Does It Seem to You as Though Trump Has All His Faculties Intact?

Is he being rational in any sense? I don't think so, frankly, and it seems to be getting worse on an almost daily basis.

1. Hard for me to compare since he has always seemed bonkers to me.

2. No, he's definitely getting worse by the day.

I wish congress would reign his ass in.

3. Coming from a pessismistic viewpoint for this post: As long as he has the microphone and headlines,

he is winning more than losing.

Looking forward to changing my mind.

7. Unfortunately I have to agree with your assessment.

This demonic beast just grows more malignant and evil by the day. He seems to be increasingly deriving great pleasure and satisfaction from reeking chaos, exerting pain, and spreading misery. One could almost describe it as being giddy.

4. Nope.

I can't wait until his SOTU address. He's gonna be high as a kite, by then.

5. el gringo loco

el gringo loco has been mad as a meat ax for many years.

6. Megalomania (also known as grandiose delusions) can be a symptom of dementia, particularly in its middle to late stages.

"While paranoia is more common, some individuals with dementia develop grandiose beliefs, such as:
​Inflated self-importance: Believing they have special powers, immense wealth, or high-ranking status.
​False achievements: Claiming to have made famous discoveries or to know celebrities personally.
​Loss of inhibition: Frontotemporal dementia, in particular, can cause a loss of social filters, making a person appear arrogant or "selfish."
​These behaviors usually stem from physical changes in the brain that impair logic and self-awareness, rather than a choice to be difficult."
