At least we are seeing some in corporate media also cover this issue. But Trump's very dangerous mental decline deserves FAR more coverage. And we are still a year from election meaning he will become much worse by next November. You can expect Trump to REFUSE to debate Biden bc he doesn't want this exposed on national TV!

Please don't buy Trump's claim he meant to say Obama. He did not. That is a cover story that he and his handlers came up with to hide a Trump's increasing confused state.

Hi Dean! Sioux Falls is in South Dakota. I believe you said North Dakota in your article here.

Oh no I have the Trump mental decline too!! Thanks for flagging that- I fixed it!

Oh no Dean! Still wrong!

Sioux City IS in Iowa! Sioux Falls is in South Dakota. Trump was in Iowa, but thought he was in an entirely different city in South Dakota. Neither of these places are in North Dakota.

I am a “devil is in the details” kind of person.” Plus, back in my much younger years, I drive semi-trucks coast-to-coast. I have been to all these places with confusing names.

You rock, & definitely have no cognitive disfunction.

Be well & keep speaking out!

I wondered whether "this is a personal struggling cognitively." also qualified😎.

Cheers.

Even without a mental decline, his antisocial metastatic narcissism has been a threat to us.

Trump has been deluded for many years. But it does seem his confusion grows daily. The longer he is allowed to stand behind a podium, the more races he believes he won!

He threatened people protesting him during the 2015 campaign, but now openly boasts about killing off Democrats! And vulnerable people! I remember seeing a trump supporter at a campaign sucker-punch a young black man who stood to protest. Trump was pleased. On other occasions he suggested his tyrants punch objectors in the face and he would cover their legal bills.

Trump is a threat to the US and an existential threat, but no matter how many terrorist threats and coup incitements he makes, nothing is done to him. What the hell is going on?

Too bad there’s nothing to be done about the cognitive decline of his followers.

Miller and others will use Cognitive Decline Trump to further their own causes, much like Reagan's people did with him.

Trump could become reduced to a gelatinous mound of babbling pudding and not lose any supporters.

MAGA: you'll be fine, man. Walk it off.

MAGA cult members are delusional for sure! Giving unconditional support to a convicted criminal is just plain sick !

Trump 2.0: I'm hereby commanding my Military Generals to bomb Canada.

Generals: CANADA, Sir??

My entire extended family lives in Ottawa! Actually now that Justin Trudeau is divorced, maybe he has a reason to bomb Canada. The trophy wife took a shine to him when he visited the WH.

There was a guy heckling me on Xwitter yesterday about how you can’t understand Joe Biden, the usual drivel they try to pass as owning the libs. So I posted a picture that had trumps response to a question by Fox News’

Bartiromo on Ukraine and it was pure nonsense, and I asked the heckler what part of this makes sense? It wasn’t even 5 mins and I was blocked. They’re idiocy is only outmatched by their blind faith.

It is apparent to me that trump's mental decline is accelerating, and thus by this time next year, he will have proven himself totally incapable of performing even simple sentences without obvious mistakes. And his trials will be even more reason to judge him incapable of simple choices.

I am more concerned about Speaker Mike Johnson, who IS in power, in fact second in line to the top office in the world. Johnson is a full on unchristian fascist who has already proven himself too religiously programmed to hold any office, let alone Speaker of the House.

It's strangely coincidental, that both Johnson and Donald Trump were born on the same days as total lunar eclipses. And both slipped into power without any real effort on their part, like they were destined to rule or be decisive decision makers. Lunar eclipses happen twice a year, but total lunar eclipses happen only about once every other year. One day out of 730 days. h-m-m-m.

Kudos Deano on a cognitively resonant assessment of Cannibal Lectern's ability to [*Osterize] the English language as he hovers ever so tiltingly over the dais he commands, at every Nazi rally he demands!

May his FAT Fascist ass rest in pieces; 18 to be specific, thus making it easier for the UnderFaker to 'putt' him into each and every hole at BedBugminster, insuring a good 'Lie' before he culminates with his final score of '45' under par as the Bestest and Bigliest Resident of the United Mistakes of America!

Reminds of a morning's round in the neuro ICU in the early 2000s, when a patient was being assessed for level of consciousness. If he passed the test, he'd graduate from the ICU.

He answered all the questions correctly and fully until the final one: "Who's the President?" "Dwight David Eisenhower,"he replied. ( He didn't graduate.)

I don’t really care whether he’s mentally competent or not. Actually, I’d rather he not be. The ads will write themselves and he’ll be easier to beat. The Republican Party is dead anyway. Having a senile leader makes no difference.

I think I further confused you, Dean. Sioux City IS in Iowa. Sioux Falls is in South Dakota. Neither are in North Dakota. Very confusing, I know. I loved the article, Dean, and I concur. Trump is an existential threat.

I have to point out that Sioux Falls is in South Dakota, and Sioux City is about an hour south in Iowa. Many more of your points seem border line embellishment, that one is just plain wrong
