World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I know we've joked about it for awhile now, but seriously, this is dementia right?
Yes, he's sundowning and smiling more, but sometimes has clarity. Unfortunately, he has nazis in his cabinet that are also evil, but young.
I feel like people throw the dementia diagnosis at every stupid thing he says, when it's probably just a lifelong habit of being a belligerent dumbass with money.
Look at videos of him speaking in the 80s, after 9/11, during his 2016 campaign, and now. He's always been a narcissistic prick, and was showing clear signs of decline in 2016 to 2020, but it's worse now.
We don't have to guess about these things, we have documented records of him showing his best face throughout the years, and it's clear he's becoming less articulate and having less control (or desire to control) what he says. The latter may certainly be choice, but the former doesn't really look like it. This isn't a matter of him using simpler language to appeal to his audience, this is him having less capability to form coherent thoughts.
Yeah as a helper to 3 different elderly dementia relatives, it varies day to day and sleep schedules affect it. Also sunlight and mornings seemed to be the most coherent/aware times in general. Sun-downing is very much a thing and made evenings some of the hardest moments.
Why not both?
Joked?
It's been obvious dementia to those familiar with it since like 2015, probably before. It's now late stage dementia.
He's not quite there yet ... but he's coming close to the edge.

You thought it was a joke? Wow.
The signs have been there!
