    He didn’t diagnose him, he said his behavior is consistent with a diagnosis of dementia. Stating your informed opinion =/= diagnosing. His rapid decline is obviously some sort of degenerative cognitive illness (aka dementia). Anyone with relevant training/experience can see it at this point

      Yeah but you could probably find a psychologist to say that about most people.

      I mean I hate trump and I hope he does have dementia but one psychologist’s opinion isn’t particularly reassuring. Trump has always rambled a lot. If he were forgetting where he is while on camera or whatever that would be a big deal, but we’re not there yet obviously.
