On Saturday, during a campaign speech in Durham, New Hampshire, Donald Trump invoked Vladimir Putin (of all people) as proof that he's being persecuted: "Putin says that Biden's—and this is a quote—politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia, because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy."
Some commentators see this and other Trump assertions about being persecuted as calculated efforts to fuel his base. But what if Trump really thinks he's being persecuted? What if he has a persecution complex? What if he believes his paranoid fantasies?
Trump is not facing nearly the same scrutiny for his age as is Joe Biden, yet Trump should be—especially as to increasing signs of dementia.
Biden is sane. He's getting major bills passed. He's negotiating with world leaders.
But Trump, who has a family history of dementia, is increasingly incoherent and unhinged.
He has confused Biden with Obama so often that he's had to put out a statement that the slips have been intentional. In September, Trump suggested that the way to prevent wildfires in California's forest lands is to keep them damp. Here are his exact words: "They say that there's so much water up north that I want to have the overflow areas go into your forests and dampen your forests, because if you dampen your forests you're not gonna have these forest fires that are burning at levels that nobody's ever seen."
Hello?
He also said that under his administration, shoplifters would be subject to extrajudicial execution: "We will immediately stop all the pillaging and theft. Very simply, if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store."

That would work. Back in the seventies, a very big liquor store in OKC had problems with smash and grab thefts. Built a walkaround above the sales floor. Put employees with shotguns on the walkaround. Shot a couple of theives. Thefts stopped. Of course, back then, theives weren’t a protected species.
I’ve never seen a single sign of ‘dementia’ in Trump.
Newsweek. LOL
“Look! A (fake) squirrel!”
Reich needs to have his developing dementia checked out. The only negotiating Traitorjoe has done is to give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
MSM dares to question Trump's mental capacity? Seriously? There is no end to MSM’s capacity to insult America!
He has confused Biden with Obama so often that he's had to put out a statement that the slips have been intentional.
The idiots don't realize that he is NOT confusing the two but not so subtly recognizing who is actually running the presidency.
Dictators usually seize power in the prime if their adulthood, not at the end of it.
Trump’s “regime” will be a short one regardless of what his intent. Father Time will insure it.
But let’s hope it’s long enough to sit America on the right path again!
Bob’s good for a little chuckle or two now and then.
extrajudicial just means shop owners can defend themselves and their stores.
That’s how it always was. Many will choose not to do it.
I hear countless stories now of store Street Suite closing up because they are subject to constant large scale robberies and no one does anything.
Just heard of a Gap and Victoria’s Secret closing in a shopping center. So common that cats pull up, gang jumps out and takes everything in the front of the store. When one store would be hit they’d call the other and say “they’re coming”.
This is happening everywhere. But blue states won’t allow you to have a gun, much less use it.
Hahaha! Correct!
Newsweek! The newzine publication sold for a dollar and overpriced at that!
lol cars pull up not cats. Maybe cats too at this point.
You win the internet today. Congratulations!
Reich is demented.................
Reich’s intellect and integrity are as big as his height
Little Bobby , there is no need to talk about dementia in Trump, because he shows no signs of suffering from that malady at all. Biden on the other hand shows clear signs of impairment from it.
He’s blinded by his ideology.
He just can see over it....................
1) Trump were in charge.
2) Biden were in charge.
Better:
Stop Talking About Biden's Mental Acuity. Start Talking About the Folks who are Really Running Things.
Hey Reich baby, Trump could out think you whilst he was under sedation. Give it up, loser.
