      Have you watched one of his speeches? And that’s when he’s supposed to be at his best AND reading from a teleprompter. It’s not just because he’s old.

          His dementia has increased with age. If he weren’t such an existential threat to our country, the world, the planet, and basic common decency I’d feel bad about regularly calling him a demented sociopathic orange rapist.

          Which does seem kinda weird now that I think about it.

          It’s naive to think our minds do not deteriorate with age. It can be slowed through effort and diet, or, like cheeto mousilini, it can be swift.

      Thankfully no one is holding normal old people to the standard of the United States Presidency. Except Trump, cause he’s old AF.

      but also I feel like this could affect people that we care about

      Hopefully it leads to those people getting the help that they need.
