42. He may have dementia, but I disagree that that post of his in the OP is evidence.

That post sounds like the exact same Donald Trump who insisted his Jan 2017 inauguration crowd was the biggest, who refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, etc. etc. Lies and gaslighting has long been his M.O.... possibly his whole life. So I don't see that post as indicative of dementia. Which isn't to say that there may not be other signs of diminishing mental capacity. My point was just that I don't agree with Seth Abramson's take on that post.
