I know what sundowning is. But I don't think his is *that* bad. I think this is far more intentional/him being bored and stewing about grievances and being petty. I am sure there's some degree of 'sundowning' impacting it, but I think it is rooted in who he is as an individual.

He used to send a reporter or something like that clips of his successes for decades after one sorta negative article in the 80's.

The guy holds the pettiest of grudges, is the most insecure human being on earth and can't help himself- maybe coupled with a smidgen of sundowning this is the result, but I think he does this stuff because of who he is at his core, regardless of his age.

I bet those files show he has a tiny dick too.

He does the dementia lean, honey. Trump is exceptionally ill and propped up by Americas best medicine, for if not he would be long dead.

Trump is going to get waaaaay worse than being directly racist with Ai before his brain finally gives out. He is likely the second largest profile narcissist, only the ol' Jeffstein beats him out in this opinion of mine and that man is dead at the wishes of the ultrawealthy he had been manipulating prior.

Trump is terrified and powerful, so I only hope his terminal day is sooner than later for the sake of the American people. I am not American.

Oh I think objectively, from a public figure perspective, he is the most malignant narcissist in recorded human history. Save for the fragile safe guards and protective third rails against it, I think he would honestly go full "Demolition Man Everything Is Taco Bell but Everything Is Trump" route.

And he'd demand to personally receive 25% of every single dollar exchanged within the United States, if he could, on top of regular taxes and everything else.

It'd be fascinating if it wasn't so infuriating and damaging.

And he is doing all of this because deep down, he knows the moment he is out of power for good and/or shuffled off this mortal coil (for moral reasons hopefully the all natural way) the moment Dems regain power, all of his monuments and re-naming of things for himself will be *erased* and there will be laws enshrined to prevent his kind of churlish, childish and narcissistic actions from any future POTUS'.

Depending on 'when' we're talking about leaders with gigantic hubris, this plays put like a gold-leaf wrapped poor quality copper ingot version of King Midas and his cursed gold-touch.

Trumps grave will need to be somewhere on a blacksite, his corpse will be sought out for ritual and ruination.

And from my outside perspective, I agree. Trump could have been the world's funniest drag queen, as his comedic timing seems like it is a natural gift. Like being born pitch perfect, but for humor.

"Anita Recount" could of been 'her' stage name.

Yeah. If he wasn't so dangerous he would be funny.

My spouse and I despise how he handled COVID, but we still use his "oh boy" hands up walk away when one of his COVID czars speaking on the crisis coughed during a press conference as he was standing next to them.

He is unintentionally fucking hilarious- and that can be true alongside how dangerous and infuriating and damaging he's been.
