“You know, we’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When someone’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people,”

“Republicans, judges, and justices,” Trump began. “They always want to show that they’re independent.”

“‘I don’t care if Trump appointed me, I don’t care, if it doesn’t make any difference to me. I’m voting against him!” Trump said, visibly annoyed.

“Cause they want to show their independence, you know, stupid people,” complained Trump.

      Like he may be cracking psychology and not like dementia or something with age or whatever.

      I don’t think I agree. I think people with advanced dementia can come in and out of lucidity and you end up with a little statement that sounds insightful and with his inhibitions on the floor it almost sounded genuine, but it’s in there with a soup of confusion and he kind of “weaves” in and out of fantasy.

        But he has always done that. It is not dementia it is his infinite stupidity doing that.

          Idk. My grandfather passed from Alzheimer’s and looking back on it. He never really called me by name even when I was a kid. I’m not sure he was always 100% exactly sure who I was, but knew I was cool. Looking back he may have been coping with some memory issues for a long time and it just got untenable.

          But yeah, he’s definitely been like this for a while now. This whole second term kinda. All the nicknames and stuff, might account for some subject changes.

      If you have a hard time watching him, speed it up to 2x like I did, and you’ll see what I mean. He sounds healthier than he looks.

        Sounding healthy when you are at 2x speed does not sound terribly healthy to me.
