Left-wing media very much wants President Donald Trump to have dementia. At first, they began peddling this narrative to distract from former President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. Now, they are likely using it for a similar reason. The Insider published a so-called “investigation” into Trump’s supposed cognitive issues during his second term. It enlisted several mental health professionals to support their narrative. Dr. Bandy Lee, formerly of Yale University, claimed the president is showing clear signs of early dementia. These signs include reduced vocabulary, incoherence, impulsivity, and “paraphasias,”

This is not surprising. What Alinsky rule is it, I forget?…accuse your enemies of what, in fact, you’re guilty of.
The commiecrat/left are relentless, and they will never give up.

When you have nothing of value to offer, all you can do is attack those who do. Simpletons…

It's not even a new idea. They tried a couple of times during the campaign without success to try to paint DJT in mental decline. Nobody bought it because we all knew they were trying to project Dementia Joe onto Trump. But because they've got nothing else, and because they're mental retards, they keep picking that same piece of schiff up from the ground and throwing it against the wall desperately hoping it sticks this time. It's still not going to work, but it's likely not the last time they'll try to play that card. They really are pathetic creatures.

Youtube doctors video of President Trump to make him look like he's sleeping in meetings or stumbling over his words. No one is buying this. Woke/liberal is a mental illness.

I am not a big Trump fan. I am also not a never-Trumper. He can be impulsive and ham-handed. He can also be amusing and he has political courage. I have voted for him because he has run against three of the worst Democratic candidates in my lifetime. If I saw the slightest hint of dementia, I would not hesitate to say so. Love or hate him, his style is sui generis. He is simply Trump being Trump. I love thot he does not give a rat’s behind about pleasing the woke and intellectually dishonest press.

Joe was obviously mentally unfit.
Trump is obviously VERY mentally sharp.
Dems are morons and think we are morons, too. We are NOT.

Sure. Because dementia patients always hold live 2 hour off the cuff press conferences every day.

They did that in his first administration too... they have NO political capital left, now that they did the massive gaslighting coverup for Senile Joe. They just sound foolish even speaking about it.

Some time ago the Democrats used the strategy of turning everything around on Republicans. No matter what they were guilty of, in interviews and speeches they would always turn attention away from their sins by harkening to some imaginary Republican failing. Now, it’s not just “Republicans” “right-wing” but also Trump, MAGA and white people. It was banal and tiresome 15 years ago. Now it’s just worn and desiccated.

Just like acockroach, Bandy Lee (for a fee, of ourse) comes out of the woodwork to give another of her canned left-wing faux "analyses" of PDJT. Unethical, but what are ethics to this two-bit hack?
She should be locked up somewhere for the good of our country.
BTW, what is her opinion of Joe Biden?

"On June 20, Lee lost her appeal in federal court against a lower court ruling that upheld Yale’s decision of 2020 not to renew her courtesy appointment as a clinical professor. The reasons for the Yale decision are both technical and substantive. Lee was not a regular faculty member, so she could not appeal to academic freedom or even full-time employment protections. She had become a nuisance at Yale because of her repeated violations of the basic rule of psychiatry, namely that one should examine a “patient” before delivering a diagnosis, even if they are a public figure."
So even Yale gave her the boot.

More from that American Mind article (I could not find a date but presume it was some time since 2021. It is well worth a read.
If there was a moment when the secret anti-democratic sentiments of the American academic and scholarly establishments threatened to go mainstream, it was Bandy X. Lee. But adherents to democracy should not rest complacent. Lee’s mindset reflects a growing drift in the American elite from the core English liberal values on which this nation was founded. These include respect for the common man, the rule of law, constitutionalism, fair play, formal equality of political and legal status, and unconstrained speech and debate. In a lengthy analysis of Lee in 2021, I attributed the illiberal (and very un-English) content and style of her anti-Trump advocacy in part to the distinctly Korean cultural phenomenon of minjung millenarianism. In a nutshell, this ethos elevates everyday challenges of a plural society into world-historical evils threatening mankind which can be scotched only by the timely intervention of scholar-sages who descend from their contemplation in the mountains to correct the vices and immorality of the masses.
After my article was published, Lee wrote to the journal demanding that the article be removed and threatening a lawsuit. The editors demurred but invited her to submit a letter or a response article. She declined, saying the article was not worthy of a response. She then said she was part of a group of academics planning a class-action suit against conservative publications that criticize the behavior of academics like herself. We have heard nothing since

I think the average voter can be swayed by enough propaganda, IF they believe their MSM TV, but even the toady media has to leak a little bit of this insane backing of murders and gang members from feces lands, by EVERY demorat. That sort of death wish thinking, has normal people backing away and supporting or taking another look at President Trump and his cabinet. So, bring on every weird, hysterical woman or mental case man pretending to be a woman. It helps us. You had a party and promotions for ugly, old, men in dresses and wigs, the rest of us were horrified.

Donald Trump's mental problems are an overabundance of courage and the desire to make America great by keeping the insane in their places, other countries on a level playing field and the criminals in jail. I hope he gets crazier.

All of a sudden the Democrats have become aware of the malady their glorious leader has and refused to recognize. That leader of course is Joie Biden. He spent four years destroying our country and they let that happen. Now, becasue President Trump loves out country, they are trying to diagnose him with dementia. I would love to see our President take these fools on in a debate to show them who is smarter than they are.

Ever since Clinton was impeached, the dems have been insane. They were looking for any reason to impeach Bush to get republicans back. They couldn't find any. They went to Plan B. Get everything set in place so that when the next republican came into office they'd impeach him. Bingo. They hit the jackpot with President Trump. A majority in the House led by San Fran Nan. A DOJ headed by Merrick Garland. An FBI director and FISA court judges to spy on the President. The list goes on and on. Now that they look like fools for supporting "sharp as a tack" Biden, they're doing everything they can to make Trump out to be a feeble, demented old man to make sure republicans aren't 'one up' on them.

The left is absolutely pathetic. I don't recall them signing letters and running to the propaganda media complex to make these same claims about Dementia Joe!!
