Trump's obvious neurological decay is the new Big Lie, and the mainstream media needs to stop being complicit. The random garbling we saw and heard from him yesterday was not early stage, it was an advanced degenerative neurological disorder that's beyond disturbing. MSM: don't sugar coat or normalize this - be like Lawrence O'Donnell, who said this last night:
"There's this character named Donald Trump, with orange-colored skin and big hair, who shows up to all these events, sometimes he's asked questions, and words come out of his mouth. But he's not there. His mind ... is gone."
Trump's narrative over the past couple of days has gotten more fantastical than ever. His break from reality is widening due to age, illness, stress, and desperation. And he's freaked out that his time is running out.
He cannot say anything truthful anymore, and rarely even speaks informationally. He vacillates constantly, goes on late night panic-post benders, falls asleep in meetings, and can't hold to a script because he has the attention span of a fruit fly.
More elected officials need to start speaking more loudly: Trump is NOT fit to serve and should NOT continue as president.
I've studied abnormal psychology and human behavior for decades, and if you follow me, you know I have begun tweeting that - right now - there are Trump voters all across America - tons of them - tired of the negativity, bombast, lies, whininess, nonsensical riffs, incompetence, self-centeredness, divisiveness, and especially the corruption, the grift, and the broken promises, who want nothing more to do with him. Many cannot say it openly in their circle yet; but they feel it.
What they're feeling is called Cognitive Dissonance. It's a psychological conflict between their established views and the things they're perceiving.
Humans strive for internal consistency to function effectively in the world. When confronted with conflicting or dissonant information or actions, they experience stress, guilt, or shame, which drives them to resolve the dissonance.
How do they resolve the dissonance? Some will minimize it, some will rationalize it, and some will change behavior and - in this case - their world view. It takes a lot of discomfort to get people to change behavior. How many feel it? How many will change?
A recent stat from a WaPo article claims that 1 out of 5 Trump voters are at risk of either not voting in the midterms or voting Dem. This is the first time I've seen a quantified number on this, but it makes sense.
Another stat is that the % of voters who "strongly support" Trump has absolutely cratered - the last WaPo Ipsos poll has it at 15%.
Cognitive dissonance. Remember that term. I'm going to tweet about it a lot. It's out there, big time.
My observations include that Trump continues to sound terrible and look even worse. He's puffy, lumpy, raspy, craggy, clunky, bulky, blotchy, sweaty, somnambulant, feeble, ungainly, pale, stiff, bandaged, discolored, limp, lumbering, and lopsided.

For criticizing him, Trump opened an investigation into me for “treason.”
I’m not scared by that feckless thug. I’ve decided to call out his corruption louder than ever.
See you at the movies, Mr. President. No need to buy a ticket. We’re making this free for everyone.
🚨 BREAKING: https://t.co/de42LiSKCZ is co-producing UNFIT TOO — the sequel to the 2020 documentary about Donald Trump’s unfitness for office.
The original sent Trump’s White House into meltdown.
Wait until they see the sequel. Coming before the midterms.
Details tomorrow.
The Iranian psychiatrists allegedly advising Iran on dealing with Trump and his disorders have earned their pay and then some. Iran didn't have to bristle at Trump's threats. They knew it's for show. Perhaps the psychiatrists explained his need for grandiosity, so maybe they bristled oppotunistically.
Delusional disorder is a psychosis where the subject has unshakable belief in something untrue. Trump, however, does NOT have delusional disorder, because he knows at some level that his lies are lies. His disorder - malignant narcissism - is far worse and way more dangerous. He cannot see past himself, does not see others as flesh and blood equals, and thus feels entitled to lie because HE is all that matters.
This is fascinating to me. Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill reports that midway through indirect talks to end the war, Tehran’s negotiating team added two senior psychologists to help craft messages to Trump. They were experts in the fields of cognitive impairment and anti-social behavior, and they were added to manage what an official described as "the American President’s psychopathic behavior pattern.” See follow-up tweet.
Enough with the &%#$@ normalization of a madman!
If Trump thought it would benefit him, by satisfying his cravings in the few areas he cares about (money, power, adulation, credibility), there's not a single thing you could name that he WOULDN'T do out of an ethical or moral constraint. Again - he has NO ethical constraints! NONE!
Normalize that!
@OurShallowState What little impulse control he had, is gone. It looks and feels like his desperation is heightened because he is truly now sensing his own mortality.
