Dementia??

[NewEnglandAutumn]

Sure looks like it. This is not the first time he did something like this.

1. Just a dick. nt

3. +1

2. Just rude nt

4. Nope.

Just a self absorbed malignant narcissist. I shun the dementia argument. If that gets legs, it will be used to let him off the hook for his crimes.

7. He'll never go to prison.

Even if he's actually indicted, convicted, and not pardoned, they'll delay long enough to be able to argue that any time in prison would amount to a death sentence due to ill health. True or not, they'll easily be able to convince a judge he's not to ill, one way or another.

House arrest in one of his palaces is about the best we can hope for.

8. You're probably correct.

I hope he is shamed out of office for his treasonous criminal behavior not bogus dementia.

9. That argument didn't keep Cosby out.

And he's older and in worse health and physical condition than trmpie.

15. Our judicial system managed to send a black man to prison. Amazing.

And more relevant, rich white men like madoff and von bulow sometimes go to prison.

And rarely, even politicians do, like blagojovich or hastert.

But a president even just getting indicted would be unprecedented. A third of the country would object, violently in all probability. And there is a precedent for a pardon of a recent former president, so that seems far more likely.

No doubt he richly deserves a long time behind bars, but I have my doubts that our system is up to the job....

5. later that day...

either dementia or just hates these people (except Pootey of course )

[RockRaven]

6. Nope, his lawyers might try that argument eventually; in reality, he's just a self-centered asshole

He just DGAF about anything or anyone. He doesn't listen to anyone, he doesn't prepare, he doesn't pay attention. In a normal presidency someone would have told the POTUS ahead of time "here's the plan for this photo op, yadda yadda" but I doubt they even bother anymore, because it just irritates him more to hear someone other than himself talking.

12. Perfectly stated! +1

10. I think it's medication.

That constant sniffing he does is an indication of dry mucous membranes which is common with a lot of meds.

11. I saw that when it happened. It looked more like he didn't have patience and left.

Literally, it was as if he was bored and decided to leave thinking his glory moment was done, and he was done trying to keep up with a foreign language. As if, there was nothing left for him there, so bye.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Yes, now that you mention it...he does lack

Patience for interpretors

[herding cats]

14. He doesn't even try in my opinion.

You see him fade out and turn off unless it's a person of interest to him.

16. I was just thinking morbidly for a second. If I led a country like Russia or Iran

this would be the perfect time to attack someone/something. If, they really have the goods on him, he might not retaliate. However, maybe even they know, he's a basket case and is sleeping (or not sleeping) by the nuke button.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. You are giving dementia a bad name here :) Seriously, think his issues

go way beyond memory loss. Just read something - about how he calls people from a blocked number in the middle of the night and rants for hours and doesn't allow the other person to talk. Can just imagine someone lying in bed, "ah huh, ah huh"..

[cwydro]

18. He's a damn clueless moron.

Dementia or not.
