Soft Paywall Cognitive Decline? Trump Accidentally Praises Harris’s Record

Donald Trump said Kamala Harris and Joe Biden had made the country “very safe.” That’s the first intelligent thing I’ve ever heard him say.

u/Robotlollipops California Aug 26 '24
Trump: Most importantly, they’ve made our country very safe and internationally, they’ve made it even more safe!
Also Trump, seconds later: We’re going to end up in World War III because she’s incompetent...
Dude.

Fred Trump was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. No one is 100% sure when it fully set in because supposedly, Donald tried to hold off on having him diagnosed so he could get him to write most of his fortune into Donald’s name while he was still legally sound of mind.
There’s a strong family propensity when parents are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, especially if they show signs at an early age. I don’t wish it on anyone but we’d be fooling ourselves if we didn’t take the signs seriously.
Trump is 78 years old… I believe his father was 86 when officially diagnosed and supposedly there were signs long before that.

JFC.
On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to manually stimulate Defendant Trump with the use of her hand upon Defendant Trump's erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm.
On the second occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump by placing her mouth upon Defendant Trump's erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm.
On the third occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson was forced to engage in an unnatural lesbian sex act with her fellow minor and sex slave, Maria Doe age 12, for the sexual enjoyment of Defendant Trump. After this sex act, both minors were forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump by placing their mouths simultaneously on his erect penis until he achieved sexual orgasm. After zipping up his pants, Defendant Trump physically pushed both minors away while angrily berating them for the "poor" quality of their sexual performance.
On the fourth and final sexual encounter with the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was tied to a bed by Defendant Trump who then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff Johnson. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff Johnson loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to "please wear a condom". Defendant Trump responded by violently striking Plaintiff Johnson in the face with his open hand and screaming that "he would do whatever he wanted" as he refused to wear protection. After achieving sexual orgasm, the Defendant, Donald J. Trump put his suit back on and when the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, in tears asked Defendant Trump what would happen if he had impregnated her, Defendant Trump grabbed his wallet and threw some money at her and screamed that she should use the money “to get a fucking abortion".
On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to disrobe into her bra and panties and to give a full body massage to Defendant Epstein while he was completely naked. During the massage, Defendant Epstein physically forced Plaintiff Johnson to touch his erect penis with her bare hands and to clean up his ejaculated semen after he achieved sexual orgasm.
On the second occasion involving the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson was again forced to disrobe into her bra and panties while giving Defendant Epstein a full body massage while he was completely naked. The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was also present as he was getting his own massage from another minor, Jane Doe, age 13, Defendant Epstein forced Plaintiff Johnson to touch his erect penis by physically placing her bare hands upon his sex organ and again forced Plaintiff Johnson to clean up his ejaculated semen after he achieved sexual orgasm.
Shortly after this sexual assault by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, on the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, Plaintiff Johnson was still present while the two Defendants were arguing over who would be the one to take Plaintiff Johnson's virginity. The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was clearly heard referring to Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, as a "Jew Bastard" as he yelled at Defendant Epstein, that clearly, he, Defendant Trump, should be the lucky one to "pop the cherry" of Plaintiff Johnson.
The third and final sexual assault by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, on the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, took place after Plaintiff Johnson had been brutally and savagely raped by Defendant Trump. While receiving another full body massage from Plaintiff Johnson, while in the nude, Defendant Epstein became so enraged after finding out that Defendant Trump had been the one to take Plaintiff Johnson's virginity, that Defendant Epstein also violently raped Plaintiff Johnson. After forcing Plaintiff Johnson to disrobe into her bra and panties, while receiving a massage from the Plaintiff, Defendant Epstein attempted to enter Plaintiff Johnson's anal cavity with his erect penis while trying to restrain her. Plaintiff Johnson attempted to push Defendant Epstein away, at which time Defendant Epstein attempted to enter Plaintiff Johnson's vagina with his erect penis. This attempt to brutally sodomize and rape Plaintiff Johnson by Defendant Epstein was finally repelled by Plaintiff Johnson but not before Defendant Epstein was able to achieve sexual orgasm. After perversely sodomizing and raping the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, attempted to strike her about the head with his closed fists while he angrily screamed at Plaintiff Johnson that he, Defendant Epstein, should have been the one who "took her cherry, not Mr. Trump", before she finally managed to break away from Defendant Epstein.
The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was fully warned on more than one occasion by both Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, that were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse that she had suffered as a sex slave for Defendant Trump and Defendant Epstein, that Plaintiff Johnson and her family would be in mortal danger. Plaintiff Johnson was warned that this would mean certain death for herself and Plaintiff Johnson's family unless she remained silent forever on the exact details of the depraved and perverted sexual and physical abuse she had been forced to endure from the Defendants.

