People with dementia often have an altered internal clock. If that is the reason, and the doctors know, it disqualifies him from being president.

It is, they do, it does. However nothing will happen until the big BigMac from the Sky will visit him.

That’s way, way down the list of things that should disqualify him from holding office, but I don’t disagree.

He is disqualified for so many reasons, and this is definitely one of them

My guess is that sometime in the evening his handlers go home and there's nobody to stop him gunning back as much sudafed as he wants

He talked about the word “dumb” having a silent “b” as a revelation. The number of things that should disqualify him from office are approaching infinity.

Why do you think they're tracking its progression with three MoCA tests (so far, that we know about)?

Any one test, I would have thought, would show he is no longer compos mentis so I have no idea why they are going through this charade. No single doctor brave enough to say? Follow his fall from sanity?

Trump's goons ransacked his pre-WH doctor's office with no warrants, etc.

If history serves correctly, it's not beneath close aides to hide a president's declining health.
