      Clearly too far gone. The campaign trail is clearly exhausting him. In all these years full of bullshit, I’ve never seen anything like the last month.

        I hope we see him running in public in diapers, asking where his mommy is. worst part is he’d probably get a couple more votes out of it.

          His followers would just put on diapers and run through the streets with him. They’re too far gone.

    We took my grandmother out for her 80th birthday. Her dementia had progressed, but was still not too far along that we could still have conversations with her. She’d often forget who, where, or when we were and would frequently go on very charming, albeit confusing tangents.

    At one point on the car ride home, my sister tells her, “Happy birthday!” My grandmother asks, “it’s my birthday?” Giddily, my sister replies, “yes! It’s your 80th birthday!”

    My grandmother gets a sudden moment of lucidity and says, “I’m 80?? That’s terrible news!”

    Whether Trump is just saying shit or has forgotten his age, there’s no excuse for saying that he’s not that close to 80 where he comes out sounding okay. Then again, his supporters seem to want a racist Alzheimer’s patient for president…

        He also makes bank campaigning. That’s far more important to him than anything.
        He’ll never see a jail cell anyways.

          That’s also weird to me. As soon as i have enough money to feel kinda secure for the next few months, making more money is not a huge priority anymore. Other interests then become way more important. This too is not optimal, i know. But it always has been like this for me. I wonder why i’m missing the greed gene 🤔

      You can’t retire if you have never worked?

      Aah, that’s what the 15 minutes mc donalds was for.
