    It is OK for some people to have views like this one. We, normal Americans, welcome any views. Read the YouTube comments to realize that many people across the World took it VERY differently. This includes me.

    And, by the way, it is all over now. Wall Street decided already that Trump won. Read financial news to grasp it. There is no need to analyze deeply, although it requires brains at least like a Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh.

    Donald Trump’s cognitive decline becoming a troubling concern
    https://lasvegassun.com/news/2024/oct/30/trumps-decline-has-been-alarming/

    Donald Trump’s racism, sexism, xenophobia and penchant for corruption have long made him unfit for any public office, let alone the presidency. But as he continues his bid for a second term in the White House, there is an unsettling and undeniable shift that is leading many experts, observers and even some Trump supporters to conclude that the former president’s mental acuity and sharpness are also in decline, that his physical health and stamina are waning and that his frustration and anger are boiling over.

    Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump’s words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness.

    There’s no need to resort to armchair psychology to interpret what’s apparent. If victorious, Trump would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. In recent weeks, he has canceled an increasing number of public appearances, with Trump’s own campaign citing the candidate’s exhaustion. When he does appear publicly, Trump struggles to complete sentences or sustain coherent thoughts, and has shown a pronounced difficulty concentrating and a tendency to repeat himself, sometimes within the same sentence.

    At a recent rally in New Hampshire, for example, Trump began to discuss infrastructure and wound up segueing into a disjointed monologue about loyalty and perceived injustices against him, ending with a bewildering comment about windmills causing cancer.

    This is not an isolated incident. A recent analysis by The New York Times noted that Trump’s rally speeches over the past eight years have become darker, longer, more profane and increasingly unfocused and unhinged — a troubling sign that he is no longer able to articulate ideas or reason in ways we expect of our leaders. This makes him prey to manipulations by his own staff or, worse, the control of foreign adversaries.

    He shambles about aimlessly, slurs his words and sometimes speaks gibberish. Always an effortless liar, now that his speeches are nothing more than a series of lies tangled in a mass inside his head, it appears he no longer even knows he’s lying.

    He has called for the imprisonment of journalists, pledged to purge the government of “deep state” operatives he perceives as disloyal and is amplifying his tyrannical rhetoric. He has also increased his public praise for dictators like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping while using increasingly fascist language to describe those he deems political enemies. The former president has even suggested using the military against his domestic critics — an approach reminiscent of repressive regimes in history that has often been the precursor to creeping authoritarianism.

    With Trump’s fragility comes an increasing dependence on enablers who show a disturbing willingness to indulge his delusions, amplify his paranoia or steer his feeble mind toward their own goals. Among these enablers is his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Should Trump be deemed unfit to serve, Vance would step into power.

    Once a “Never Trump” conservative who openly criticized Trump as a danger to the republic, Vance has since fully embraced an extremist ideology, morphing into a vocal MAGA supporter who seems eager to emulate Trump’s worst instincts.

    Beyond his weird obsession with childless women whom he says are “deranged” and “sociopathic,” and his penchant for spreading conspiracy theories about immigrants and other marginalized communities, Vance poses a different threat to democracy than Trump. He has repeatedly demonstrated that he is little more than a puppet of his billionaire hedge fund benefactors and has openly stated he would have refused to certify the 2020 election, suggesting he would subordinate constitutional principles for personal profit and power.

    His willingness to discard any principles shows that he would likely not push back against Trump’s excesses or his deteriorating mental stability. Instead, he might embrace a Trumpian authoritarianism, exacerbating the very dangers we face with Trump’s current mental decline.

    If history has taught us anything, it is that democracies are fragile. America’s founders designed the presidency to be a stabilizing force. Trump’s instability, paired with his and Vance’s increasing willingness to trample democratic norms and visible contempt of anyone not like him, has transformed what might have once been seen by conservatives as an uncomfortable leadership style into an existential threat to American democracy.

    For those who believe in a country governed by checks, balances and the rule of law, a return to Trumpian leadership is dangerous in its own right. But to do so with an impaired leader who cannot govern competently and a fellow authoritarian waiting in the wings is perilous.

    As voters consider Trump’s latest bid for the presidency, it’s essential to recognize that this election is not merely a choice between policy platforms or party loyalties. It’s a test of our willingness to safeguard our nation from leaders whose fitness for office is in serious question. This election is about protecting the integrity of our democracy from those who would let it collapse in the name of power, loyalty or expedience.

    Donald Trump has never had the moral compass to lead this country. But even his supporters cannot afford to ignore the signs that he may no longer have the mental faculties to lead it either. The stakes are simply too high.

    ‘Does He Understand Money?’: Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal Slams Donald Trump’s Intellect
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/does-understand-money-rupert-murdoch-104503965.html

    Rupert Murdoch’s editorial writing team at the Wall Street Journal says America’s gold decor-loving, cash-carrying billionaire president doesn’t understand how money actually works.

    On Tuesday, U.S. consumer price inflation unexpectedly rose to 3 percent, prompting an excitable post from Donald Trump on his social media platform Truth Social saying that interest rates should be lowered and that this would go “hand in hand with upcoming Tariffs!!!”

    “Does President Trump understand money? ... the answer would appear to be no,” the WSJ editorial board replied, going on to explain why doing such a thing might cause inflation to soar—and Trump’s approval ratings to plunge.

    “Perhaps the president wants the public to look elsewhere when assigning blame for rising prices,” it said.

    Under the headline “Trumponomics and Rising Inflation,” the WSJ team went on to systematically dismantle Trump’s mental abilities. “The layers of intellectual confusion here are hard to parse,” it wrote, before reluctantly going on to try and parse them anyway.

    “Rising inflation means the Fed must be more cautious in cutting rates,” it said, in a similar tone to that you might find in an eighth grade economics class.

    “He has the analysis backward,” they continued, “if he’s trying to blame the Federal Reserve.”

    “Someone should tell him,” about what was actually to blame for the potential for a pause in rate cuts (the Fed’s “premature” half percentage point cut in September, apparently.)

    Trump has previously signaled that he would like to assert control over the independent Federal Reserve, telling Bloomberg in July 2024 that he wouldn’t fire Fed chair Jerome Powell, “especially if I thought he was doing the right thing.”

    “The Powell Fed is likely to ignore Mr. Trump, and well it should,” it said.

    Despite the patronising tone, the article makes it clear that the Journal is on Trump’s side and wants him to succeed.

    It says he’s not responsible for price rises since he’s only been in office for three weeks, and warns that failing to get inflation under control was one of the main reasons why President Joe Biden lost the election.

    “The last thing Mr. Trump should be doing now is demanding that Mr. Powell cut rates further,” it says, because “an inflation revival may be the biggest threat to the Trump presidency.”

    “Real average earnings are flat over the last three months,” it says.

    “If this persists, Mr. Trump won’t have a 53% job approval rating for long.”
