[Putin-is-gay]

A paranoid person who says everyone is conspiring against him should not have nuclear codes or sharp knifes

[michelehemlokhexwhite]

The amount of psychiatrists and geriatricians that have warned about Trump's state of mind and psychiatric issues is astounding. And concerning.

[g.r.picard]

People need to stop blaming age and start testing for competency. If they do it for driving a car they should do it for driving the country.

[Martin-seij]

How is it I have to pass a test to drive a car but can drive a whole country without any tests whatsoever?

[TheBluepacker]

I have a friend who has dementia and is only 60. My grandmother, my dad's mom and my mom died from complications from Alzheimers. It's a terrible disease. When it comes to Trump and Biden I'll be voting for an 81 0ld man who is helping America instead a former President who will destroy America if he gets back into office. Something is definitely wrong with Trump and is getting more dangerous because of it.

[helanna]

My mom lived to be 100 and she was sharp as a tack until the day before she died. There is a misconception that the human brain always fails with age. Not always.

[pubwvj]

Too many people are confusing age with dementia. We do not need an upper age limit. What we need is a competency filter. Independent. Non-political.

[michellestaley]

My daddy is 91 and has dementia with Lewy bodies. A fancy way to say he is in the end stages and has crazy hallucinations. It is very sad to watch and difficult to manage.

[gjman]

I asked a Trump supporter if Biden is too old at 81 to be President and they said YES 81 is too old, then I mentioned Trump is 78 and will also be 81 if he got elected again and suddenly 81 wasn't too old

[blackwoodbat]

No matter how demented Trump gets he may never forget how to grift his supporters.

[RalphWhitehouse]

How is it that a person who has a felony can not vote or own a weapon, but he can run for president

[BrucePenton]

I took care of my mom with dementia/Alzheimers for the last 3 years of her life. I was her sole caregiver until the last 3 months when she stopped recognizing me and it became impossible to keep her safe. I recognize the difference between a person who is old, forgetful and slow, and a person who is suffering with dementia. Tump exhibits dementia with a massive amount of underlying ignorance.

[ThreeLittleBirds]

Evidently, the brain worm that died in RFK's brain died of starvation.

[y-ddraig]

It says an awful lot about the American fascists that trump is still their champion.

[DianeDies]

I’ve worked with dementia patients. Decisions for that person’s health should not be up to that person. Unsure why is that not easily understood.

[pwp]

Dementia would be the least of the problems with DT; amorality, venality, mendaciousness, paranoia, criminality, combined with the self-restraint and vocabulary of a 5 year old are bigger problems.

[ecbrown]

I’m not sure the Gettysburg thing was dementia, this is a person who might have literally never read an entire book. So who knows really?

[gwcstudio]

My mom has dementia and I have a brain injury. Trump's paraphasias and confabulations are scarily familiar.

[amycaruso]

why aren't neuropsych tests administered to all candidates?

[roberthurley]

If anyone had a relative exhibiting these behaviors there would be a family intervention. Total red flag. How could anyone think this guy is capable of being our President and have nuclear codes?!!!? And this is even putting aside his vile and cruel personality, that's another entire conversation.
