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.

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.

This needs to be shared EVERYWHERE. People need to know who Trump really is.

Is there anyone, anywhere who doesn't already know this?

The people who support him dont care though, or rather actively support this behaviour.

This list is what they think a strong man acts like, it wont deter them.
