Donald Trump’s frequently bizarre public appearances, which this month have seen the president claim, wrongly, that his uncle knew the Unabomber and rant unprompted about windmills on his recent trip to the UK, have once again raised questions about his mental acuity, experts say.
For more than a year Trump, 79, has exhibited odd behavior at campaign events, in interviews, in his spontaneous remarks and at press conferences. The president repeatedly drifts off topic, including during a cabinet meeting this month when he spent 15 minutes talking about decorating, and appears to misremember simple facts about his government and his life.
Over the weekend Trump, during a meeting with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, abruptly switched from discussing immigration to saying this: “The other thing I say to Europe: we’ve – we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery.”
Trump proceeded to speak, non-stop and unprompted, for two minutes about windmills, claiming without evidence that they drive whales “loco” and that wind energy “kills the birds” (the proportion of birds killed by turbines is tiny compared with the amount killed by domestic cats and from flying into power lines).
Who exactly is still in doubt about his dementia?
Read this earlier and loved it. Quality reading. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It’s just like Stephen Colbert said back in the day: “facts have a well-known liberal bias”
He’s had the same issues since before 2016… Why is the media all of a sudden freaking out about it now? He has always been a delusional and forgetful person, the media’s been ignoring it until now

He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy.
First time in a while that a comment has made me laugh out loud 😂
“The Guardian is a left-wing mouthpiece that should be embarrassed to pass off deranged resistance leftists as ‘experts’. Anyone pathetic enough to defend Biden’s mental state – while being labeled as unethical by their peers – has zero credibility. President Trump’s mental sharpness is second to none and he is working around the clock to secure amazing deals for the American people,” said White House spokesperson Liz Huston.

Yeah, feels like Trump’s being set up for the fall. Never forget the rest of the government (populace) complicit in this government. An insulting minority of politicians even put up the slightest resistance.
I just watched comedian Mark Normand do a bit in Australia making multiple jokes about Joe Biden’s mental status. I’m thinking who the hell is even still talking about Biden, let alone in Australia?
The Project getting axed was the single good thing that Channel 10 has done since selling out to America.
Fucking Zionist, MAGA kissing cucks, the lot of them.
Right, as an Australian in Australia the majority of us don’t care about American and your presidential squabbles.
We only care when our government place little brother and tries to copy America
Anyone that wants him out has no idea how fucked up Vance (Yarvin jr) is.
Just like the MAGAts that follow him.
As if reporting on it for the 60th time will surprise anyone or cause change.
He probably forgot he raped all those children too right
We didn’t!
Removed by mod
wait, is any of this new? couldn’t tell the difference
No, it’s not.
It’s funny how if Biden forgot the middle name of a person he met in 1980, everyone called for impeachment.
It should be no surprise that Trump can fade out in the middle of a sentence and the same people keep their mouth shut.
Pretty soon Trump will be older than Biden was when Trump said he was too old to govern. Think he’ll step down then?
"I got rid of – just one I got rid of the other night, you buy a house, they have a faucet in the house, Joe, and the faucet the water doesn’t come out. They have a restrictor. You can’t – in areas where you have so much water they don’t know what to do with it. Uh, you have a shower head the shower doesn’t uh, the shower doesn’t, you think it’s not working. It is working. The water’s dripping out and that’s no good for me. I like this hair lace and [sic] – I like that hair nice and wet. Takes you – you have to stand in the shower for 20 minutes before you get the soap out of your hair. And I put a, a thing – and it sounds funny but it’s really not. It’s horrible. And uh, when you wash your hands, you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You’re washing whole – water barely comes out it’s ridi – this was done by crazy people. And I wor – wrote it all off and got it approved in Congress so that they can’t just change it.”
I think we have another strong contender to be the new Having Nuclear rant.
Utter perplexity at the workings of flow restrictors (which wouldn’t prevent water from coming out of taps). The man’s a blithering nitwit.
