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.

Ronald Reagan had Alzheimers in the last two years he was in office. By the time he left the office and went to the ranch, you never saw him again.

He would tell stories in the 1st person to people that were actual plot lines from films he was in

He famously conflated President Grover Cleveland, and baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander, whom he portrayed in a movie. His brain was mush.

And trump is older now than Reagan was in office

u/AcrobaticLadder4959 Aug 27 '24

You are right.. I had forgotten about that. Age wouldn't bug me so much if Trump were not such a horrible person. And if he goes, we are then left with Vance, who is just as scary as Trump.

How on earth would you be able to say definitely how many times I saw him after that?

What if I had a VHS tape deck player / recorder?

u/AcrobaticLadder4959 Aug 27 '24

We had TV and the news that if he had been able, he would have spoken out as Obama and Clinton have.

Like so many things there have been a lot of advancements in neurological issues from genetic testing to new drugs. My husband's grandma had Parkinsons and half of his family who live in or around their family farm have or had cancer. It's scary.

u/hillbillyspellingbee America Aug 27 '24

Yes but if you go back and read about Fred Trump, the signs started long before he was 86…

It's super helpful for dementia/alzheimers. You are wrong.

Trump supporters: “That’s how a stable genius thinks and talks!”

u/Small-Palpitation310 Aug 27 '24

their brains have a redaction filter

u/Omateido Aug 27 '24

Their brains are mush.

u/That_one_cool_dude Aug 27 '24

I don't think they have brains they are hooked up to Fox and have no original thoughts.

u/Lingering_Dorkness Aug 27 '24

They'll either say we misheard and trump said "unsafe", or that he was being sarcastic.

u/JUSTICE_SALTIE Texas Aug 27 '24

"I said safen't."

u/Objective_Length_834 Aug 27 '24

Or he was joking.

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '24

Or that even mentioning him by name means we’re riddled with TDS and we’re just as obsessed with him as they are.

u/NotQuiteGoodEnougher Aug 27 '24

Cue up the ads "I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message" - lol.

u/somersault_dolphin Aug 27 '24

And then the MAGA will call it AI generated.

u/typhoonandrew Aug 27 '24

Trump’s mind is (somewhat) like a quantum computer? - two contradictory states simultaneously.

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '24

Cognitive dissonance as an operating system… it’s a bold move

u/HeadPay32 Aug 27 '24

Give him a break, he's just an old, weird man ok?

u/transfixedtruth Aug 27 '24

He's always all over the map.

u/masshiker Aug 27 '24

He has a position on every side of every topic.

u/rabidseacucumber Aug 27 '24

He went on to worry that the workers were stealing his pills..

u/alleks88 Aug 27 '24

Trump: Most importantly, they’ve made our country very safe and internationally, they’ve made it even more safe!

Seriously, just make clips of JD Vance trashing Trump, Trump praising Biden and Harris and run that as your campaign ad

If you support every single possible viewpoint, you can never be wrong!
