Not remembering a woman who died a few weeks before didn’t seem terrible to me. If it is true they had just watched a short tribute to her minutes before, then that is something. Shaking hands when no one is there and facing a blank screen and getting lost outside the White House... Also the odd and poorly done special effects from supposedly encounters with the media last year seem especially hinky.
My Dermatologist (a great guy and a huge Trump supporter) told me that a Neurosurgeon friend of his told him that The Big Guy shows the classic effects/symptoms of someone who’s had the brain operation that he had some time ago.
“Not remembering a woman who died a few weeks before didn’t seem terrible to me.”
The details matter—this was not just a random woman.
Your comment reminded me of the weird special effects blunders early on in his residency. Particularly, the one were he was allegedly at a press gaggle on the WH lawn, and there was the funky thing with the microphone being an obvious camera artifact. There seems to be less of that kind of stuff now that the crews working him have gotten more experienced, but the multiple occasions of him reaching out to shake hands with nobody are really obvious clues that there is something really, really hinky going on. At this point, I'm pretty sure its not dementia. That's just an excuse so that we we don't question the 'reality' we are being presented with.
The dementia claims are just there to make us ignore the rest of what is going on around this clown.
Truman show anyone? It's a different scenario, but something weird is going on.
