Trump makes bizarre claim about Biden and Jan. 6

[Kurokage]

Biden, on the other hand, you could see deterioration.
Videos of him as Vice President compared to President ... stark contrast.
The deterioration was very clear.

I totally agree with you about Biden, but some early signs of dementia are there with Trump. The paranoia and forgetting of place names and events, just to name a few.

I don't see it as paranoia. 
I see it as his ego getting stepped on and he can't handle it.
He blows up even the smallest slights.
This guys ego is beyond huge.  Stratospheric.

Maybe really try hard to stick to the thread title??   Go on, you can do it!

The fact that he was President when he tried to claim Biden had put the 200+ FBI in the crowd on Jan 6th? As to the echo chamber, anyone makes a comment that isn't liked by his supporters, and you guys all go full Karen.

I didn't hear Kash say that they were added later so I too thought it was the FBI inciting the violence but I guess that was incorrect, sorry.

Since when is having an opposing opinion considered going "full Karen"? If I don't agree with your assessment of Trumps neurological state don't you want to hear about it? Or are you just looking to have your opinion echoed back at you?

It tends to be the Trump supporters who are just looking to have their opinion echoed back at them, if you post that you disagree, it's then suddenly thread drift and them throwing a 'Karen' in my experience, just how it was on ATS. 

I've actually praised Trump for his attempts at ending the conflict in Israel and for recently allowing Ukraine to attack supply lines further into Russia (I made a thread) with American made weapons. 
But the second you criticise him the same members come out and defend and praise him and attack the person and not the article posted.

I think the press and socials are right to bring his health concerns to the public, just like many did with Biden, Trump just like Biden before him will be the oldest President to serve and with that comes health concerns.

I think the press and socials are right to bring his health concerns to the public, ...

They were all silent under Biden and his obvious impairment.
The press and social media speculating about Trump are doing so for partisan reasons.
So far everything they've speculated about with Trump has been false.

The other day I saw left wing press speculating about Trump because he got off AirForce One in Israel (or maybe Egypt) and he was looking down at his feet and the stairs as he walked off the aircraft.  They were saying he was unsteady, off balance, impaired ... all because he did what everyone with a brain does, he looked at his feet and the stairs as he came down them.

I am of the opinion no one over 65 should be holding the office of POTUS, VPOTUS, CONGRESS or SENATE in America.   I think that's a good cut off for every elected office around the entire planet ... and it would be good if every other country had that cut off as well.    Yes, with age comes experience and wisdom ... but with age also comes cognitive decline and a slower mind and body.

I agree with everything you've posted but I just feel it's gotten a lot worse.

I think his late night internet attacks on anyone who disagrees with him, attempted arrests of anyone who won't tow the line, his ever more deranged off topic rants on stage, and a more authoritarian approach to running the country, show clear signs of paranoia, and the 'yes' men around him aren't helping him.

I've seen you show balance.    I disagree with you calling him 'dementia don', I don't think he has it, but you have been balanced and not full tilt 'just hate Trump no matter what'.

ATS back in the day was full of either internet or newspaper articles about Bidens declining health, I do agree that the more popular mainstream media were far less aggressive with Biden than they are with Trump, but it's the online articles that are posting this, just as they did about Biden's failings.

- Internet attacks on anyone who disagrees with him .... that's his personality and ego.   The Biden administration did the same thing but they were more polished about it.  Trump is crude and raw.   He's not a very good politician.

- Attempted arrests of anyone who wont tow the line ... he hasn't attempted to arrest people, he just bloviates that he wants to.   His mouth runs non stop and without filter.   He is his own worst enemy.

- Off topic rants ... he's been doing it his whole life.   Look at 2015 tapes, look at 2008 Oprah interview.   He has always rambled off topic and then come back to the topic.   It's not deterioration.   It's him.  I honestly don't know how he gets business done.   

- Authoritarian approach to running the country ... Sure.   Biden administration did the same thing but they were more polished about it.   Trump is crude and raw.

- The paranoia you speak of I see as out of control ego getting stepped on.

- Yes men around him ... sure ... ALL Presidents have that.   Surround themselves with yes men and hangers-on.   Biden was really bad with it.   Well ... Biden, or his wife Jill who was actually running things.

Well the government and the FBI did conspire to bring him down so I do understand some paranoia, he is all over the map and both literally and figuratively and as you mentioned he is an old man pushing 80. I know I forget shit if I get a little busy too, so the concern on mental and physical health isn't falling on deaf ears it's something everyone should keep an eye on.
