This week there were LOTS of examples of Trump’s rapid mental decline. On my friend Cliff Schecter’s YouTube channel (which you should totally subscribe to) David Shuster discusses concerns from anonymous Trump White House staff regarding President Trump’s worsening irritability, confusion & memory loss, pointing to cognitive decline.
The video includes multiple examples, like the Oval Office meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa, where Trump made crazy statements. Then there is the time he claimed, without evidence, that Qatar was giving the United States 1.2 trillion or six times GDP, which is preposterous. And he didn’t back down, he’s now claiming $5.1 trillion worth of investment!
Watch the video. It’s short. Like. Subscribe. Then pick your favorite story to share with everyone.

This video single handedly demonstrates beyond any shadow of a doubt that he has got to GO!! This is reaching all new heights of absurdity.
Make a comment, like someone else’s comment and share on Bluesky, Mastodon, Facebook, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, Reddit, VK, OK or even LinkedIn.
For example, on LinkedIn someone could post “As a professional who cares for people with dementia, I’m really concerned for the health of Donald Trump. I see all the same signs in his behavior as I do in my clients.” (Several people commented about seeing the same signs in their parents and relatives. )
You could share on Facebook, “When I saw this video of Trump, with the repeating phrases, the loss of words, and the making up of numbers that aren’t grounded in reality, it reminded me of when Uncle Dave in his last days of his dementia. Someone needs to get Trump help.”
We can share with others our serious concerns. Like @R.Rigsby5319 did when he asked:
“Does this president have direct individual authority to initiate nuclear weapon strikes? Are there fail safe protocols in place if he makes any dementia associated “impulsive” launch orders?”
The point is to keep talking about this to multiple people in a way you feel comfortable with.
I don’t make jokes about my father-in-law’s short term memory loss and mental decline, but I can and will with Trump. Maybe share your favorite nickname for him. My friend Jeff Tiedrich has a bunch of them from his newsletter, Everyone is entitled to my own opinion.
Sundowning Grandpa Fuckface, Boy King or Mad King Donny.
We share our concerns and it gives the media a chance to bring it up to Trump’s cabinet. Then we watch them squirm, trying not to acknowledge reality.
As Jeff wrote, the first reporter to stand up and ask “what the fuck is wrong with you” should get a lifetime Pulitzer. I wonder if S.V Date got one?
