Trump's Dementia: Giving The Game Away

The Very Stable Genius Malignant Fascist has been bragging about something a psychologist says you don't brag about if your elevator goes all the way to the top floor:

Donald Trump’s boasts about passing cognitive tests suggest he’s being monitored for the progression of dementia, one psychologist says.

Dr. John Gartner told The Daily Beast Podcast that the 79-year-old president’s claim to have “aced” three Montreal Cognitive Assessments could be more than simple routine screenings for the degenerative disease.

“You know, he kind of gave the game away again, as he often does,” Gartner, a former professor at Johns Hopkins, told co-host Joanna Coles about Trump claiming to have passed a test in front of “large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know.”

“You could maybe justify giving someone the MoCA once, just on their age, just as part of a physical. If you’re giving it to him three times, that means you’re not assessing dementia. That means you’re monitoring dementia,” Gartner said.

The MoCA is a 30-question assessment given over 10 minutes.

“Because if you keep feeling like, no, he’s still got the symptoms, we’ve got to see how bad he’s doing now, we’ve got to check again, see how bad he’s doing now—I think they’re giving him cognitive tests and MRIs every six months to monitor the progress of his dementia, and/or strokes," Gartner added.

Trump had an MRI in October, just six months after his April physical. The White House has said it was a “preventative” look at his heart and abdomen.  [snip]

One of things the president can’t stop doing, it seems, is bragging about cognitive tests. Trump, the oldest person elected president, has been doing it since his first term. In a 2020 interview with Fox News, he claimed that he impressed doctors so much that he earned “extra points” on a 2018 exam, part of which required him to repeat the words “person woman man camera TV” in the correct sequence...

As someone said, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows -- nor does it take a psychologist to point out the MF's clear mental (and physical) decline, but it helps.  So, yes, the MF's in "monitoring dementia" mode.  Meanwhile, is someone "monitoring" the nuclear button and making sure it's not connected to anything?
