"Quiet, Piggy!" as a sign of dementia

[struggle4progress]

Dr. John Gartner, joins Joanna Coles to break down what key moments reveal about Donald Trump’s cognitive decline. From trouble saluting at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to odd noises at a McDonald’s event, Gartner explains patterns of psychomotor decline, word salad, and disinhibited behavior. They discuss how stress, existing personality issues, and potential dementia intersect, offering a rare psychological lens on the president’s bizarre behavior. This episode peels back the curtain on what’s really happening inside Trump’s brain.

1. The word salads have been going on for a long time ...

... long before Chump ran for president in 2015.

Chump was spouting word salads back in the 90's, and maybe earlier. Just ask Tony Schwartz, the REAL author of "The Art of the Deal." Mr. Schwartz has revealed the ordeal he went through trying to write that book, when Chump could never focus long enough to answer any questions.

He's got the attention span of a 5-year-old. I'm sure it's worse now, but it was already evident 30 years ago.

3. Unless he's talking about himself, he has the attention span of a goldfish.

Apologies to goldfish.

2. My dad's mind is sharper at 90 than Trump's appears to be at 80.

I think these tools use voice to text, which is not good.

But you can't skim audio.

Stroke? I am NOT a physician, but if this ain't stroke, then what?



Bags under the eyes say heart attack.

8. Bell's Palsy?

I'd think that if the drooping was a stroke symptom, it wouldn't just go away.

9. He looks like my gran did

As she was dying of Lewy Body dementia.

5. A demented bully pulls out childish insults wrapped in the authoritarian attitude of his hateful personality

6. Maybe he'll just fucking die already.

7. This "piggy" thing might be Trumps Waterloo.

10. Trump is ill and unable to control himself

11. From all appearances, he has never had any impulse control.

12. For my part, I would very much like him to shit himself.

Shit himself so prodigiously that it is noticeable and can't be ignored by the press. To complete the picture, upon noticing (belatedly) that he shat himself, he should get a blank look on his face and reach into his pants - pull his hand out and sniff it. It would really be delightful if this were to happen in front of visiting dignitaries. Hard to 'splain' that away.
