| drkohler said: This happens when malignant narcissism meets dementia. It is the worst - and most dangerous for someone with his powers - of all possible combinations. As a son and curious scientist, I was watching as my mother's state of mind slowly deteriorated due to dementia (and to some extend, very old age), from the start (losing short-term memory, losing mid-term memory, crumbling long-term memory) to the (rather ugly) finish in the end at age of almost 100. One of the most precise signals is phonetic paraphasia (apart from meandering walk patterns of his right leg) which is increasingly showing during his babbling speeches (using speeches as a generous word). This is a sign that the medications he takes against dementia are losing their efficiency (these medications can slow down dementia but at some point they simply no longer work). So I'm sure that by end of 2026, we will no longer see any speeches by DT as his moments of clarity diminish to random periods which obviously is not helpful when working in plain sight of cameras (and boy does he love cameras). By end of 2027, he will no longer be able to understand what is going on 99% of the time and he would no longer be "presentable". He will most likely not make it to the end of his term. |
Summed it up quite nicely, i think. Now that i think about it, any 2026 speeches seem more and more doubtful.
Also on what you said about the phonetic paraphasia stuff, that would fit in with what they are saying about him having frontotemporal dementia. Looking at the case of Bruce Willis, it seems like his ability to use language was the first thing to go with him. If so, then Trump will be having more flub ups to the point where he won't be talking at all in the next 3 years or so.
