September 3: On This Day In 2019

Those closest to Trump have warned for several years that Trump isn’t quite “all there.” OTDI 2019, his former Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said that Trump was “obviously in mental decline,” and wondered why his staff wasn’t doing more to protect or help him. Scaramucci only served for 11 days as his official advisor, but that’s all it took for him to see the real Trump.
He later called Trump “the domestic terrorist of the 21st century.” And, in other interviews: “crazy,” “narcissistic,” “off the rails,” and a “grifter” who behaves in a “sociopathic” manner. Recently, he’s been saying he wouldn’t be surprised if Trump drops out in these next few weeks.
It’d be scary enough if just Scaramucci was saying such things. But, actually, dozens of others are alerting Americans that Trump has lost significant mental agility since he first started running 9 years ago. Here, for starters, are a few:
"'He's losing his s---': Trump's advisers are increasingly worried about his mental state following days of erratic behavior"
"He's deteriorating in plain sight," one Republican strategist who is in frequent contact with the White House
“Ex-Trump Official Says WSJ Should Cover Trump Mental Acuity Next” (Why does the Rupert Murdoch media (FOX, WSJ, NYPost, etc...) focus on Biden's slips without caring about Trump's?)
“Trump keeps losing his train of thought.” (This includes a statistical analysis of his speech patterns)
"Stable Genius Trump Gets Brutal Verdict on Mental State in New Poll. Voters increasingly don’t think Donald Trump is up to the task of being president."
Here’s a video: “Trump cognitive decline increasingly difficult to conceal despite setting low bar”
“Donald Trump Dementia Evidence 'Overwhelming,' Says Top Psychiatrist”
“Donald Trump has 'dangerous mental illness', say psychiatry experts at Yale conference”
“‘Evidence of the President’s Mental Incapacity is Overwhelming’: Mental health experts and Trump’s biographers are warning that he is dangerously unfit for office.
Here’s a video from George Conway’s PsychoPac.org “Donald Trump has never, ever been right in the head”
“Watch: Embarrassing Video Reveals Trump’s Alarming Cognitive Decline: Donald Trump’s memory issues seem to be growing by the day.”
When the Dems were faced with this situation, their candidate stepped down. The GOPers seem to be taking a different approach.
