"As I’ve watched the news of Trump’s progressively erratic statements, his confusion over which country’s land he wants to claim and colonize (Iceland, erm, Greenland), it is becoming increasingly obvious that his insatiable appetites are now being filtered through a mind that is malfunctioning.

I don’t take this observation lightly. I lived through caring for two parents with dementia."

"For many years, these appetites have threatened individuals, now, as he teeters at the brink of sense, distressing and shocking allies, he not only endangers our representative democracy, but he is destabilizing America’s place on the world stage."

For her blog, Sarah Stankorb reprises an essay she just published in DAME Magazine. It focuses on Leviathan as the proper image to understand Trump and his increasingly apparent dementia:

"Donald Trump’s appetites—for women’s bodies, for prizes and trinkets, for land (international norms be damned)—are insatiable."

"Let’s face it: The Donald doesn’t know what The Donald is going to do or say from one day to the next, so it’s hardly likely that anyone else will. He isn’t even sure if Greenland is Iceland. Hell, they’ve both got land in them. Watch out, England."

"and a legislative branch that has ceded its own Constitutional authority to rein in Donald’s worst impulses despite his blatant corruption, obvious mental decline, and clear desire to dismantle the post-World War II order for his own profit."

"Our allies lay the blame squarely at the feet of an American electorate that, with full knowledge of Donald’s incompetence, psychological unfitness, and megalomania, put him back in charge; a judicial branch, with the corrupt Supreme Court as its back-stop, that granted him virtually complete immunity and continues to expand the reach of his imperial presidency;" (continued in /21)

"He humiliates himself on an almost daily basis and often in the most public ways imaginable. It feels like a bit of cosmic poetic justice.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, his humiliation is ours. The rest of the world doesn’t see Donald as the problem."

"Given the perfect storm of his incompetence, increasing decline across several categories (the psychological, the cognitive, and the physical); and the sense that he is losing control—over himself and the narrative—and the desperation that goes along with that, it was perhaps inevitable that humiliation has come to stalk him at every turn."

"Instead, Tapper dismissed Trump’s multiple mistaken references to Iceland, saying, 'Trump clearly said Iceland. It’s not that big a deal. Why lie about it?'

Yes, Jake, it is a big deal."

In so many ways, Jake epitomizes what's seriously awry with legacy media: the arrogance, insularity, moral vacuity, elision of truth, cozying up to power and money. This is why many of us have stopped listening to the big pundits.

"Where is Jake Tapper when we need him? I hope he is feverishly working on his next book, which will detail Trump’s descent into dementia, claims that Tapper made about Biden in a wildly profitable book. Or, better yet, Tapper could just use his nightly news platform to report Trump’s rapidly deteriorating mental state. There is no time like the present, Jake."

'Trump embarrassed himself—and America--on the world stage at Davos. In a highly anticipated address, Trump stumbled and slurred his way through an incoherent stream-of-consciousness speech in which he repeatedly referenced Iceland (rather than Greenland), even as he surrendered his delusional quest to conquer Greenland."

Peter Rothpletz notes the obsessive focus of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on Biden's cognitive decline, and he then offers a list of crazy Biden statements that he claims Tapper and Thompson uncovered, which prove Biden's dementia.

But these are Trump statements, about which Tapper-Thompson have had absolutely zero to say….

"But it's also, you know... This idea that yesterday, the press conference yesterday, which went on for 80 rambling, delusional, crazy, mendacious minutes, and the utter humiliation of the United States at Davos on the world stage, as if, you know, suddenly, oh, wow, this is bad."

"The title of our talk today is Donald Davos and Dementia."

~ Dean Obeidallah

"I've got to tell you, one of the main reasons we're here is because of the normalization of his depravity, his corruption, and his serious mental illness. Obviously, it's worse now because Ten years have passed. There's that. And so he's older."

"It’s complete madness that this guy has the nuke codes and yet, with the exception of people like Mark Carney, too few leaders are willing to grapple with it."

"Don’t dismiss this as trivial: if any previous president had been that befuddled, the whole press corps would have been howling about senility and demanding that he step down.

And of course Trump’s press secretary insisted that he didn’t say what we all saw and heard him say."

"Donald Trump sounded like a fascist dictator suffering from a brain bleed during his speech yesterday at Davos. It was a national embarrassment even by the lowly standards of modern American politics. ... what we have here is an out of control wannabe autocrat who’s cognitively impaired, openly racist, and more eager than ever to use force against his perceived foes both at home and abroad."

"Canada’s leader is a sane adult. America’s leader isn’t. ...

Democracies can no longer maintain close ties with the U.S. The day after Carney spoke, Donald Trump showed why. ...

As the whole world watched, the president of the United States (God help us) repeatedly referred to Greenland, which he is willing to blow up NATO to acquire, as Iceland."

"No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous."

"And now he’s caved on tariffs and the markets stopped hemorrhaging, and Scott Bessent is just pretty sure this was all part of Daddy’s plan the entire time, because Scott Bessent is another Daddy’s boy with zero self-respect."

"'They called me daddy, right, last time. Very smart man said, "He’s our daddy. He’s running it.”'

He meant Greenland.

The president of the United States went on to give a virulently racist, insulting, rambling speech in which he complained that people call him a dictator but that 'sometimes you need a dictator.' More than anything, though, the speech demonstrated his mental unfitness for his position."

"At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this morning, a visibly exhausted president of the United States of America rambled in angry free association in a speech before the world’s leaders. At one point, speaking of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) dignitaries, he told the audience: 'Until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me.'"

"Karoline Leavitt tried to pretend that Donald Trump did not mix-up Greenland and Iceland in his speech at the World Economic Forum claiming that Greenland is just a 'piece of ice.'”

~ Aaron Parnas

Iceland, Greenland, Shmeisland, Shmeenland: who really knows or cares, right, Karoline? Since when did truth (or reality) matter, after all?
