He has been profoundly mentally ill for decades. Fucking hell, I knew this as a kid growing up in NYC in the 80s. I find it difficult to accept how dim so much of the electorate has proven itself.

I thought you said proudly. But it wouldn't really have changed anything

[–] Septimaeus 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah he’s had an awful reputation in NYC long before he became a national figure, especially after his public campaign to kill the exonerated five (boys falsely accused of an attack who were convicted and served full sentences before being exonerated as adults).

He’s always been a proudly and profoundly contemptible man.

Yes, he's been eat up with NPD, and who knows what else, since forever. He was the laughing stock of America in the 80s, 90s, even 2000s. But his mental decline has been sharp and obvious since 2021 at my reckoning, really falling off a cliff in the past 2 years.

Has it declined, or has he always been this stupid

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 38 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's absolutely declined. Listen to interviews with him from the 2000s and it's a different person.

He's still a pompous, narcissistic asshole, but he can form coherent thoughts.

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yes hes a different person now, today he would never grab the ass of Rudy Guliani in full drag outfit. Those days are passed (still on YouTube), today he is just longing for those days

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Been beaten up around here for saying exactly this. My thoughts are the decline ramped up in 2021 or so. Problem is, the media just reports quips and sentences. And when we hear him, it's the usual meaningless blather. Read a transcript and it gets scary fast.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Listen to interviews with him

I'm good.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 6 points 1 month ago

He's not falling from a great height, but he's definitely falling

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago

He's hit rock bottom 10 years ago, stupid illiterate fuck

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Don't worry, the press will ignore it.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

He's said stupid shit all along and the media normalizes it so it's hard to tell.

The Author of this Article has a MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM and needs to be in an ASYLUM for even SUGGESTING something BAD About Dear Leader Trump!

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

considering his decades of cocaine and adderal abuse that led to fecal incontinence, i would say yes. and his obsession with orange concealer on his face.

[–] giacomo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

no, he's always been retarded

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

He has. But didn't always have dementia.

[–] 000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Just so you know, the downvotes are for using the r word

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Just listen to how he speaks in just the last year alone. There is something drastically different going on inside his mind. My grandmother passed away in 2008 of a stroke before that happened. She was very lively with a voice that could easily fill a room. Towards the end of her life she would slur words talk in a whisper and go on long rambles about nothing or things that happened years or decade ago. I see the same thing happening with Trump now.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Why are we even talking about this? We should be shouting it.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Of course he is.

And now his cult has democrats' unsuccessful coverup of biden's decline to point to whenever democrats say anything about trump. The scare quotes OP put around mental decline are just more denial of the obvious.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

He's flatlining, but so are his cultists

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

No shit, Sherlock
