Pelosi says Trump has ‘cognitive disorders’

  1. I mean… anybody who has both been paying attention and also not lying to themselves knows that.

    **Exhibit A** – Trump let slip that he’s passed multiple cognitive tests recently with flying colors. He seems to be entirely unaware that it’s a really really bad sign if you are needing to take those tests in the first place. This past week I had to take one of those tests, actually. You know why? Because they thought I had had a stroke. (rough week!)

    **Exhibit B** – Increasing slurred speech, word subsitution, random ‘glitches’ where he’s talking about something, makes a series of nonsense sounds, and then jarringly switches to a different subject. [This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuI5vWfaGec&ab_channel=MeidasTouch) is two months old, and it has continued.

    **Exhibit C** – an increasing tendency to mix up events, such as him seeming to be fully convinced at one point in a rally that he was running against Obama instead of Biden. Mixing up the names of his daughters, world leaders, wives.

    **Exhibit D** – Trump’s bizarre forward leaning posture, and physical tics. [This has been commented on many times](https://www.salon.com/2020/10/22/president-trumps-body-tics-and-forward-leaning-posture-raise-concerns-expert_partner/) but is a common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Dementia, or movement disorders of the basal ganglia. My grandmother had the exact same thing while she could still walk. I was very young, and I asked my parents why grandma walked like that. They dismissed it, but she ultimately died many years later of Alzheimer’s.

    **Exhibits E through Z2** – Just listen to this man talk for five minutes. Doesn’t matter if it’s a rally, and interview, a court deposition… Just listen to him talk. You’re going to become aware that there’s something deeply wrong.

  2. Screw that, don’t give him the out of claiming mental decline as a defense or excuse from punishment. Stick his orange ass in ADX Florence and be done with it. The USSS can watch him just fine through bars.

    Edit: a word

  3. Trump will respond by engaging in more stochastic terrorism of the kind that almost got Paul Pelosi murdered.

  4. This is the thing the Republicans never learn. When they erode a norm, or create some new calamy, their adversaries aren’t going to fight back with Marquess of Queensbury rules. **Now ageism is going to just be a normal thing** to smear people who bumble from time to time or have white in their hair, **forever**.

  5. It’s obvious to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention. Unfortunately, his supporters are actively denying that there’s anything wrong with him, and screeching about Biden’s occasional stutter.

  6. Well, if you call crazy a cognitive disorder then you’re absolutely correct ✅.

  7. “Looks like Nikki’s just salty about losing Vermont yesterday. My brain works very bigly.” /s

  8. “Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible

    Donald Trump, July 2016

  9. So so much sharper & smarter than Trump and SIX YEARS his senior. She would wipe the floor with him in a debate.

  10. I don’t think the cogs even engage anymore – just spinning wildly.

  11. Shitting yourself uncontrollably is a sign of late stage dementia. Maybe that’s why he forgets what he’s saying and starts to “beep, boop” and lose his train of thought.

  12. Trump: The democrats, they’re hiding poupons, grocery store mustard poupons

    Aide: Mr. President, are you trying to say that you popped your pants?

    Trump: Just check Hunter Bidens laptop and you’ll find Benghazi with Nikki Haley, very displorable

    Aide: Yeah, we’ve got another Code Brown

  13. He’s a diagnosable sociopath with cognitive disorders. Sounds presidential to me.

  14. When Trump hears about this he’s really going to give Nikki Haley a piece of what’s left of his mind.

  15. Nan, I agree and I don’t think you have cognitive problems yet but maybe you should think about this being your last election.

  16. I think an entire campaign against Trump could be successful if all they did was post, verbatim transcripts of his speeches.

  17. she’s too polite to call it what it is…

    TFG’s a fookin’ idiot!

  18. Hmmmm, how about you treat him like he treats everyone else? Don’t pussyfoot around this. He’s been drifting downhill for a while and now he’s two shades from being put in a home. Not physically, mentally, morally, or spiritually (if that’s your thing) capable of being the president, or a greeter at Walmart (who are generally lovely people and not hateful shrews). If he gets in he’ll need to be changed three times a day, fed apple sauce with a soft spoon, have his screen taken away from him so he can focus, and receive his presidential briefings through cartoons and crayon drawings. We ain’t got time for that.

  19. Trump’s father had Alzheimer’s disease by his early 80’s. Given his constant confusion, incoherence, refusal to participate in debates, and family history, there is certainly good reason to question how much he has deteriorated.

  20. He’s definitely being medicated…. Probably using meth like his often quoted idol Hitler.

  21. Wait isn’t Nancy Pelosi that woman that Trump is fighting against in the Republican primaries? /s

  22. It’s going to be a fun year watching these dinosaurs argue over who is more demented. Reminds of when my grandparents were still alive.

  23. He’s gonna yell at Nikki Hailey for saying this!

  24. Have we been reduced to arguing which party’s geriatrics are more senile?

  25. Does anyone know why he repeats the same words over and over again? That some cognitive disorder or is he just fucking dumb?

  26. His cognitive disorders have been evident for a long while. His competency is what concerns me.

  27. So do 90% of the old farts in congress, the place closely resembles an old people’s home.

  28. Not a fan of Trump, but that’s one old pot calling the kettle black.

  29. Mrs Pelosi, everyone knows he’s ‘unfit’. All he has to do is bring the votes.

    *with the best medical care in the world republican party will keep him alive*

  30. She’s not wrong but she’s also the last person who gets to speak authoritatively about it, considering it was her daughter who wheeled Dianne Feinstein around for her extended Weekend at Bernie’s tour of the senate. She was also the one who had the gall to call it un-feminist for us to want Feinstein to resign for her own health and safety. You can’t have it both ways. Either a dementia-riddled senior should be allowed to be in office, or they shouldn’t, and their party designation doesn’t change that equation.
