Trump's Dementia

Lawrence O’Donnell explored this shocking exchange on his show the other night.

Reporter: Who ordered the pause in weapons shipments to Ukraine?

Trump: "I don't know. Why don't you tell me?"

Surfered: Someone made a significant foreign policy change and the President of the United States wasn’t in on it. Who’s running the country?

REPORTER: “Yesterday you said you were not sure who ordered the munitions ordered to Ukraine. Have you figured it out?”

TRUMP: “I haven’t thought about it.”

Surfered: Holy Cats! Foreign policy changes are being made without his knowledge and he doesn’t seem to care?

REPORTER: “What does it say that such a decision could be made without you knowing?”

TRUMP: “I would know. If a decision was made I will know.”

Surfered: But the day before, he said he didn’t know?! He’s obviously demented.

As long as he can yell and swear, even if it’s incoherently, nobody who doesn’t already care about his state of mind will care.

He clearly has dementia or Alzheimer's or whatever you want to call it, but Trump is mentally compromised. I venture to say that if any of us demonstrated the lack of clarity, understanding, competence and reasoning in our past or present jobs, we'd be deemed unsuitable, perhaps a threat, and we'd be fired. He is a clear and present danger to this country.

My god, it seems the more you screw up, the higher up the chain of command you can ascend.

Nope, just checked Google News and NOTHING about this.

Imagine the shrieks and headlines in ANY Democrat would have similar exchanges.

Kudos to Lawrence, but he's hardly enough.
