From Palmer Report:
It can be tricky to diagnose dementia when it’s mild, because everyone occasionally forgets names and such as they get older. But what about when it’s not mild? What about when it’s so glaringly obvious and over the top that if a mafia boss on trial were behaving that way, you’d assume he was faking it? What about when a person exhibits clear cut signs of advanced dementia every single day that he’s in public view? And what about when that person just happens to be the current President of the United States?
Palmer Report has been documenting Donald Trump’s worsening dementia symptoms for quite awhile now. It was obvious back he was on criminal trial. It was more obvious throughout the 2024 campaign. It’s been glaringly obvious since he’s retaken office. So what’s it going to take for the mainstream media to finally start talking about the fact that the sitting President of the United States has end stage dementia? We may have finally turned the corner, thanks to a trifecta of utterly insane moments on Sunday.
First there was CNN’s attempt at an “interview” with Trump that ended up consisting of nothing but Trump texting his answers to the network. That’s a telltale sign that Trump was so far gone on Sunday, his babysitters were afraid of letting him on television, and instead opted to ghost write answers.
Then we got a taste of what condition Trump was actually in on Sunday, when he attempted to give a speech and ended up claiming that he predicted the 9/11 attack a year ago. This attack was twenty-four years ago, so what is he even saying here? Then he decided he predicted 9/11 a year before it happened. Then he appeared to suggest that he made the prediction to Pete Hegseth, who would have still been in college at the time. Then Trump claimed he made the prediction in his book, which he admitted he couldn’t remember the name of. This is over the top even by Trump’s recent dementia standards.
Then Trump admitted just how frail he’s become when he said “I have to be careful because one day I’m gonna probably fall. I always say walk down the steps nice and slow.” Does this sound like the Donald Trump we’ve always known and hated? This guy has always been in such narcissistic denial about his health that he’s hired quack doctors to lie about his weight and declare that he was in perfect health. Now he’s talking (for the second time of late) about how he thinks he’s going to fall down. This new dementia riddled version of Trump is so far removed from who he used to be, he doesn’t remember how narcissistic he’s always been. And he thinks 9/11 happened last year and he warned Pete Hegseth about it ahead of time. If that’s even what he was trying to say because it was so incoherent.
But the real story isn’t just that Donald Trump has end stage dementia. The real story is that Trump’s end stage dementia isn’t the story. I mean, where is it? A handful of online media outlets have, to their credit, finally begun pointing out Trump’s cognitive collapse. But the TV news networks are still unwilling to admit that Trump has dementia, even now that his dementia is making it impossible for them to interview him.
When is this finally going to change? The President of the United States is legitimately psychotic, he’s trying to invade American cities, and now the United States government is literally not in business anymore thanks to the shutdown. At every insane turn on this tragic Trump 2.0 ride, his dementia has been plainly obvious and has directly influenced all of these disastrous events – and the media has ignored it. But after what happened this weekend, will the media finally have to address it? One can hope.
