Yet just months ago, the same people mocked Biden for tripping on a sandbag.
This isn’t about a stumble or a gaffe.This was a sitting president unraveling in real time — confusing basic technology, slurring through half-finished thoughts, and wandering off during a diplomatic event.
Trump has insisted he “aced” a mental exam that asked him to identify animals like elephants and giraffes.
Now, by his own admission, he’s taken another one — an MRI and a “very hard aptitude test” involving those same questions doctors use to check for dementia.
It’s not hard to see why.
The right spent years convincing voters that Biden’s age made him unfit for office. But what we’re watching with Trump isn’t age — it’s deterioration.
He isn’t just forgetting words; he’s forgetting reality.
A president who thinks water destroys magnets, who confuses himself mid-sentence, who loses his bearings beside a foreign leader — that’s not a punchline.
That’s a crisis.

Anyone observing this wannabe tyrant must admit that he is just a cartoonish character, (who is inclined toward wearing golden bronze makeup ) is merely a weak/decrepit and demented little man..

So, I suggest that rather than having him in charge of our mighty Nuclear Codes as the POTUS.
This problematic ancient dude should spend this second term in prison or better yet put him in a padded room at The Walter Reed Military Hospital’s Psychiatric Ward where he belongs.

He has got to receive adequate treatment to address his evidently mental health issues ASAP. Evidently, nowadays his insanity is a lot more dangerous and easily perceived than back then
in 2016 during his first term.
