    Just listen to how he speaks in just the last year alone. There is something drastically different going on inside his mind. My grandmother passed away in 2008 of a stroke before that happened. She was very lively with a voice that could easily fill a room. Towards the end of her life she would slur words talk in a whisper and go on long rambles about nothing or things that happened years or decade ago. I see the same thing happening with Trump now.

    considering his decades of cocaine and adderal abuse that led to fecal incontinence, i would say yes. and his obsession with orange concealer on his face.

    He’s said stupid shit all along and the media normalizes it so it’s hard to tell.

    Of course he is.

    And now his cult has democrats’ unsuccessful coverup of biden’s decline to point to whenever democrats say anything about trump. The scare quotes OP put around mental decline are just more denial of the obvious.

    He has been profoundly mentally ill for decades. Fucking hell, I knew this as a kid growing up in NYC in the 80s. I find it difficult to accept how dim so much of the electorate has proven itself.

      Yes, he’s been eat up with NPD, and who knows what else, since forever. He was the laughing stock of America in the 80s, 90s, even 2000s. But his mental decline has been sharp and obvious since 2021 at my reckoning, really falling off a cliff in the past 2 years.

        Yeah he’s had an awful reputation in NYC long before he became a national figure, especially after his public campaign to kill the exonerated five (boys falsely accused of an attack who were convicted and served full sentences before being exonerated as adults).

        He’s always been a proudly and profoundly contemptible man.

      It’s absolutely declined. Listen to interviews with him from the 2000s and it’s a different person.

      He’s still a pompous, narcissistic asshole, but he can form coherent thoughts.

        Been beaten up around here for saying exactly this. My thoughts are the decline ramped up in 2021 or so. Problem is, the media just reports quips and sentences. And when we hear him, it’s the usual meaningless blather. Read a transcript and it gets scary fast.

        Yes hes a different person now, today he would never grab the ass of Rudy Guliani in full drag outfit. Those days are passed (still on YouTube), today he is just longing for those days

    I applauded that decision, but the reality was that despite Biden showing his age, it was clear more often than not that he remained sharp and had a deep knowledge and understanding of both politics and the world. The 82-year-old even managed to leave us with a growing economy, which Trump has since tanked.

    There’s a ton of people on this site who would disagree with this.
