So why hasn't anyone ever seen Trump's supposed dementia?

Like anyone else, politicians do get old, and when they do, their age frequently becomes obvious in public.
One example is House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, who has repeatedly slurred her speech and spoken gibberish, both of which point to declining mental capabilities.
Politicians also get life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer. Whether or not you like John McCain, his brain cancer was the likely culprit for his inability to speak clearly during his questioning of James Comey last month, something most people can look upon with compassion.
Then there are politicians who try to hide that there are any health problems, such as Hillary Clinton, who has had massive coughing attacks in public, was seen with an odd red spot on her tongue, required a stool to lean on during her presidential campaign debate with Trump, has had apparent seizures during press gaggles that she attempted to laugh off, struggled to climb stairs, and has collapsed repeatedly in public. She's never been straight with the public about what her health concerns may be, but it's pretty obvious something is not working.
Do we ever see any evidence of failing faculties like that with Donald Trump? His own physician gave him a clean bill of health, and all we have seen is an "on" political leader, always crisply dressed and in full command of his faculties. That he sometimes says things that aren't tactful is part of his extraverted personality. He's not a sneaky, passive-aggressive type. What it isn't is evidence of mental instability.
If psychiatrists want to ruin their professional reputations by saying Trump is mad, and Michael Wolff wants to make up stuff to sell books, fine. We will believe that Trump is crazy when we see it.

That’s not dementia.
That’s psychosis.

So if Trump can’t help but repeat stories every ten minutes in private. Wouldn’t he also do It in Cabinet meetings. Long speeches..etc...

From up Canada way I have never seen such a concerted and planned campaign to remove a president. Also the leftist corrupt media in Canada are the same. With the democratic system of the ballot in place, it surely should be left to the American people to decide whether a president continues. This by ballot.
Using Occam's razor (William of Occam, philosopher). The shortest direct analysis is often the best way - given confusion, contradiction, and theories. I:E. Donald Trump is the President period.
I would describe the MSM in this matter, as being like a burst of flatulence. Very unpleasant and almost unbearable in a crowded room. If the President have hold steady at the helm of state, this nasty smell should dissipate. It adds to his already tough job only negative effects. There is nothing positive about their so- called reporting.

Scarry suggests placing a genuinely impaired elderly person on a stage and comparing him to Trump to see the contrast. Wasn't that the 2016 Presidential debates?

There is nothing positive about their so- called reporting.I can think of one positive thing about such flatulence.
A golden opportunity for a chap who has a zippo lighter and a flame retardant suit.
