President Trump, on the South Lawn, says Ukraine "should investigate the Bidens." "I would say President Zelenskiy, if it was me, I would recommend they start an investigation into the Bidens.”
"Likewise," he added, "China should investigate the Bidens."

My god he really doesn't grasp this does he?
I went down the rabbit hole on Twitter a few days ago and was reading through threads detailing how they believe he has some form of dementia and his handlers can't control him anymore. While it seems totally nuts, the more he pulls this kind of stuff the more I'm inclined to believe it.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

I 100% believe he has dementia.
I don't think that's the cause of any of his racism, etc nor does it excuse literally anything he's done in his presidency.
As long as he is brazen, his supporters will accept anything. Any abusive, treasonous, unconstitutional fuckery as long as he looks straight into the camera and demands it.
That is entirely his M.O.: if he comes right out and says it to everyone via the media directly, then what's the big deal? Just like when he asked Russia to find Clinton's emails. It takes the fire out of it - no more digging up 'evidence' and new details released constantly with the White House denying it ever happened etc. Instead people will say "ok, I heard him say it, so why is this such a big deal?" and that message will resonate with stupid people and I say that without sarcasm.
I went and watched the clip and sure as shit he is saying it to normalize it like it's no big deal. I agree this is his show and people are glued to it like idiots. He is appealing to his base.
I’m not sure this will go how he thinks it will and how it is in the past. People are tired of his shit and the Ukraine stuff is way more clear than how the Russian stuff came out. The polls already show the attitude is way different. His main idiots won’t care but they don’t care about anything.
With each passing day, I hate his supporters even more. The fact that absolutely NOTHING, even his own words out of his mouth, will make them realize that he is doing SO MUCH WRONG - there is literally zero hope for them. Any of them.
Sarah Kendzior has said over and over again that doing crimes openly is a show of strength for authoritarians. It’s a big “FU, whatcha gonna do about it??”

Exactly. And this far, it’s been nothing.
Americans are too complacent. We need to be in the streets protesting every day. It’s exhausting to even think about.

Also again, he is doing this WHILE HE IS PRESIDENT. He is no longer a candidate. He is doing this with our tax dollars and all the power afforded to the president of the US.
I think people could sort of explain things away when it was campaign related. It is a whole different ballgame when he has the title.

I don't think he has dementia. I know everyone wants to say he does because it seemingly absolves his stupidity. But, he's always been like this. Always. I don't know why it pains people to recognize:
1. He's always been a bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic wacko 2. He's never been the brightest bear in the woods - or my personal favorite line "the wheel is spinning but the gerbil is dead" 3. He's a mean spirited, temper tantrum throwing man-child 4. This is his Reality Show Persona - the Presidency is his ultimate reality show
5. You were never going to control a narcissistic ego maniac. I can probably guarantee you that no one has ever controlled this man and he's always been like this.
And finally, saying he has dementia basically absolves him of all of his bad behavior. He's an ass y'all. That's it.

I totally, completely agree with 1-5, and I don't think it absolves him of anything. I hoped I made that clear initially.
I do think he has dementia, though. Not because of anything he's said in his entire presidency though. I think he's the the same dumb, racist, narcissist he's always been, just one with dementia. He seems to be displaying a lot of the classic physical symptoms... Like how he's dragging his leg lately, or how he just kind of wandered off that speech/presser (I forget what it was specifically), or how on that tarmac he seemed to have absolutely no idea where he was or where he was going.

My larger concern too, as I've said before, is that mental health and health in general is the Bad Boy White Male behavior excuse. Like, there has to be something else wrong because nothing else makes sense.
Maybe he could, but the way all of this gets played out is that everything he does gets overlooked because he has this larger excuse. We don't give other people the same grace when it comes to illness, so I'm not giving 45 any.
ETA- not you personally, just in general the public and media will give him a pass because it's the easiest thing to do vs. holding this erratic nut accountable for his actions.
