His stroke was in 2022...

He's literally not the same person, like, it's pretty common after a stroke to see drastic personality changes.

Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

My mom went from quiet, good natured, and zero sense of humor; to absolutely hilarious and loves to joke, but also crazy bigoted out of nowhere and just in general a piece of shit.

We need to start acknowledging that brain damage is a real thing, a crazy amount of people running our society are showing obvious signs. But no one wants to mention that they're flat out not mentally capable to hold office.

And we can't rely on their own staffers to ring the alarm bells, because doing so would lose their jobs while staying quiet let's them manipulate an elected official.

We should have learned this lesson after it came out about Reagan, but clearly we haven't.

His longest serving staffers quit a bit ago so you really can't rely on the staffers now.
