Feb 2024

Excerpted these observations about Trump from an interview with a psychiatrist on TPM:

"It’s well known within the mental health field that dementia is often missed in the setting of patients who express anger and are explosive in general...maybe having to do with the incorrect assumption that anger shows a level of higher cognitive functioning...The common view of dementia is confusion and a kind of passivity...anger is perceived as action and intention...the contrary of dementia or cognitive fade."

"When you look at Trump now, how he talks, how he communicates on social media, it’s way more untethered and wild than anything we saw in the 2016 era...For a long time I saw this as he's just more pissed...Losing the election was a massive ego injury and now he could end his life in prison...when I watch him it seems like a major component of it is that sort of cognitive decline disinhibition."
