"Simply not well?": Gave me a little sick lump in the middle of my stomach. Hadn't thought about that.
That was a little weird. Their campaign said he was referring to the statute.
Look, if we're going to pick every malapropism as a sign of being mentally "not well" Bush41 would have been committed 40 years ago.
Check out Trump’s reply:
TRUMP: I don’t want to use, I don’t want to start the process of nuclear. Remember the one thing that everybody has said, I’m a counterpuncher. Rubio hit me. Bush hit me. When I said low energy, he’s a low-energy individual, he hit me first. I spent, by the way, he spent 18 million dollars’ worth of negative ads on me. That’s putting [MUFFLED]…
RYAN: This is about ISIS. You would not use a tactical nuclear weapon against ISIS?
TRUMP: I’ll tell you one thing, this is a very good-looking group of people here. Could I just go around so I know who the hell I’m talking to?
That's a better example, a better "symptom."
...I want to throw out a concern...What if it’s an example of someone who doesn’t have full command of his faculties?
There could be a good reason why. At times it can be very hard to distinguish between extreme right-wing politics and symptoms of dementia. [lol. Serious point though: I believe America was birthed slightly crazy. Our insanity has flared, as with Trump, and remitted but even in remission one still has the underlying condition.] The Alzheimer’s Association tells us that if two of the following core mental functions seem impaired then it is time to seek medical help: Memory, communication and language, ability to focus and pay attention, reasoning and judgment, visual perception. Alzheimer’s carries other symptoms besides memory loss including difficulty remembering newly learned information, disorientation, mood and behavior changes; deepening confusion about events, time and place; unfounded suspicions about family, friends and professional caregivers; more serious memory loss and behavior changes.
Scholars of the recent trends in GOP politics point to some of the very same tendencies happening across the extreme right-wing faction of the party. [The American strain of insanity has always been right-wing, never left-wing.]
Much to the chagrin of the reasonable conservatives who wonder what has happened to their party, it is now often difficult to distinguish Republican rhetoric from the ravings of someone suffering from diminished mental capacity. [What has happened to the Republican Party is Republican people. This is not just about Trump. If Republicans didn't share his insanity he wouldn't appeal to them, wouldn't have gotten ~40% of their votes, wouldn't be favorite to win nomination!]
Last October, Death and Taxes ran a piece wondering if Trump had dementia. They pointed to the fact that Trump’s father, Fred, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s six years prior to his death. [Trump is 69] They also highlighted Trump’s aggressive late-night tweets, [Yeah. I write late at night, too.] his childish behavior, [Ditto.] his name-calling [Now, wait a minute here.] and mood swings.[I do NOT have dementia.] They explained that it would be really easy for Trump take some tests and prove that he is mentally fit. [That is true, he could...And I see a shrink once every few months and he will tell you I'm fine, so fuck you.] “Because if Trump can prove he’s not suffering from a degenerative neurological disorder that has left him with a damaged mind devoid of all shame or self-awareness, he might just be an asshole.” [I do think my shrink would make that same diagnosis of me.]
