Go back to Biden. I don't care. Yes, Biden had people caretaking him at the end and they kept funding a genocide in Gaza. Although his cabinet wasn't nearly as compromised and unqualified to do the job that Trump's cabinet is and it's showing all over the place. They also had the common sense to tell Bibi to kick rocks when it came to Iran.
What's clear by now is that we can't leave this up to the president's cabinet. They are ill equipped and will just try and use the president's altered state to achieve their own sordid plans. We need real structural changes on several levels in this country. Whatever confidence anybody had in "the system/our government", is gone by now.

You could have said you support transparency and physical and mental health requirements without bringing up Biden. But I guess it’s not possible for you to do so. You bring up Biden constantly every time there is anything negative about Trump. It’s like you think there’s a score to settle. FWIW - the Democratic Party stepped in and convinced Joe to drop out of the race. It wasn’t ideal - it was too late to have primaries - but they at least did something. The current GOP just hides like cowards.
Reagan also suffered from dementia - even worse than Trump - and it was hidden. We don’t need to rehash every prior president when discussing this one. This one is worse than all the others combined, he can be discussed on his own.

That is the ramblings of a man without congnition. At his worst, Biden was never that incoherent. Biden had a bad moment under pressure during a debate, but this is without pressure. I think Trump’s decline is significant since the debate.I don’t know how the press keeps ignoring this.

And Trump's baseline for that debate was pretty low. The dude honestly believed people were eating people's pets.

It was one of Donald Trump’s many unbelievable moments. A Japanese reporter asked him on Thursday in the Oval Office, during a visit by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, why Washington hadn’t warned its allies about the attack on Iran. “Who knows better about surprise than Japan?” Trump joked, “Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
The remark seemed to make Takaichi uncomfortable, broke the rules of diplomatic decorum, and shattered decades of avoiding, in the name of bilateral harmony, the issue of the attack in 1941 that killed more than 2,400 people and led the United States into World War II.
It also created a space-time paradox: no one could have warned Trump because he was still five years away from being born.
On Monday, the president contradicted himself no fewer than five times regarding his plans in Iran, after weeks of simultaneously insisting that the United States had won the war and that much remained to be done. Hours later, he posted several incomprehensible messages on his Truth Social platform, retweeting flattering news stories about himself published months earlier.
And not too long ago, there was the letter to the prime minister of Norway criticizing him for not awarding him the Nobel Prize, even though it wasn’t within the monarch’s power to do so; there was also the speech full of insults directed at his allies in Davos; and that news conference in which he launched into a monologue about a mental institution in Queens and his mother’s belief that he would one day be a baseball star.
For his supporters and for members of his Administration, all this only proves the unorthodox personality of the president, as well as the unpredictable and approachable style of someone who has no regard for the conventions of traditional politics and who has created around his own figure an almost cult-like movement that is unprecedented in the recent history of the United States.
According to Johns Hopkins University psychologist John Gartner, these examples add to the growing evidence that the U.S. president is not well.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll released in late February revealed that 61% of Americans believe Trump has become “erratic with age” (including 30% of Republicans). It also showed a decline in the number of people who believe Trump is “mentally sharp and capable of handling challenges,” from 54% in September 2023 to 45% today.
Gartner has been warning about Trump’s “mental disorders” for a decade, and he has no doubt about them. “He is a malignant narcissist,” the psychologist explained in a video conference with EL PAÍS. He explained that this is an illness described by Holocaust survivor Erich Fromm to diagnose Hitler, and that, according to the doctor, it has these components:
“Narcissism, of course—many politicians have it—antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy) —they lie, deceive, harm others, violate the rules, and feel no remorse—paranoia—they constantly feel attacked and, therefore, seek revenge—grandiosity—their desire is to dominate and be above everyone else; ‘I am the best president in history,’ ‘nobody knows more than me about tariffs,’ etc.—and sadism: they enjoy chaos, destruction, and humiliation.”.................

The debate over Trump’s mental health: ‘Malignant narcissist ’ or ‘superhuman president’?
While some warn of the danger of having someone suffering from ‘cognitive decline’ in the White House, his inner circle attributes his outbursts to his iconoclastic personality

President Donald Trump used his Cabinet meeting on Thursday to boast about his cognitive test results and hurl insults at California Governor Gavin Newsom.
During the televised briefing, which ran for over 90 minutes, Trump said that Newsom took himself out of the running for president when he revealed his “mental disability.”
“You don't want to have a person with a mental disability being your president,” the 79-year-old president said. “And Gavin Newsom said he can't read a speech, he’s actually a very stupid person.”
The governor, an outspoken Trump critic who is seen as a contender for the Democratic nomination in 2028, has said he was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child.
"I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test,” Trump added. “I took it three times. It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. It wasn't hard for me.”
The Cabinet meeting comes as the DHS shutdown has now dragged on for 40 days, resulting in lengthy lines and missed flights at airports. Trump blamed congressional Democrats for the funding lapse, accusing them of trying to punish the American people and help criminals.
He also declared victory over Iran amidst the ongoing war, claiming the country’s regime has been “decisively defeated.” He added that Iran now has an opportunity to negotiate a peace deal.............

While I'm fairly sure he'll find some excuse not to go, part of me believes he just might. He'll wander aimlessly, complain about no McDonald's, babble complete gibberish then claim victory because reality has no meaning to him.
