My Dad had frontotemporal dementia. My sibling and I had to deal with the consequences - until we couldn't cope, when my Dad became properly violent.

We're looking at Trump and let me tell you, it feels eerily familiar. The confusion, remembering stuff from the past but not the present, but most importantly - and that's one of the defining traits of frontotemporal dementia - the constant aggressivity that stems from the sufferer's incorrect world views and beliefs being at odds with a reality that everybody keeps reminding him of, that leads him to believe everybody is against him... When it gets bad enough, the person literally assaults people who contradict him out of frustration. Ask me how I know...

We see the signs in Trump. Clear as day. And I bet everybody who's had to deal with a parent who had dementia sees the signs too.

The difference is, our Dad wasn't a sitting US president with a penchant for fascism and autocracy. He was a random dude and he was institutionalized before he could harm other people.

How did this imbecile ever become anything, let alone allowed to 'run' a country...twice? TWICE!!!
He's a fucking village idiot in need of a village, an obvious traitor, an unregistered child rapist, a convicted criminal AND rapist. And yet he's seen no consequences plus been president of the us twice.
Fuck sake, I just can not understand it. It's unfathomable.

The whole post is so incoherent that I couldn't even tell that the random segue was meant to be directed at someone else without the highlight.

This dude's brain is mush.

Without a doubt was not intended as a post, I assume Trump uses direct messaging on Truth Social for government business. This isn't directly to the public, it shows that he really like that. And it's blatantly incompetent to reveal it like that.

Not that it matters, the president is a convicted felon, pedophile protecting that just got caught telling the DOJ to arrest his political enemies with no evidence and he still has support of his cultists. It's almost hard to believe how far we've fallen.

Sure, sure... Now, about all the

Child Rape

This is like old people telling their partner to get milk on Facebook in a public post or doing a Google search in the comments of a Google Facebook post.

They are using his fake twitter clone for government communication outside of oversight. I imagine they have relatively horrible information handling and security practices at that company... Has Anonymous or anyone tried to hack in and release?

There's no way he types like that in direct messages? Right?

Frankly, I cannot completely parse this text and I won't try. It could give me TDS.

But it does look like he's accidentally publicly talking about things that are happening behind the curtain.

No news per se: we already know that this is a fascist coup. But another piece of evidence.

I like that's a screenshot of "truth" posted on litter, then screenshotted and posted on Reddit, then screenshotted and posted on Lemmy

it's weird that he uses those juvenile nicknames even in private(?) conversation.

God, Id always assumed the way he posts is just his persona. Imagine if all your work emails were from trump.

This is so nutty.

Every day that goes by I wonder how even republicans can pretend like his behavior is totally fine and normal.

This is how your deranged 80 year old uncle posts on facebook. POTUS not so much.

Such a sack of orange shit.

Release the Trump/Epstein files

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

the 2016-2020 trump timelime pales compare to this one. Back then, we had late night shows making fun of him, stupid and random tweets (remember covfefe?). Things only blew up during covid and george floyd and the Jan 6th insurrection.

This timeline 2025 to 2029 (supposedly) is full of what the fuck moments. And we're not even done with the 1st year !!

This reminds me of when the Ukraine blackmail story first broke. Even before the impeachment push, it seemed like the story was far more riveting -- entirely because of the whistleblower angle. I remember thinking at the time that if all the transcripts being shown on the news with the reactions and dramatic highlighter effects had instead been a public statement by Trump that "yeah, we're withholding weapons until Zelensky gives us dirt on Biden," the entire thing would have blown over in a week. Maybe this could be similar?

(You know what else has the cachet of secrecy and coverup? The Epstein files.)

Call me naive but I thought he was only lightly sipping on his own kool-aid, not drinking it by the gallon.

I think it's a screenplay like in the Epstein book

Who is this Lindsey that apparently has Trumps ear?

probably this pam blocked him (dump is a very creepy guy) so it's an attempt to evade.

That's the difference between: "Alexa write a message to Pam: [message]" and "Alexa write a message: Pam [message]" :P
