I think he has finally lost any marbles he had in his tiny little brain!

Came here looking for this. Is it just me or does he sound like he's about to fall asleep? Then he just inserts 'they all love me now, they love me' at different intervals. 😅

Yes, he does, at the Whitehouse press conference yesterday, he referred to how good he was at playing Baseball as a child and how his Mum said he could easily be a professional baseball player.

I find it extraordinary that anyone can be so bonkers and yet still be such an uncharismatic, rambling speaker.

Have you ever got a hold of 'Mein Kampf'. Ramblings of a madman right there.

People all over the world, stenographers desperately trying to put what he's saying into various languages for subtitles.

"Rare Earth...there is no rare Earth....."

Oh and Greenland is a 'giant piece of ice'.

WOT?

Why are those could do something so afraid of him that they do nothing?

He must be a useful idiot. I can't work out how he's useful, but he must be. A distraction?

It's almost laughable that the racist little simpleton feels qualified to judge the IQ of a whole nation.

And the way he harasses Ilhan Omar should be criminal.

It is criminal... he is a criminal.

Whilst I’d like to think that influential people would want to stop him I have a horrible feeling that there are still many people buying into MAGA and think he is great.
It is seriously frightening that he has this much power.

The only member of NATO that's ever triggered article 5 was the USA after 9/11. And NATO responded, sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. And hundreds (thousands?) of lives were lost over there.
And now this be-wigged wotsit has the nerve to stand there and tell the WEF that NATO wouldn't help the USA if it was attacked.

He's beyond contempt.

He really is. Hundreds of European soldiers, including those from Denmark and the UK lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Old Donald though managed to dodge the draft to fight in Vietnam because he had 'bone spurs'.

YourBrickTiger · 21/01/2026 15:39

NATO was formed in 1949 - and he's just said 'Nato wouldn't exist without me'.

This is mad.
Why hasnt he been stopped, surely there must be a time allocated?

And the absolute drivel he is speaking, the insults, the threats just chucked around followed by him saying ' a smart man called me daddy' and then just carries on.

Total madness.

The 'daddy' thing must be haunting Rutte to be fair...

He's got stuck in a loop on this 'no no no' prescription cost thing. It really does sound like dementia.

Edited

He’s had obvious cognitive decline for some time, so did Biden though.

oscalo · 21/01/2026 15:42

He is probably saying and doing things that others fully support. They can then nod and agree silently in the background, while (as pp said) he is the useful idiot who does the dirty work for them. Speeches like Davos and the reactions to it take the focus away from what's really happening.

Unless someone has any other theories...

Because this is the Yoonited States, where a lot of crazy people (a) love Trump and (b) have guns. Check out what happened to various elected Democrats in Minnesota a few weeks ago. There's a kind of informal equivalent of the brownshirts (we could call them the redcaps maybe) that would just lurve to kill a few "libtards" if they knew that they would get away with it.

Do you think Biden was as bad? I certainly don't! He is completely demented, cognitively below any level imaginable, and thinks being able to pick out a giraffe from a lion, a fish and a hippo means he's 'aced' cognitive tests.
His father had alzheimers, I imagine he is well on the way there.

Biden was just old. But he was spot on with knowledge. Trump can't even remember the country Greenland, and calls it Iceland.

YourBrickTiger · 21/01/2026 15:47

OK this is a 'rambling' in my head so feel free to strike me down but - just say he does have dementia. OK? Is this right? I hate him but he's still a human being (of a sort). So if he does have it, why is a doctor not stepping in and stopping this? From a human perspective, it isn't right if he does have it, to just be laughing at him. But it's even more frightening that he is the leader of the free world.

JHound · 21/01/2026 15:47

Biden did far less to be considered not of full capacity. Trump needs to be put out to pasture.

FlyingApple · 21/01/2026 15:48

Has anyone got a video link?

MargoLivebetter · 21/01/2026 15:49

I'm not sure he is demented. I think he is a raging narcissist in full and unchallenged flow. He genuinely believes he is the closest thing to God on earth and I doubt anyone challenges him on anything. So, he believes his own bullshit. It is terrifying to watch.

CalmGreenEagle · 21/01/2026 15:22

I'm not sure how true it is but I read that he's basically incontinent due to all the coke and pills he used to do in the 80s/90s and has to wear incontinence pads because he shits himself multiple times a day. If that is true can you imagine what people would say if it was Obama or Biden who shit themselves multiple times a day? We would never hear the end of it. I don't mean to mock people with incontinence issues but I think it just adds to the fact that he is both physically and mentally unfit to be president.

I have heard there is a far more sinister explanation for incontinence allegedly !
And yes please dont make incontinent people feel shamed for it.

MargoLivebetter · 21/01/2026 15:50

@FlyingApple it is on YouTube on the Associated Press channel. Just look up Trump WEF Davos speech.

Because as a PP said, he is their useful idiot. VP Vance is really not so popular.

Reagan was diagnosed with alzheimers and announced it 5 years after leaving office but he was nothing like Trump is.
They are just using him because he has a fanbase.

I read that wrong and thought you said look up Trump's Flying Apple speech

Best bit was when he repeated the nonsense claim that "without the US you'd all be speaking German..." while stood in Davos, Switzerland, where the majority language is...

OMG I need the laughing emoji back.

And then he goes 'Is Mark here?' - in a room that is in darkness 'He is here. Hi Mark'. 😅
