With this toxic 🍊 🧩 of 💩

He’s been sick a long time. A lifetime. It’s a reverse Hannibal Lecter: evil and perverse but in 🍊 case malignantly ignorant as well

The frontotemporal dementia is removing his inhibitions, so that he can't maintain the mask of sanity as well as he used to.

He must still have a little bit of self control, though. As enraged as he was, he managed not to physically assault her. One of these days he won't be able to stop himself from doing that, and he'll have to be physically restrained from hitting someone. I dont want anyone to get hurt (except maybe him), but I hope it happens when there are cameras on him, so that the whole world can witness the madness of King Donald.

the fierceness of his anger,
and his body was on the edge of the chair.
His feet looked like they were ready to spring;
like he could go after her at any moment..

And then he put his hand, buddy like, on her shoulder as he left?

I was frightened for her.
I don't know if she understood what she had just been through.

Will THAT be enough to get the Repugs to consider the 25th Amendment? Probably not.

He's unstable and should be removed now, along with the Republican majority in the house and senate at election time for allowing this sick, demented individual to remain in charge.

Unfortunately the pedophile-in-chief is far too egotistical to do something beneficial like that.

Caught with his hand in the cookie jar, snapping out at the evil person who had the nerve to catch him.

Like a trapped rat.

That’s a normal reaction to exposure. This was extreme.

He wanted to hit her.

deposition?

Can you imagine if he would have?

...would be echoing the same sentiment, "She was asking for it and deserved it."

Have a look at comments on Facebook or Youtube on the exchange. "She was a smug, arrogant b***c who got what she deserved."

it would have gotten out. She could have filed charges against him.

"she had it coming"

He said there was malevolent narcissistic personality and picked out the instances in the interview that proved his statement. Officially, he said it needed to come from his doctor.

he never got loud or violent just quiet and confused searching for words.

My sister suffered from FTD for the last 30 years of her life. Of course in the end she had no language ability at all. But when it first started to affect her, back in the late 1990s she had a lot of frustration. She wanted to say something, or understand what was being said to her, and she couldn't or it was very difficult. Conversations went past her and she could only pick out certain words that she still could recognize. Eventually even that became too much for her.

I believe the dementia that PCIntern is discussing (concerning Chump) is not the same type as front-temporal-dementia. Chump is losing control of his emotions, as we saw on TV yesterday, but he hasn't lost his ability to speak and process what's being said to him.

Who was a common sense, practical, educated caring retired teacher turned into an unstable paranoid with delusions that we were trying to kill her. In less than 6 months. Not a happy time.

Lewes Body Dementia is one of the types included under the FTD umbrella, if my memory is correct. That's not what my MiL had as far as we know, but I remember it being on the list because of Robin Williams.

He only listens to toadies, and toadies know when they need to keep quiet. Kristen Welker didn't do that, she needled him with questions and she talked over him, challenging his lies.

To Chump, anything that pops into his head MUST BE the truth, since he's unable to distinguish between the REAL truth and his inevitable lies. Therefore anyone who challenges HIM must be lying. This is pathological behavior, but it's not dementia.

And I do not believe that I’m mistaken with all due respects to the poster whom you were answering.

People have done that with him for decades and lost their shirts. He cannot be reasoned with, since he believes that falsities are true. Sane individuals, even grotesquely malevolent ones know right from wrong.

He is fu*king nuts.

Here's the way I see it:

He projects himself as the greatest man in the world today and perhaps the history of the United States, on par with George Washington. His "landslide" victory in 2024 totally vindicates his claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him. How DARE any lowly reporter ask him questions which challenge or contradict his assertions! The ONLY explanation is she must be crooked or stupid.

How much he believes his own lies is an open question. Unless he is totally delusional, he has to know (despite surrounding himself with yes men) Iran has not begged for mercy, the Strait is still closed, inflation belies his promises, and his poll numbers are abysmal. Multiple sources in his first administration told him he lost the 2020 election, it was not "rigged."

I suspect that deep down he knows these things, and has fear. He is afraid of losing the midterms, being investigated and impeached. Afraid of dying, so he desperately erects monuments to himself. Donald Trump is a sick man mentally, and physically more than is being revealed. The mental pathologies he has always displayed are getting worse.

My aunt 's dementia progressed steadily. Early on, she would abruptly lose her train of thought, forget where she was or why. She would repeat herself within a few minutes, not remembering what she had just said. Eventually, she could not recognized her daughters in whose house she lived.

In what I saw of the Welker interview, Trump was thoroughly, emphatically on point. He was visibly angry, likely due to a number of factors. First is his privileged status and antipathy towards anyone who has the gall to confront him -- especially women of color. But deep down, if only subconsciously, he knows things aren't going well for him. Fear is growing, so he compensates with monuments and depicting himself as savior or superhero in hundreds of Truth Social posts.

He's always felt the need to dominate, to win. Self promotion has always been central to his game. He lies about everything, and won't admit anything. Never play defense, always attack.

