    I don't mean that metaphorically. I mean that literally. Some people (many!) have pointed out that if you look at transcripts from interviews of him like ten years ago, it's night and day to what he's like now. And one thing they've pointed out is that he tends to say "out loud" things that you're not supposed to, that may be the REASON why you're where you are doing what you're doing, but not the reason you're supposed to let the public know. Examples:



    I mean... did you watch the interview with ABC News last night? He did not look like a well man. And even if he still has the mannerisms and tone of a salesman that he always had (the saying "believe me" a million times), it gets even worse if you look at transcripts of what he's saying. They really do look like the ramblings of someone in a nursing home.


    Also, he has these obsessions that he keeps circling back to. I have old relatives and they do the same. They'll call up and ask you something and you'll say "no, that was last week" or "no, because...." and they'll say oh, okay. Then the next day it's back and they're calling with the same question. Same with his crazy "illegals" talk.

    Now, I know Sly is going to say "crazy like a fox!" because this takes up airtime and in the meantime, POW, the New Deal has been totally demolished. Maybe. Certainly his aides have figured out they can ride this wave to their own advantage (which is scary, because he's doing the bidding of Steve Bannon and that guy straight from central casting call for "Evil Slimebag", Jason Miller,
    [​IMG]

    who keep filling his speeches with Nazi rhetoric (and Bane quotes)) but I think it's EVEN MORE WORRYING THAN THAT.

    I think I begin to see the secret of his appeal to Mags.

    Carl Bernstein: Nervous Republican officials are questioning President Trump’s ’emotional stability’

    “It is unlike anything that I have seen in 50 years of being a reporter,” said Bernstein, who first made his name by breaking stories on the Watergate scandal while working for the
    Washington Post. “I am hearing from Republicans, and other reporters are as well, that there is open discussion by members of the President of the United States’ own party about his emotional maturity, stability.”

    Trump drew criticism even from media confidantes such as Joe Scarborough this past weekend for his speech at the CIA in which he boasted repeatedly about his inauguration’s crowd size, while at the same time sending out Press Secretary Sean Spicer to deliver an angry news conference whose sole purpose was to defend the size of the Trump inauguration’s crowds.

    Apparently, these actions have been enough to raise red flags from people within his own party about his temperament.

    “People are saying his psyche is driving the news cycle,” said Bernstein. “We are in uncharted territory.”

    Trump has always been a loose cannon. His mouth is his weapon.

    What concerns me about Trump is his hearing is not as good as it used to be. He does not listen to anyone anymore.

    One of the first things a businessman learns is to do is listen before talking. Learn as much as you can before you make a decision. The Japanese are famous for taking forever to make a decision, and then only after many group discussions to find the best answer. Trump is a one man show.

    Drumpf is not only egotistical, his interview last night shows that he is on the whole insecure to a frightening level. He's getting asked questions by David Muir, and not only is he evasive in answering any of them with actual answers, his responses make little sense. He can't accept when he is wrong. He again creates alternative facts to try and make it look like he knows What he is talking about, but its obvious he doesn't.

    Does this mean Tiffany Trump is dead? She is registered to vote in both NY & PA.

    Which is perfectly legal as long as she only votes in one state.

    Reagan was losing it during his second term.

    Remember: he is the oldest president we've ever elected, and TRUMP'S OWN (also crazy) DOCTOR brings up "pre-senile dementia" talking about Reagan, who USED to be the oldest.

    I mean, do you know many 70 year olds? Let alone 70-year-olds who are incredibly out of shape and live on fast food by their own admission.

    I know plenty of 70+ year olds.

    My neighbor is 75 and rides his bike 40 miles a few days a week.

    Trump just ran a grueling national campaign, and didn't collapse getting on planes, going up stairs, or getting into limousines.

    Again, this subject is one of the most stupid threads in the history of this site.

    Why did that not surprise me?

    So, not like Trump then. (The fact that Kellyanne Conway was not on the same floor as him was seen by aides as being a serious demotion because, as they put it, "he's not climbing the stairs.")

    Cleared that high bar! Newsflash: Reagan didn't topple over either.

    Bigly!
