Since there is so much info here and I can only paste a few paragraphs, ...But this is serious..

Late last month, as part of a half-hearted, last-minute attempt to prevent a government shutdown, Trump welcomed congressional leaders to the White House for a meeting. After it failed to produce results, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters that the president was apparently “not aware” of the key elements of the Democratic position.

A month earlier, Trump said he didn’t “know anything about” a failed top-secret mission in North Korea in 2019 that he reportedly authorized. “I could look but I know nothing about it,” he added. “I don’t know anything about it. I’m hearing about it for the first time.”

At a White House event in July, a reporter noted the Trump administration had paused a shipment of military aid intended for Ukraine a week earlier. Asked who approved this, the president replied, “I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me?”

In May, during a Q&A with a White House press pool, Trump was asked about his administration’s new student visa policy, and he responded in a way that suggested he had no idea what the reporter was talking about.

Weeks earlier, less than 24 hours after he nominated Dr. Casey Means to serve as the nation’s next surgeon general, the president conceded that he didn’t know Means.

1. The only evidence of Trump's decline that I want to see is his death.

Until then, no amount of declining is going to convince people to hoik him out of there.

7. I echo your comment.

13. "hoik out of there" FTW!

I echo your sentiment!

2. Very dangerous people are actually running the Office of the President

The guy sworn in is not only not in charge, he's in worse shape than my sister with dementia just prior to her death.

3. It is Miller and Vought, two truly evil men, running the government.

They are relatively young, which should scare the hell out of everybody.

4. Condolences on the loss of your sister but - You are giving me some hope!

5. Thank you for your kind post

Her mind was so far gone that it was a blessing when it failed to keep her breathing in her sleep. Once a very vibrant, brilliant woman, it was hard for her to know she was losing her mind, but she was aware of it, in between episodes of totally being in some other time/place and not recognizing people, places, things.

Trump is a danger to society because he is out of his mind and others are using him as their own presidential 'autopen'

What those monsters using Trump (and I despise the man) are doing is exploitation and abuse. Karma is a strange thing; he is getting what he did to many and surely has it all coming, but it is criminal abuse and those monsters are destroying the country.

6. Labeling a lying conman as declining is ludicrous at best.

He just doesn’t give straight interest because he’s crooked as hell.

10. Right?

It's reminiscent of how we've been told for 40+ years that the GOP is on its last legs, yet somehow it still controls all three branches of the fed, the media, and most of the military.

It's in their interest to appear weak and faltering, because it hides their corruption.

8. I'm sick of hearing this.

Him and Mike Johnson ... they both keep saying they don't know this or that.

BULLSHIT

THEY ARE LYING

[LymphocyteLover]

15. Johnson is clearly lying every time he speaks. tRump of course lies all the time

but I suspect his most of his ignorance is real... except when he talks about Ghislaine Maxwell -- he's clearly pretending not to know anything about her or her case.

Both of them are just massive scumballs, really evil people, running a vastly evil and illegal enterprise.

9. Then maybe he'll just fucking die already.

11. How is any of this evidence of decline ?

He has little interest in policy positions. He does things based on appearance and how he feels. He could have nominated the doctor based on nothing more than he liked how they looked. He probably didn't even think about what he was nominating them for.

And there is the above comment where he could also be lying in many of these cases.

I think things like the sloppy makeup , not being seen for long periods of time point more to the decline.

The other things could also but it's also not different from how he was before.

12. The man is a world-class gaslighter,

as well as a pathological liar. I don't doubt that he's in steep mental decline, but that's just normal behavior for him. He's full of shit.

14. When Chump says "I don't know anything about that"

... what he's really saying is, "Shut up and get out of my face. I don't want to talk about that."

Here's the truth about Chump: When he really DOESN'T know, he makes something up, and it's bullshit of course. When he says he doesn't know, it's because the cameras are rolling and he doesn't want to be talking about it on record.

Long story short: everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie, one way or another.
