40. He's not faking.

That's one thing we don't need to worry about, imnsho. Nobody could convincingly fake ALL of this. Furthermore, I don't think he's ever really been faking, in either of his presidential terms. (Before that, or at least before he started that nonsense over Obama's birth certificate, the dude was not on my radar, so I have nothing to base an opinion on there.)

During his first term, I can remember many times when people were trying to make sense of his words and actions and theorizing that he was playing some kind of 3 dimensional chess, that he had some kind of master plan underlying all his actions. I said that was horsefeathers at the time, and I still stand by that.

It's true that he was not as dangerously incompetent in 2017 as he is now, but he has always exhibited very obvious symptoms of having at least a couple of severe personality disorders (narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder) in addition to not being exceptionally bright (to put it as gently as possible, lol). Imo, there was nothing he did during the first term that could not be explained by those factors, which had already led him to make a lot of bad decisions, mistreat others, etc., since long before he was president. Once he was potus, all of that was on full public display and subject to media scrutiny in ways it never had been before. A lot of eyebrows were raised on many occasions, but he was still glib enough and mentally agile enough to keep the wool pulled over the eyes of his base. Even after J6, he still had many diehard supporters who continued to believe he could do no wrong.

During the 4 years he was out of the WH, he exhibited more and more signs that aging was taking a toll (such as repeatedly falling asleep during his trial for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels), but he wasn't in the spotlight nearly to the extent he was as potus, so he...got by.

Once he took office and was back in the full glare of the spotlight, he began to exhibit problematic behavior that many people refused or chose not to take seriously. The signs of dementia gradually began to take hold in a way that noticeably pointed to the fact that he wasn't just getting older but was losing his cognitive abilities in a way that was very concerning.

Those who did not want to recognize those signs continued to deny them, but reality does not dance to the tune of those who want to ignore it. He has continued to get worse and worse and will continue to do so, because that's how dementia works. To paraphrase Dr. John Gartner, the Trump you see before you right now is the best one you will ever see, because he will, inexorably, continue to decline. We're already seeing what can happen when you combine the grandiosity of NPD and the sadism and lack of scruples of APD with the disinhibition and increasing childishness of dementia, and it's pretty damned terrifying. The guy is not faking anything. He is genuinely confused, disoriented, and irrational.

I am grateful to these doctors for issuing that statement and hope and pray it will have some impact. I don't yet know if there as been any response whatsoever, as I didn't get online until this afternoon, and I'm not holding my breath. But I am going to hope, at least a little bit, because that's the only thing I have left.

Sorry, this has gotten so long. I know I tend to be verbose at times and hope I haven't put anyone to sleep.
