How can MAGA not see what everyone else sees?
When giving his speech at Davos, Trump mixed up Greenland with Iceland – four times. When the president speaks elsewhere, he repeats words over and over, with dramatic enunciations, as if trying to grasp their meaning. The guy who still refers to his predecessor as “sleepy Joe” continues to doze-off during meetings. When asked about the bruising on his hand, the Toddler-in-Chief said it was because he takes “the big aspirin.”
You or I might’ve said, “I take a higher dose of aspirin,” but the leader of the free world reminds us of the child who adorably says, “I drink from the big cup!”
Looking and listening to Trump, one can’t possibly assess this as a man at the height of his mental powers, despite Mz. Leavitt’s angry insistence that our eyes and ears betray us.
In response to such reports, Trump, per usual, threw a tantrum, saying they were “seditious, perhaps even treasonous.”
But contra him and his cult, we have every right to ask about the health of our officials. In fact, in a country where Mitch McConnell falls down every other press conference, where stroke survivor John Fetterman was elected in a landslide, and where the former president isn’t even seen anymore, citizens have a duty to ask these questions.
Indeed, we should warn against the day in which candidates run their campaigns from the cold, sterile room of a hospice.
“Vote for me. If you don’t like what I’m doing, I’ll likely be dead before I finish my first year in office, and then you can elect someone else.”
It might work!
Anyway, regarding that high dose aspirin, a friend in the medical field thought it unlikely that Trump would be taking such a high dose unless he had suffered a stroke. Which is exactly what Professor Bruce Davidson of Washington State University thinks. Citing Trump’s habit of cradling of his right hand in his left hand, his unusual sleepiness, and his garbled speech, Davidson said the stroke likely happened sometime within the last six months, on the left side of his brain.
A stroke is one possible explanation for Trump’s erratic behavior. There’s also his family history of Alzheimer’s. Trump’s father, Fred, was 86 when he was diagnosed – a rather late year in life, admittedly, which could give Trump a few more years. But then again, it’s said that Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer’s in his last couple years in office.
In any case, nowadays, I find it nearly impossible to get through any of Trump’s speeches. Between reading from the teleprompter and rambling incoherently, the President of the United States does his obsessive self-fellating.
It hasn’t been amusing in a long time.
Lines like “never seen anything like it before” and “the best numbers in the history of our country” should be entertained only by nurses working in a retirement center. Instead of wandering around hallways free of any dangerous furniture, Trump is on the world stage, dishonoring the greatest country on earth.
