Actually listening to him speak for several minutes is horrifying. Reading excepts and watching short clips just doesn't get the level of dementia across. Seen the video where Japan's new prime minister has to lead him around? Trump's walking around, utterly glazed, doing the thorazine shuffle. If a cop saw me walking down the street like that, confronted me and found me in Trump's condition, I'd either be in jail for public intoxication or checked into the ER.

Really hard to watch without screaming, "Why isn't every media outlet on the planet hammering this home! The most powerful man in the world should be in a care home!"

First administration was bad enough, but he's so, so very far worse off now.

I ended up seeing stuff from his first term and before. The content hasn't changed; he's still an old racist bigot. But the way he talks has drastically slowed. He rambles more than he used to. He's not well. Biden was too old for office. This guy is worse.

Having seen (recently) a close relative succumb to dementia. All this hits home. Very on the nose.
