has this exact same habit. Except he never picks anything up once he's done with it to dispose of it properly. But more than once I've had to go digging in the trash trying to find something he "probably" threw away.

Trump is so far into dementia you can no longer call it "early stages." Every day I contrast what he does with my hubby's actions of the day. Without fail, trump is so much further down the scale of dementia that I praise my hubby for what he, himself, as accomplished during the day.
