Donald Trump reveals he’s so far gone, he can’t even fake it anymore
What’s wrong with Donald Trump? Why have his physical health and cognitive abilities been failing over the past months? Why is it getting harder for him to walk, move, speak, or come up with a coherent sentence? Also, why is he behaving like he doesn’t care if he wins the election, or like he doesn’t understand what it takes to win?
These issues were all crystallized in one bizarre moment today, when Donald Trump held a public event to promote how well his pandemic business loans are supposedly going. While one of Trump’s own invited guests was speaking, Trump began playing around on his phone. No, really:

Donald Trump is clearly too far gone cognitively to understand that he can’t do something like that while the cameras are on him, or he’s so far gone psychologically that he’s trying to signal how badly he doesn’t want to be president anymore. Either way, Trump has reached the point of decline where he can’t even fake it.
