Even Republicans are starting to voice concerns about President Donald Trumps mental state and physical well-being.
On Friday, former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger posted a Substack essay and video detailing his concerns regarding the presidents mental acuity. Kinzinger is also an Air National Guard veteran and works as a commentator for CNN.
You dont know anymore whats an act, whats real. But I mean, it feels like hes even descended since the beginning of his term, Kinzinger said in the video. Three years left of this and thats the question. So when he does hit a point where hes completely out of it, would there be anybody that had the courage to do the 25th amendment? So you may ultimately end up with a Weekend at Bernies president.
In recent months, Trump has demonstrated memory problems, mixing up the names of people, places, and aircraft, sharing factually inaccurate stories, and failing to recognize people he knows, including world leaderseven when theyre sitting right in front of him.

Stephen Miller drives the crackdown on immigrants and the push to use the National Guard, he wrote. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is leading the assault on public health. Russell Vought is overseeing the mass firing of thousands of federal workers.. The truth is, what Donald Trump says matters less than what those behind him do, he added. And that may be the most dangerous reality of all.

But over the last few months, it has occurred to me that, for all the hype about generative AI systems hallucinating, we pay much less attention to the fact that the current President does the same thing, nearly every day. The more you look at the way Donald Trump spews utter nonsense answers to questions, the more you begin to recognize a clear pattern he answers questions in a manner quite similar to early versions of ChatGPT. The facts dont matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate.

This is not the response of someone working from actual knowledge or policy understanding. Instead, its precisely how an LLM operates: taking a prompt (the question about job losses) and generating text based on some core parameters (the system prompt that requires deflecting blame and asserting greatness).
The hallmarks of AI generation are all here:
Confident assertions without factual backing
Meandering diversions that maintain loose semantic connection to the topic
Pattern-matching to previous responses (ripped off, billions of dollars)
Optimization for what sounds good rather than whats true

Which doesn't negate other evidence that his brain is turning into orange mush now.
