1. Here's how I can figure out for myself that @realDonaldTrump is NOT suffering from dementia.
You can play this game too. It will be fun.

2. Imagine you have a close friend who you've known for a long time. So you also know their family. You grew up together. You're on good terms with that friend's parents.

3. But for some reason, out of all your group of friends, you were the only one who never quite liked the father - your friend's father. The parents mentioned in (2).

4. You just never took to the guy, you couldn't see why so many people liked him. He didn't do it for you. Perhaps you even started to question his motivations. But you never saw anything wrong that you could ever point to (evidence). Just didn't like him.

5. And then, back to modern day, you notice that you're friend's father is exhibiting early onset dementia.

6. But once again you're the only one who can see what, to you, are textbook symptoms. Nobody else sees what you see. Not even your friend.

7. You want to help your friend and you need to help her understand what she's blind to.

Somehow, you need to explain to her the one thing that she cannot see for herself. You have to use words to open her eyes.

8. Do you go round to your friend's house, and once you're inside, start screaming, "He's unstable! He's unstable! Everyone around here knows he's unstable! The man has dementia!"

9. How do you think that would work out?

10. Obviously that's the one way you would never handle such a situation. It's totally preposterous. Practically unhinged. Some might even say..... demented?

11. No, what you would do is sit down for a really calm, fireside chat with your friend. You would have stacks of research and medical papers to back you up.
You might even bring a trusted medical professional with you. Or two, just to eliminate the doubt.

12. But you'd start off by understanding that the person you're trying to communicate this message to, is not going to be receptive at first. They might even think YOU'RE the crazy one.

You have to remain calm and logical.

13. Back to Trump. The MSM have taken it upon themselves to inform the American people that "Trump has dementia".

14. They're preaching to same choir that thinks "muh Trump Russia" - again without any evidence.

But if the President really has dementia, it's not the choir they need to convince, it's his supporters.

15. Trump's supporters, whether in the general public, alt-media, Twitter, MSM (Fox basically), and the handful on the Hill - it is they who must be persuaded that he's mentally unfit.

16. You'd have to be an actual, literal hermit to believe that Trump supporters would AUTOMATICALLY believe MSM if they tried to make the argument.

17. However, if the dementia were REAL, they would need to persist, in a calm and reasoned manner, to make a case, backed by real EVIDENCE.

18. Just like you would need to do with your hypothetical friend.

19. In a nutshell, if the President REALLY had dementia, the MSM would not be acting the way they're acting.

It's entirely counterproductive.

And when you realise that, it becomes clear that the script writers are going crazy.

20. All the script writer can come up with now is having the anchors scream down the camera, "He's CRAZY I tell ya! Carayzeeyee!"

21. Which can ONLY mean this.

Donald Trump is perfectly sane and A-OK.

But they want you to THINK he's crazy.

Boom!
