The whole world saw Trump's cognitive collapse today

 

 

"Today, as the navy curtains parted, Trump emerged into view, confused, slow to react, like he wasn’t sure whether he was walking into a meeting or waking up from one. His arms hung awkwardly at his sides. His legs were rigid and slightly bent, like he didn’t know how far to walk or what direction he was supposed to go. His shoulders were hunched forward, his mouth was open as he struggled to take full breaths, and his eyes stared eerily forward, wide, blank, and unblinking. He didn’t seem aware of where he was or that he was once again stepping in front of the world’s leading business and government leaders.

Within minutes of the image being posted on social media, people identifying as healthcare workers were commenting under it. One said, “Those are dementia eyes. As a healthcare worker, I know them well.” Another posted, “I’ve worked in dementia care for 4 solid years; Jan 2018 to Dec 2021, I recognise a dementia patient, when I see a dementia patient, and I SEE A DEMENTIA PATIENT. He is standing there lost, bewildered & utterly confused!” Someone else added, “That is literally how my 86-year-old mother stands. She’s had multiple mini strokes. She walks hunched over and she wears diapers. I love her, but I would not let her near the White House.”"
