Grim Chieftain

Have you noticed Trump is looking really disheveled lately?

No tie, shirt unbuttoned, sweaty looking, that insipid MAGA hat on even when he's indoors. That would seem to be a red flag for dementia, especially when a president is supposed to have some decorum. His followers will probably see it as the rebel spirit in him. It's weird.

Cannot control impulsive and uncouth language
Cannot understand nor answer simple questions
Cannot recall names of important people
Celebrating sadistic behaviors publicly

He's fucking losing it quick

That's why his vultures are circling tightly, they have to get the control before the realization of unavoidable accountability sinks back into the public eye.

It was talked about during his court appearances. Adam Kinzinger even said you can't get within six feet of him without smelling him. He is revolting on so many levels.

Dear Leader Trump should be afforded a teeny bit of wiggle room. After all, the job of an authoritarian is way bigly.

WGN was reporting on his Big Ugly Bill and he wasn't wearing a MAGA cap. Instead, it was a Gulf of America cap.

I really hate to break it to everyone, because nobody wants him to die immediately more than I do, but he does not have some active progresseive dementia/brain disease as one would so so desperately hope for. He has the normal decline of an old, lazy man who has never been particularly bright to begin with or tried very hard at much of anything in his life including his health. He may yet develop ALZ or some other dementia, but it’s not going to happen and progress in time to get him out of there any time soon.

That’s where we are. Hope for a massive stroke or an MI. It’s our best bet for quick relief. I now return you all to your fantasies. Carry on.

his handlers will keep dragging his nasty old ass around, kind of a Weekend at Bernie's scenario, only with somebody who isn't technically dead. Vance would probably love to do the 25th Amendment thing, but that requires a majority of the cabinet, and they're not going to go for it - the illusion that that senile old fartbag is actually functioning is the source of their power.

When he's in Florida, keep him outdoors. Pressers, golfing, anything will do.

My friends who are much younger than Trump are not doing well in this heat, even when they're playing golf.

Obama. They both always looked fresh and tailored.

Did anyone see what djt's red cap labeling said -- the one he wore to the S Fla. detention camp? Tried, but all I could make out was "Gulf of America" in large letters -- and a smaller line underneath that may have said, "Yet Another Trump Development." Never got a clear look at it, though. Just wondered, if my take on it was correct, what it meant?
