You hit the nail on the head.
I am seeing more and more Alzheimer’s onset symptoms with Trump lately.
My late husband, who was a impeccable Catholic gentleman all his life, displayed rudeness and inconsideration, once his mind was depleted by “the Big A.”
He berated his caregivers (such wonderful ladies), stole and ate their lunches, deliberately hid their belongings, etc Just like a Junior High pest.
He also had mean nicknames for them. They, being professionals, understood and forgave.
I made a thousand apologies.
Melania had better keep an eye out. Just sayin’.
