Donald Trump is having by far his most senile day yet
Donald Trump spent two years mostly in hiding, as his handlers tried to keep the public from seeing that he was in severe cognitive decline. But he’d surface occasionally, and if you paid attention, you could see his senility getting worse throughout 2021 and 2022.
Then Trump started getting indicted in 2023, and accordingly, he felt pressure to start putting himself out there more often. That’s when everyone started getting to see what those who had been paying close attention knew all along: Trump was senile. The kicker is that as Trump’s criminal and civil trials have gotten worse for him, his cognitive collapse has been accelerating. Now that his former allies are flipping on him left and right, Trump is in full scale collapse today.
One of the difficulties in covering Trump’s increasingly senile behavior is that much of it is too over the top to even seem believable. It sounds like parody. “Wait, he didn’t really say something that senile, did he?” Well yes he did.
So far today Donald Trump has claimed he was never indicted to begin with, said he’s fine with going to prison because Nelson Mandela also went to prison (wait, how can Trump go to prison if he’s never been indicted?), gone on a childlike senile tangent about how a two letter word is spelled, and openly fantasized about punching President Biden in the nose so that everyone can see that Biden has a fake plastic nose.
This is plainly, plainly, plainly senile behavior. It’s at a point where the mainstream media (on the left and right) is committing journalistic malpractice by refusing to acknowledge the obvious. And no, Trump isn’t “faking senility” to keep himself out of prison. There is something obviously wrong with him. And this kind of senility doesn’t keep you out of prison anyway.
Donald Trump is simply senile. It was obvious two years ago. It’s become even more obvious in 2023. As of now it’s painfully obvious – and getting rapidly worse. If the media isn’t willing to talk about Trump’s senility today, don’t worry, he’ll be even more blatantly senile by next week. The media is going to have to state the obvious sooner or later.
