they can cite medical reasons for voting to remove him. then they don't have to admit anyone did anything wrong.

they also have the best chance of not pissing off their base. they can still say donnie was the greatest or whatever b.s. they feel they have to say, while still saying we had to move on for medical reasons.

He is NOT a medical professional. He is speaking from what he learned on his own when some family members experienced dementia.

While I believe he's accurate most of the time and his heart is in the right place, what I've noticed in the past is that he is sometimes a bit too liberal in what he interprets as a dementia sympton. He'll have a Twitter thread with a Trump video explaining 5 reasons why these are signs of dementia... while 3 or 4 may be pretty obvious, sometimes 1 or 2 of the things he points out are a bit questionable or can be explained in other ways.

John M. Talmadge, MD (@JohnMTalmadgeMD) Tweeted:
@SuziReynolds2 My professional opinion is that Donald J. Trump is impaired to the extent that he is not mentally, emotionally, or cognitively fit to meet the demands of the Presidency; and that he is unable to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution as required by his Oath of Office.

Fight against him anyway. He's still dangerous until he's removed from office.

Then fight against Mike Pence.

It probably won't matter. Republicans, red staters, Magat, etc. will find a way to excuse it or to glorify it. Hey, he sounds like grampa on a bad day, but gramps sometimes has good days. He's just like the rest of America, which is why we love him. We don't care that he doesn't make any sense. He's not like those libtard elitists who can spell and talk and know where stuff is on a map. He's like one of us.
