If you ignore the seriousness of it, it’s actually quite funny. It reminded me, for those old enough to know what I’m on about, of a Smith & Jones or Two Ronnies sketch. Well worth a read.
The conclusion in it is ‘This man’s brain is filled with spiders.’

Jon Stewart pointed out that Escape from Alcatraz was being shown on TV on Sunday afternoon in the Florida area and anyone watching TV could have seen it. That evening, Trump does a Truth(?) Social post saying he wants Alcatraz to be renovated.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

Seems like a plausible explanation. Which is utterly ridiculous but a sign of the times we are in.

Be a lot more interesting if it was Jurassic Park instead.

I suppose we can be thankful for Melania’s sake that the moron wasn’t watching Midsomer Murders.

He is mad as a badger, but I’m afraid Biden had completely lost his marbles by the end.
biden hadn't lost his marbles - but it simply wasn't credible to imagine him fit enough to still be president in 2028.
And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

I don’t think anyone outside his circle knows wether he had lost his marbles or not, but he was in no way fit to president even at inauguration in January.
Very easy to say he's deluded or talking absolute nonsense but in no way is cognitive decline anyway resembling Biden who literally struggled with basic sentences. Trump is in front of the cameras daily and Biden done about 30 pressers in 4 years (long pause). There is a reason the Democrats finally had to switch up the candidate at the 11th hour.

Radio 5's Matt Chorley spoke with a journalist on the inside recently and he recounted episodes of Biden being confused and lost during the campaign trail, and of him being chaperoned / protected from the invited press at all times. They could only pose written questions and would later receive written answers.

There is a book out in July by a NYT reporter that is going to be at best, very damning.

But the question really isn’t about Biden who is consigned to the history books.
It’s about Trump four months into a four year term. Do you think he is getting ever more crazy or carrying out rational, thought out policy?

trouble is we did all this in his first term. there were psychiatrists doing diagnoses after watching him interviewed on tv and then writing articles declaring him to have various pathological conditions. i suspect the reality is that he has a pretty extreme personality in terms egotism, narcism and emotional instability. he's an extremely odd but, for lots of americans, very effective, communicator. i don't think he's all that different from the last time around and i'm not sure that pathologising his oddness makes much difference in practice.

Biden may have been senile but he wasn't malevolent. Trump is not mad, he just does mad things which makes it a lot more scary. While you are waiting for the Biden book to come out you can be reading this one. https://books.google.ie/books/

The title of the OP is a question. It’s based on the USA Today article’s opinion. It’s a question of is he becoming more irrational? Is he going senile?
I don’t know. The writer thinks he is, you think not.

quite, and i'm making the point that people said the exact same things 8 years ago. in that sense nothing has changed.

So, basically, Biden is Mick and Trump is Paul Lambert? That tracks.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

The headline is quite literally;
“Is Trump in mental decline? He sounds far worse than Biden ever did”
Which I responded to and disagreed with.
In terms of policy, the Trump playbook and communication hasn’t really changed since he walked down the escalator ten years ago. The difference in policy this time is that he has less road blocks and even more yes men around him. The only thing that can challenge Trump on (economic) policy is the market and in particular the U.S. bond market.
I’d actually say that he’s more of a wild card himself and can be impulsive. He has even reversed course before (see DACA) when the hardliners around him didn’t want him to.
Regardless, I think he’s just Trump with less DC lifers around him this time out.
Has Trump lost it? I could be persuaded either way. And that's the problem. He comes out with so much ridiculous stuff it is impossible to say whether in front of a crowd, a journalist or bashing away in the middle of the night on his 'Truth' platform. With the actions being carried out by the current US admin, can we say where Trump's decisions stop and the team's behind him start? There is an awful lot of devious, nasty sh*t being pushed through that must have some rational brain behind it. Note: rational, not sensible or reasonable.

Whilst I don't like his madness, I think there is a method to it which suggests to me he has not lost his marbles.
As it is, I feel his long speeches, sometimes described as rambling, could be said in some ways to represent what is known in literary criticism as a stream of consciousness.

So the question should be, "Is Donald Trump the new James Joyce?".