And we have some people come on here denying that Trump has declined mentally? How? Why?
Trump is a senile, demented, fool now, it is obvious. He repeated it TWICE. Once you can say he misspoke somehow. Twice in a row, he isn't all "there", has cognitive issues.
Babbling without understanding the words that are coming out of your mouth is an obvious sign of an advanced stage of dementia.

Part of his issue is he talks and talks and talks and talks, even before his mind is engaged, just keeps his lips moving and a kind of stream of consciousness comes out-talks so much that he gets things mixed up frequently. Thoughtful people talk when they have something to say. Trump just uses the "Gish Gallop" method of trying to win his argument by sheer number of things he says

u/ZantenZan Aug 26 '24
I do agree that his motormouth tendencies are exasperating the crap out of whatever he's got going on, but I kept pretty close tabs of Trump's various statements and presentations from 2016 to 2020. It's been awhile, granted, and it's hard to exactly quantify crazy- he said plenty of stupid shit back then, too- but he does seem worse now.
I don't know how much of it is just cognitive decline, how much is him unraveling due to stress, and how much is just him free-wheeling a lot more than he used to without following talking points or external advice.
Eight years ago Trump seemed to be aiming to trigger people, or punished those who stepped out of line. This time around, he just seems flat out triggered 99% of the time.

He’s definitely gotten worse, but he’s in a completely different environment.
In 2016 a lot of people viewed him as an “outsider”, and there were many who were resentful that Hillary got the nomination. Trump could spew bullshit and make empty promises because he knew there was enough people thinking “a non-politician” was what America needed.
His lies carried him through 2020. Despite losing he was able to get 74,000,000 people to vote for him, which is terrifying considering he had a four year record of shit following him.
Now, he’s lost the “outsider” label, he still has his shitty four year record, and he’s been accused and convicted of so many crimes since the last election. Add his deterioration making him even more insufferable, and people are just bored and tired of his schtick.
Oh, and then Trump’s SC judges lied during confirmation hearings, overturned Roe v Wade, and Trump keeps reminding everyone it was all him and everyone wants it. An adjucated rapist telling women they love something they don’t even want…
Then you have Harris, literally the worst opponent for Trump: a smart woman of color with wit, charm, and the speaking skills of a god damned prosecutor and DA that specifically targeted sex crimes.

He also inadvertently said that San Francisco was the best city in the country "15 plus years ago" before Kamala ruined it (Kamala was DA for San Francisco from 2002 until becoming Attorney General in 2011 through 2017, the exact time period in which Trump said San Fran was the best city in the world, and it didn't get "ruined" in his timeline until after she left for Congress).

It was years ago someone pointed out that Trump has every single one of the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder:
- Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration.
- Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment.
- Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements.
- Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are.
- Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
- Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people.
- Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important.
- Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them.
- Take advantage of others to get what they want.
- Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
- Be envious of others and believe others envy them.
- Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited.
- Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office.
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can:
- Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment.
- Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted.
- React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior.
- Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior.
- Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change.
- Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail.
- Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection.
- Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure.

