    Decline? What decline? He’s been this mental case for years. This is what people voted for. Twice. The only decline possible is that he forgets how to breathe.

    It’s just like tesla owners and Elon. “Oh but I bought this before he went crazy.” Bitch, he’s always been crazy, you’re just ignorant or insanely stupid.

      Yeah but there’s different stages of crazy. There’s “micro-managing credit-stealing dick boss” level, and then there’s “help foreign enemies hack the government while throwing Nazi salutes” level.

      Initially, he looked to be on a similar level up Jobs or many other narcissistic upper-management types in a gadget-cult, which - sadly - is not so uncommon and that many people accept

        He did stuff which was completely fucked up crazy. Lying, scamming people, saying really fucked up shit etc. It’s easy to ignore all that to justify buying his products. But don’t tell me it was at a different level before. The nazi salute just made it unavoidably clear but there were maaaaaany very clear signs many years before that.

      Yeah it’s the entire point that a dotard is president. Much easier to puppet someone who has the mental capacity of a goldfish and who can be manipulated with simple praise because he hungers for love and attention since he never got any from his parents.

      Unlike his first term, his puppeteers have figured out how to pull the strings. It’s why Dump’s second term is so much more effective and why the US is on the fast track towards theocracy.

        Physically, yes. Mentally I haven’t seen much difference. He’s just the same old idiot blabbing weird nonsense, not knowing what he’s actually saying himself. Not forming normal sentences, not understanding what others say, just bad cognitive functions. This was also during his first term.

          I see him sticking to teleprompters almost exclusively these days. He rarely did that in the past. It’s obvious when he’s reading and when he’s just projecting a stream-of-consciousness at the crowd. When he does try to improvise he gets confused easily and uses much simpler phrases than he once did. You can see his brain working slower than it used to.

            Does he write his own teleprompter? Because even that is weird loonie bullshit which makes no sense at all. He sounds like a 3 year old. Teleprompter or not.

              Probably not. His style isn’t particularly difficult to emulate though. I’ve seen random people on the internet do it pretty convincingly so I’m sure a professional speech writer could pull it off. He seems like he’s just going through the motions and reading whatever they want him to say.
