Psychiatrist: Trump Pre-Dementia & Cognitive Decline Getting Worse


Posting this re latest news of Trump's inability to remember where his own father was born.
April 4, 2019

I don't think it's a lie. I think it's pre-senile early-onset dementia.



I'm a bit freaked out because I remember family members who said things like this when they were elderly and losing their minds.

I don't think it's a lie because Trump doesn't gain anything by saying this, he's not trying to score some point like with the rest of his lies. And he's done it three times since he's been the (p)resident.

And I think we (and the media) are so overwhelmed with the daily and fast-moving debacle of this presidency that the serious issue of whether Trump is mentally unstable is getting lost.

Donald Trump keeps claiming his father was born in Germany. He wasn't.

Source: News.com.au

Social media users are baffled after Donald Trump came out with the false claim his father was born in Germany. For the third time since his inauguration, the US President has stated his father, Fred Trump, was born in Germany.

The issue came up on Tuesday when he was discussing NATO and Germany needing to contribute more funds as part of the alliance during a White House event.

“I mean, Germany, honestly, is not paying their fair share,” he said. “I have great respect for Angela, and I have great respect for their country.

“My father is German. Right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany, and so I have a great feeling for Germany.” Fred Trump was born in New York in 1905 — a known fact that’s left social media users baffled.

Nevermind "oringes". This is early-onset pre-senile dementia. Confusing basic facts about your direct family members is a major symptoms.

So much wisdom here I have to post it and the transcript.



"I disagree with people who say Donald Trump inspired the shooter in New Zealand. For me, I feel like Donald Trump is inspired by the same things as the shooter in New Zealand. They're products of the same white supremacy...he's a product of that. And that's scary because you know when you think that he's the figurehead it makes it almost easy just go if you just get rid of him and the problem is gone...

"It isn't only economic anxiety, there's a larger narrative that's being spread online to a lot of white men in a very similar style that Isis spreads its message and that is that hey this is your true destiny this is what's happening to you you should be afraid and this is how you can fight back and I think Donald Trump is as inspired by that message as the shooter was.

"That's why he needs his Jeanine Pirros on TV to help him figure out how he feels about things, why he's so stressed when they're not on the air."

Like Obama said: Trump is a symptom.
I say: Trump was and is an effect, and now he's also a contributing cause.

Remember BBQ Becky and Permit Patty? Meet the Shelter Suzies



“BBQ Becky” was a meme about the woman who called the cops on a family for barbecuing while black, while “Permit Patty” involved a woman calling authorities about an 8-year-old black girl selling bottled water.

Now there’s the Shelter Suzies, AKA Amy Sutton and Melissa Oporto, two women harassing a shelter for legal migrants in San Diego.

RW extremists harassing shelter for migrants in California

A shelter for legal immigrants in South San Diego is gaining attention from anti-immigrant activists and local residents who have started a campaign of filming in front of the shelter and confronting the workers there, resulting in a police response on at least one occasion.

The shelter is called a "secret shelter" by the activists. One said the shelter is as part of a conspiracy by Sen. Bernie Sanders. “All these people are connected to Bernie Sanders,” says Amy Sutton in one of the videos she filmed from in front of the shelter. “Bernie is in the background. We have the proof."

In one video posted February 19, Melinda Oporto momentarily blocks the front gate of the shelter and prevents a security guard from closing it. Workers at the shelter then call the police, prompting Oporto to start screaming at the workers. "I can scream all I want! It's not illegal to scream!" She then starts chanting “traitors, traitors.” Oporto says to the shelter workers, "How does it feel to be a human trafficker? How does it feel to be an American traitor?"

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremist groups in the U.S., identifies Oporto as a far-right activist.
