He shouldn’t or be allowed to run again. Nobody 75+ should be president
Age, in this case, shouldn’t be what’s stopping him. Something, something constitution.
That too

So he's not a neurologist and not qualified to talk about dementia, or he's just stated what is pretty fucking obvious.
And how are you qualified to talk about medical qualifications? That's just like your opinion, man!
He's been having rapid worsening decline for the last 3 years.
I guess "YouTuber uploads new video" isn't as attention grabbing but it feels more accurate. The guy's got a channel where he speculates on current events in politics and noteworthy criminal cases. He'll release another video about the signs of Trump's mental decline next week too, because he does one every week.
There was some guy who said that Trump was decompensating and would be dead in 6 months. Well over a year ago. They'll do or say anything for views.
I don't disagree, but I've also been wondering how much very high quality medical care is throwing off those guesses
So when are yanks going to do something about him?
These yanks?
"I shit my pants in support of trump"
That lady probably.
We’re set up as a “constitutional republic” with a senate that has disproportionate representation and no ability to recall anyone like your parliamentary system. We get stuck with elected officials for their full term and justices for life. We’ve suffered a coup where a minority party took power from the gerrymandering of districts. Yes, our system is stupidly designed and too many people buy into the “sanctity” of our constitution, when it could just be rewritten.
But that requires a convoluted process that an overwhelming majority of the states would have support.
Protesting in the streets does next to nothing against the entrenched fascist government. They don’t respect the law or the lives of people that oppose them.
If you’re hinting a violent revolution, that’s not happening unless there’s widespread starvation. Fear keeps people in check. Don’t forget about 30% of the population still love Trump. I don’t think a bunch of college kids are going to become guerrilla warriors against a sophisticated military with superior communication and satellite imagery at their command.
So people are frustrated and the only outlet most have is online. At least venting about it feels good. We’re mostly powerless to change here, unfortunately.
Our only chance for change is when the turd dies. Well, maybe. Trump is just a useful puppet for the heritage foundation, Israel and the corporate oligarchs. When one goes down, a hundred are ready to take his place .
Don’t worry though. In decades, climate change will disrupt the global food supply badly, people will blame their respective governments, and we’ll see mass violence and chaos. All civilizations eventually collapse.
Yeah the system as it is right now is basically set up that the only way anything changes is through some type of economic collapse. Personally I suspect that everything is set to fail in the US at this point but nothing has set off the powder keg.
The prior generations also war and geopolitical shifts that pushed Europe and America leftwards. Fascism devastated Europe and efforts were focused on dismantling and suppressing right wing elements. Additionally, you had the Soviet Union, which provided a counterbalance to Western capitalism, and many countries liberalized their governments for fears of communism taking over.
If China is able to carefully shift towards more traditional Marxist socialism, while preserving the integrity of their economy, they will become the new threat to the West, that once again turns the tide against the rightward shift towards fascism and ultracapitalism. We need a second surge towards communism in the world.
Maybe it's because I'm a redneck who is ideologically derived from Jeffersonian democracy rather than Marxism but I severely doubt any traditional Marxist structured power would work as a counter. I think that the capitalist powers basically got lucky with the World Wars and the great depression since they basically worked to pave over a lot of the woes of industrialization that were starting to hit around 1910, but it turns out killing an entire generation on the western front is great for reducing unemployment in the future, then the depression cleaned up a lot of chaff and made businesses a lot less reckless, and WW2 leveled much of Europes industrial base which while it sucked did create a lot of work and allowed them to rebuild from first basics.
What I think were seeing is the inevitable collapse of a globally financialized economy running into actual baseline economic issues that it simply can't address due to its financialized structure. Frankly even if the Soviets had survived as a viable counter it at most wouldve been delayed because the seeds of the crop we witnessed were planted with the fallout of Nixon and fucking Reagan.
Also just a bit of context but derivatives of Jeffersonian democracy generally have much less focus on the whole Yeoman farmer thing and shift it instead into localized economic structures, basically corporations bad local businesses and co-ops good.
When all the other options have been exhausted
So sit on your asses and complain about the hecking orange CHEETO online with no end in sight. Got it
I was paraphrasing Churchill's quote "Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else."
Churchill....the guy who led a country through war then got turfed out?
That's the guy
Come on now. People kept saying all this sort of thing about Putin and he's still here. Hatred sustains them.
It's very funny to see Senators and Congressmen dropping like mayflies while the news fixates on a couple of guys who will likely live into the triple digits.
I don’t think Trump has 20 years, but he’ll probably live to forget to swallow like modern American Alzheimer’s patients are forced to do these days.
Alzheimer's care has come a long way. And presidents get access to the best health care in the world. Or, at least, they have historically. Idk wtf Trump has done to Walter Reed over the last ten years
There is no effective treatment for Alzheimer's. They will sell you expensive drugs approved by a corrupt FDA, but they don't actually work, or will cause brain hemorrhaging.
We just watched a relative with plenty of money starve to death (actually it might have been dehydration that officially did it) because assisted suicide isn’t legal in our area, at least not for Alzheimer’s. It was early onset, and relatively fast progression, but hospice only drugged her so it hopefully wasn’t as uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, I'm convinced Trump will live to be 102
Kissinger style
Who the fuck cares? Stop wasting your time with meaningless nonsense.
Play the game of politics and learn how to beat him, or stfu. This is just big-D Democrat nonsense. The world is not an ideal fairy tale, this does not matter one iota unless his base cares, which they very obviously don't.
Dr. John Paul Garrison, a licensed forensic and clinical psychologist, certainly cares. This gets his name into the news....
Forensic psychologist...
This dude's not a politician. He's presenting is professional opinions publicly about the leader of the US. Everyone should care about that. I for one love seeing posts like this. That he's doing is at some degree "playing the game of politics" because this person has specific skills, not as a politician, but he's using them to publicize a politicians state of being. You sound like you have a better road map for what this person should be doing instead. Care to elaborate on that?
No he's not, because actual medical professionals don't diagnose people at a distance.
The fact that he's claiming to while claiming he's a professional tells you that at least one of those two statements is false.
How do you beat him
Competent marksman?
In the words of Kyle Gass, next time don’t miss.
As an outside observer, it looks like either Obama could have, it looks like Sanders could have, it looks like Budigeg could, it looks like Mamdani could.
Run a real candidate against him with a coherent political view that's not just a bunch of big D Democrat nonsense.
Just to take two options off the list: under the current state of the constitution, Obama can't run for a third term, and Mamdani is not eligible for the presidency (being foreign-born).
I think what he meant was get a competent candidate with proven work and concrete ideas, focus more on class war rather than race war
With a piece of rusty rebar?
Beating Trump is like killing a single cancer cell in a huge tumor.
K, but you know that cancer itself starts from a single cell right?
Trump isn't the root cause is what I'm getting at. I forget not everyone handles metaphors well.
who specializes in body language
Yeah, but can we ask a phrenologist for a second opinion?
Fucking psychologists...we get it, you couldn't get into med school. At least a chiropractor gives a massage.
Is this dr. G? I’ve been blocking his stuff from yt since forever and now I’m exposed to him here.
As they say, only the good die young.
