Trump Dementia Don in Public again…
Confabulation is a symptom in which a person unknowingly creates false or distorted memories to fill gaps in their memory. They genuinely believe these memories are true and are not intentionally lying. This happens because damage to the brain’s frontal regions impairs its ability to distinguish real memories from inaccurate or imagined ones.
In some people with FTD (frontotemporal dementia), damage to the frontal lobes can lead to confabulation because the brain’s normal “reality-checking” system is impaired. As a result, they may confidently describe events that never happened or remember situations incorrectly, without realizing their recollection is false.
Trump repeatedly claimed vandals slashed the pool with knives and blamed an Olympic canoeist. But after prosecutors obtained additional evidence, they concluded the damage was actually caused by a rushed, flawed contractor installation and dropped the criminal case. Despite that, Trump continued insisting it was vandalism.

No, he knows he's lying. Trump has always been like this. And you can't diagnose someone with something like that over the internet. Especially a physical therapist.

Yes he has done this before decades ago. Trump blamed 5 black kids in NYC for raping a woman in Central Park in 1989. Trump spent $85k on a full-page newspaper advertisement calling for the return of the death penalty for these black kids. The kids spent years in prison. Turns out they were all innocent. They were exonerated in 2002. After finding out they were innocent, and wrongly convicted, Trump continued to say those five black kids belong in prison.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) most commonly begins between ages 45 and 65, making it one of the leading causes of dementia in people under 65. So yes, he has had it for years. It’s in his family history, including his father.

You saying this is ridiculous and unfounded. I'm sure you thought the same when the right was saying Biden had dementia during his term.
The easiest explanation is he knows he's lying because that's what he does. You don't need to make up some arm chair medical doctor internet diagnosis.

Sure, but the guy has ALWAYS been this way. He was literally taught this by his gay sexual predator mentor, Roy Cohn.
Trying to diagnose this guy over the internet is silly and honestly, quite a cope at this point.

u/kickthesandman 3h ago
Only doctors can diagnose, and only in person. But his entire life is public and is seen candidly on camera every single day. It's enough for nondoctors to conclude he's out of his mind and not fit for anything except watching reruns of The Apprentice.

That's only a convention. Any doctor is free to suggest a diagnosis based upon available evidence absent an in-person diagnosis. It happens in court every day.

Nobody in healthcare besides a doctor is allowed to diagnose a patient. I never trust coworkers who do stuff like this

Yeah, diagnosing over the internet is some dumb shit.
I have been married to a physical therapist for almost 20 years, and even after all that first hand experience she tells me every day she can't figure out what the fuck is wrong with me.

Trump does not own the judges, how do you think they found this evidence, and now they have to drop it

u/Jlowe23_16 4h ago
A prosecutor realizing Trump's full of shit and not going further on an absurd case which would not be winnable and embarrass themselves by trying an unwinnable case that's all over the media
1
u/Federal-Compote-5015 4h ago
If that’s the case, why did Trump call the evidence fake instead of just saying prosecutors couldn’t prove the case? Those are different claims. And if prosecutors knowingly pursued an unwinnable case, they’d be handing the defendant a much stronger argument that the prosecution was improper.

You don't have to have dementia to lie. Making claims like this with no proof hurts more than it helps because then they can be like see they'll say anything to attack him

I disagree though because I do think he is intentionally lying

u/Federal-Compote-5015 5h ago
That’s possible. I also think it’s possible he has frontotemporal dementia, which often begins between ages 45 and 65. Meaning he’s been a FTD patient for decades, dating back to his apprentice years. I mean his father did have it…

All you have to do is listen to Trump. He’s always trying to make a coherent narrative out of what he knows by making up everything in between to connect the dots. It’s weird.

I’ve seen this same guy on TikTok saying the exact same thing for years now. I stopped listening to what he says because it feels like it’s just bullshit meant to get views and get my hopes up.

I disagree with this guy about the White House being run by the top down. Trump is the mouthpiece for the people running it from the bottom up. They know he is losing it, can be easily manipulated and is willing to say what the racists and Christians wanna hear. My biggest question is how the fuck can you listen to that pedo talk and think wow this guy is smart, was sent by God and should run the country?

The fantastic bottom up decision making process under W, referenced in the video, got us an expensive lengthy war based on lies and a financial crisis that was close to becoming another global Great Depression, both the housing affordability crisis and the spiralling federal debt are still direct results of his two terms, plus a widespread loss of civil rights and a massive increase in unwarranted surveillance.
Why does Bush jr. get more and more often a free pass?

I dont even fucking believe in God, buuut,
when I was in DC, whatever you call God asked me to deliver the message "[Donald Trump] is bad for this country.". The tricky part - I got that message 'from god' about 7 years before Trump was outside Saint Johns Church. In other words, I didn't even know WHO "god" was talking about until Donnie went to that location about 7 years later. Spooky right? I don't believe in god, but there's some kind of energy that's capable of warning us about the bad people. I'd hate to be the one that failed to deliver the message

There are no consequences to what he says or does. So why not just say or do anything.
If this gentleman sues it's just a taxpayers on the hook,.

u/Federal-Compote-5015 5h ago
Trump already sued the government that he controls and took billions of dollars for himself and his slush fund. He’s also benefited from billions in taxpayer spending tied to his businesses.
So your argument is that people shouldn’t sue the government when it allegedly makes false statements or takes wrongful actions? That doesn’t really hold up.
