Donald Trump has meltdown about being “cognitively impaired”

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump surely knows there’s something wrong with him cognitively, given how often he gets confused in public. He’s also surely seen some of the belated but growing media coverage about his worsening cognitive issues. Now Trump is getting defensive about it.

During a rally speech today, Trump began defensively melting down about the attention that his cognitive issues are getting: “I’ll say [unintelligible noise], they’ll say he’s cognitively impaired! No, I’ll let you know when I will be someday. We all will be someday. I’ll be the first to let you know.” Trump then went on to claim that because he’s doing three to four rallies a day, he can’t possibly be cognitively impaired. What’s surreal is that he’s not doing three to four rallies a day, but he seems to think he is.

Trump just keeps unraveling further. He’s been spending his rally speeches having cognitively impaired meltdowns about sharks and cannibals, and now he’s spending his rally speeches having cognitively impaired meltdowns about how he’s not cognitively impaired. How much longer before he takes his pants off during a rally speech? It’s not a joke at this point.
