Has he finally lost it? What is he rambling on and on about?

Confused

I don’t believe he has dementia. He’s always been like this, it’s just that because of COVID we’re getting to experience more of him.

There’s twitching and jerking and swaying in the last 6 months though. It’s not just his speech. His gait is off, his arm swing is off.

"If I hadn't been elected there'd be no world anymore"

"The Plague"

It's either dementia or drugs. Perhaps both.

Davespecifico · 18/04/2020 23:58

He is hugely immensely popular with multitudes of Americans. There would be nothing he could do or say to change that.

HandfulOfDust · 18/04/2020 23:58

I do wonder whether he's mentally ill or simply has some kind of permanent personality disorder which is exacerbated by his position.

Ginkypig · 18/04/2020 23:59

A big problem is like people say the only way to get him out is for him to die well yes but he will be replaced by someone he has hand picked who will have all of his views and more intelligence which is horrific

Watching in disbelief - every time you think he can’t get any worse!

Cynderella · 19/04/2020 00:03

I find it compulsive viewing - like any minute, someone will jump out and admit that it's a Truman show type wind-up. But no. The med people are stepping on eggshells. The journalists turn up every day to be insulted. Every night, the conferences become less about what's happening and more of an election pitch. At least he's stopped talking about the Chinese Virus. Shame it's replaced by swipes at 'Sleepy Joe'. He's so dangerous.

Watch with the sound off - otherwise the slurring is distracting - but there is constant jerking of his left shoulder.

I think it’s sad. I know he’s horrible but if he was your dad or grandad you’d get him neurologically evaluated, not send him out for the world to laugh at him.

sobeyondthehills · 19/04/2020 00:07

I don't think he is ill, I think he is not use to being told no or you are wrong.

I also think he has a serious problem with women

JudyCoolibar · 19/04/2020 00:08

I wish some of those journalists would simply quote his own words back to him and ask what the hell it means.

sadpapercourtesan · 19/04/2020 00:09

Watching it on catch-up now. This is his worst yet, I think. The angry rant a few nights ago was shocking, but this disjointed, paranoid rambling is actually quite unsettling.

I feel very sorry for decent, switched-on Americans right now. They must be terrified. We've got it bad with Boris the spoiled chancer and his band of sociopathic Tory weirdos, but this is on another level.

BruceAndNosh · 19/04/2020 00:09

True about it not being about coronvirus any more.
He's just using these briefings as the Trump Show.im expecting him to turn up wearing a Make America Greaterer hat soon

user764329056 · 19/04/2020 00:09

To previous poster, I can’t imagine him ever agreeing to neurological testing or admitting there is anything wrong with him

DishingOutDone · 19/04/2020 00:17

Its difficult to comprehend how insular and poorly educated such a significant swathe of America is. Pundits reckon there is literally nothing he could do to lose the next election. It is truly frightening.

BTW @Hedgesfullofbirds lovely use of gallimaufry there, bet you've been waiting a very long time for the opportunity to get that into a sentence!! Grin

He seems to get prior warning of the spasms though, and sort of braces himself.

Doubletrouble99 · 19/04/2020 00:21

He's a big spoilt baby. All he wants is for everyone to say how wonderful he is. He has no idea that Journalists are supposed to question the Government's stance.
No one has ever told him he's wrong. He has actually managed to get to this age thinking he can lie and just because he says it's true we will all believe it. It's all totally mad.

Hedgesfullofbirds · 19/04/2020 00:25

@DishingOutDone - you have guessed my guilty secret!Grin

somebodyelseinstead · 19/04/2020 00:26

You couldn't make it up...

When Obama said that Trump was "Uniquely unqualified" to be president, he wasn't wrong, was he?

KenAdams · 19/04/2020 00:44

What Trump voters heard: The Democrats are trying to take away your guns

What everyone else heard: If I hadn't been elected the world would be over

He doesn't get to do his campaign rally at the moment so he's using his platform as a sitting president in the White House to campaign as a Presidential candidate. It gives his campaign more credibility and is very, very dangerous.

circusintown · 19/04/2020 01:11

Where is Obama now? Does he just have to disappear and take this shit on the chin? Confused

MigginsMs · 19/04/2020 01:14

*I don't think he is ill, I think he is not use to being told no or you are wrong.

Exactly this. He is unbelievable