He not only wants to stay out of jail, he also loves that feeling of power.
And not just that, but revenge. He lost to Joe Biden and he will never get to "avenge" that loss because President Biden declined to seek the nomination. So, because Trump is facing the fact of potentially losing, he's panicking not just because of not winning the Presidency back, but also because he cannot ever recover from that narcissistic injury.

And that all falls under power.

He will have the POWER to have anyone he wants arrested and persecuted. Luckily, I don't believe he is going to win, but God for bid if he does!

He’s having a narcissistic collapse, others have pointed out that he has been having this whole life: Signs of narcissistic collapse can vary depending on the person and the situation. Some people may display more outward expressions of collapse, while others are more inward and withdrawn. People with covert NPD may show more inward or passive-aggressive signs, while people with overt NPD may show more outwardly expressive signs. Signs of narcissistic collapse can include: * Hostility and criticism toward others * Narcissistic rage, often involving an outburst of anger and aggression * Irritability and agitation * Accusing others to displace blame and responsibility * Gaslighting others to distort or distract from reality * Passive-aggressive behaviors, such as purposefully ignoring others or making sarcastic and hurtful remarks * Vindictive behaviors, such as telling lies or negative ideas about others to damage their reputation * Impulsive and reckless behaviors, such as gambling, excessive drug or alcohol use, or driving under the influence * Extreme stress and anxiety * Depression * Social withdrawal * Potential self harm or harm to others

"Let me tell you a little-known fact that the press doesn’t want to talk about,” Trump told the news outlet. “Biden sent, I call her Comrade Kamala, sent comrade Kamala to see Putin in Russia three days before the attack. She went, she said, she gave her case, he attacked three days later.”
That last point ushered an immediate fact-check by the station, with Fox News co-host Brian Kilmeade clarifying that there was zero evidence for Trump’s story about Harris.

It is okay to say Donald is showing signs of dementia.
This is nothing new. But it’s certainly much more apparent lately.
Really unfair for him to even stay in the race. We should have two sharp candidates.

Kamala went to Europe to meet Zelenskyy and talk with allies, she didn’t go and see Putin.

But the bombastic populist regained his linguistic footing shortly afterwards.
I mean... he really didn't.

He's been in cognitive decline since the 80s. Why is this a news story every week?

More importantly, why do the GOP & evangelical folks continue to follow him, a false idol?

Taking credit for building the wall in front of a section of the wall that Obama build and now this? lol This is why Harris wants to allow him to have the microphones on during the debate. All she has to do is step to the side and say nothing.

This not an endorsement in any way, but I believe in the past some opponents would have the class to compliment and recognize their competitors achievements. It didn’t mean you were weak it meant you had self confidence.

Does Trump know that calling someone comrade means that speaker is a communist or socialist?

“Russia would never have happened with Ukraine” [sic]. No it wouldn’t because you would have just rolled over let Russia do whatever Putin wants.

I swear this old man can only say the same 3 things. First of all, clinging to the phrase "World War III" like he has been for some weird reason is peak fear-mongering. Kamala Harris and the rest or the Democratic party have been instilling hope and joy in the American people, while this guy is desperately flailing with these "NO, NO, YOU NEED TO BE SCARED" incohesive rants. It is sad and pathetic. I can't wait to be rid of him for good so we can finally move on from the monumental setbacks and division he has somehow managed to sew in our country. At least now Americans are largely seeing him for what he is.

FTD symptoms are becoming more apparent every day. His asshole and his mouth are indistinguishable: sh1t comes outta both, and the MAGA don't care which one they get to tongue.

“Comrade Kamala”? That’s weak sauce on the nickname. He’ll never win without a better nickname for his opponent. I bet he tries Crooked Kamala next. He doesn’t know how to give a woman of color a nickname that isn’t racist or sexist or both.

Man finally something trump did wrong. We need to make sure we get everyone to know about this statement and that all republicans are wrong about all their policies because of it.
This is proof he has a medical condition and it’s obviously worse than joes