Those traits have been evident since he entered politics. Now, nearing 80 years old with evidence of his failures growing harder to ignore, he is more easily emotionally triggered.

That's what I'm seeing, which possibly doesn't preclude dementia. At his rallies he likes to "weave" and perseverate in odd tangents, but that's been going on for years. He's an old man who stays up at night posting on social media, which may account for why he nods off in meetings. Recently said "Ukraine" when he meant Iran, but I haven't seen him really lose his train of thought while he's onto something.

Maybe I just don't watch him enough, which is hard to stomach. His malignant narcissism is definitely getting worse, and I will admit I don't have the professional background to disgnose whether dementia has been added to the mix which includes pathological liar.

But what you’re seeing is a loss of inhibition and the manifestation of unbridled id.

They are the only reason he’s still in office.

My 81yo mom is the same way especially with sundowners and later in the day. She’s a sweet and compassionate person but when she gets sideways there’s absolutely no reasoning with her, even over the simplest of things, you just gotta disengage and walk away, there is zero benefit to debating her regardless of the topic. She always feels like she’s being attacked and gets defensive and nasty.

On the potus front, I legit don’t understand how he’s still above ground. He’s obviously very unhealthy, eats poorly, doesn’t sleep - all recipes for disaster.

'The Biden cognitive cover-up’ was the crime of the century for MAGA but here they are enabling much worse. Words fail.

Too frequently, Trump will rewrite the narrative where he was forceful and right and gave the 'fake' journalist (in this case, Kristen Welker) a well-deserved beat down. He loved doing this to Jim Acosta who had the audacity to rely on facts and would push back on obvious lies.

Haven't heard that Trump has extended his aggression towards Welker. Instead, he reportedly blamed his anger on the . . . rain.

The fake news is now in control of the weather. Who knew?

When I saw clips of that interview I thought Trump was gearing up for an on-camera stroke. His face was scarlet and that expression wasn't normal anger; it was uncontrollable rage.

This is clearly a mentally deranged man who for several minutes revealed his psychosis to the entire world.

He must know how bad it was. Otherwise we'd be listening to him rewrite the script, yowling on and on about what a crap, light-weight reporter Welkin is.

Rain made him do it??

Lame and lamer.

As always, individualized and patient centric.

This patient?

Euthanasia.

The pathologists will have a career case, should he donate his “brain” to science. The study would reveal signs of everything from KGB programming and CIA directed energy weaponry to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and whatever pubic hair Epstein was putting on his Diet Coke. Hope they wear the best splash suits in the inventory and two sets of gloves.

I do appreciate your medical analysis of Trump's demented behavior, of which we have seen plenty of in the past few years.

However I thought Ms Welker solidly held her ground and totally intimidated Trump.
Although he did try talking over her. As his face got redder Ms Welker continued to be very very direct with her questioning. I did not see anything indicating she was "taken aback". She overwhelmed him and his only option was to give up, criticize her, call her names, and runaway because she was eating him alive.

My impressions are not backed up by any type of medical / psychology degree.

She asked for any kind of evidence shich he obviously doesn't have. He is trapped with a circle of yes people and an entire media aparatus that feeds him just enough to feel confident in his anger.

She really pushed back on him. Then she said something I considered whiny that I felt undermined what happened before. I based this on reading the transcript. I didn't want to watch it but maybe I should anyway. It sounds like it got dangerously close to assault.

A few years back, when my dad's dementia began to accelerate and become more debilitating, we had to take away his car keys and stop him from driving any longer. He had become dangerous to himself and others and simply could not be allowed to drive but it fell to me to take the keys away and tell him he would not be getting them back.

That was the angriest I ever saw my dad at me since I was arrested as a 11-year old for criminal mischief for breaking out the windows of an empty house down the street. I got bullied into it by the neighborhood goon/bully but went along with it and had to pay the price (fined, no record, probation for 12 months unsupervised...but took a few swats from the fraternity pledge paddle for my troubles). When I took the keys and told him he would not be getting them back he exploded. Red faced, shaking, just awful memory. It took more than a week for him to talk to me again after that. We never spoke of it again - it was my dad's way of apologizing, accepting the verdict and not fighting or ever raising it again after that, but I remember it all too vividly.

Under almost all conditions, I do not wish the ravages of dementia on any family, but in the case of Trump and Uday and Qusay and the rest of that fucking criminal cabal (lining their pockets with ill-gotten graft around the planet) I hope that they face it in spades and I hope behind closed doors his erratic behavior and hygiene deficiencies are overwhelming and leave permanent bad memories for them all.

You’re not alone…

He knew what was coming and he knew the reporter. He should have expected being questioned about the bad shit he has been doing. Did he think he could control the narrative and outwit her? Piggy is having another meltdown, so sad. I hope he does more of these interviews. It helps to push him over the ledge sooner than later.

People should have their own security in his presence. For everyone's safety.

He's physically too infirm to do much but unlike her I would NOT have let him reach out and touch me - you just don't know what somebody in that state is going to try. He needs to have his own team take care of his issues.
