“Trump’s focus on flesh-eating predators and unsuspecting prey reveals something else about his psyche, said John Gartner, a psychologist and host of the podcast “Shrinking Trump.”

His father had impressed upon him that he needed to be a “killer” and a “king.” Trump imbibed the idea that being a victim was a fate to avoid. Becoming “the apex predator” was for Trump “the No. 1 objective,” helping explain his fascination with both sharks and Hannibal Lecter, Gartner said.

The unpleasant act of comparing Donald Trump’s age and mental fitness with Joe Biden’s became moot on the Sunday afternoon when the 81-year-old president ended his reelection campaign. Now the 78-year-old Trump stands alone for examination on age and mental fitness, a specimen like no other in the history of American elections.

Watch here youtube.com/live/xrgwUDUfb… 2/4 Dr. Jackson analyzes Biden's debate gaffes: "I think that he stutters, and I think stuttering is playing a bigger role in his verbal stumbles than most people think. I don't see evidence of cognitive decline."

1/6 “Donny isn’t falling asleep out of boredom, or because he’s a sociopath — no, it’s because his brain is deterioraing at an ever-increasing rate.”—Jeff Tiedrich

“Donald Trump was already a burst trash bag of personality defects. add “losing control over his basic bodily functions — sleep, wake, excretion” to the mix and holy shit, these are exactly the qualities you want in a Day One Dictator.”

Trump has slept involuntarily 5 out of 7 days, “tilting his head dramatically and making trout-like movements with his mouth.” It’s not drugs, deprivation of drugs, or sleep deprivation. Those are common, but this is unheard of
It’s dementia.
Reports that he is farting and allegedly incontinent just confirm that he is losing control of basic biological functions.
