If your uncle forgot simple words and was called out by professionals in the mental health field who believed he should be submitted to an involuntary evaluation, you would quickly get him the help he so badly needs. Now, if that same individual was the “president” of the United States, thus giving him the power over the nuclear button, then you would be in panic-mode. Well, that’s where we’ve been since 2016, when a septuagenarian raging narcissistic man with no moral compass was elevated to the highest seat in the land.
CNN’s Daniel Dale, a fact-checker, claimed on Twitter that Trump is struggling to remember dates.
Trump told Fox last week that Mark Zuckerberg congratulated him when Zuckerberg was in the White House “two weeks ago.” Facebook clarifies, again, that Zuckerberg hasn’t been there since October. (Intentionally or not, Trump habitually moves events much closer to the present.)

Dale continued in a follow-up tweet to say that he first noticed the “president’s” inability to recall dates in 2018. At that point, Dale said, Trump had already misstated a date or time at least 51 times.
Trump gets dates wrong so often that I wrote about this in April 2018. At that point, he’d misstated a date or time at least 51 times since taking office. https://t.co/1GEmkIIDZk

It’s because he loses so much time. Days and weeks to him are getting more blurred due to his dementia. To him everything just happened.🤷🏻♀️I’m not a doc but I saw this with my Mom. Eventually he will only remember what happened years ago.

That’s also a sign or symptom of Alzheimer’s.

When will someone close to Trump finally going to admit he has dementia?

Narcissism is a me me me disorder. It does and says what is beneficial at the time indifferent to truth or reality. It’s a disorder that should not be in the Oval Office making serious decisions that concern other people. Lack of empathy is another symptom of this problem.

A major sign of cognitive decline is the inability to judge time.

A family member of mine suffered from Alzheimer’s, and I knew a narcissist once. Now, imagine a narcissist who suffers from dementia as the leader of the free world — because that’s where we are, apparently. My aunt died, and I expelled the narcissist from my life since there is no cure, and I’m not a fucking masochist. The question is, though, are Americans tired of being abused to the point of voting him out in 2020, or has the Stockholm Syndrome taken effect?
