Election 2024

Editorial:

Donald Trump’s cognitive decline becoming a troubling concern​

Donald Trump’s racism, sexism, xenophobia and penchant for corruption have long made him unfit for any public office, let alone the presidency. But as he continues his bid for a second term in the White House, there is an unsettling and undeniable shift that is leading many experts, observers and even some Trump supporters to conclude that the former president’s mental acuity and sharpness are also in decline, that his physical health and stamina are waning and that his frustration and anger are boiling over.

Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump’s words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness.

There’s no need to resort to armchair psychology to interpret what’s apparent. If victorious, Trump would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. In recent weeks, he has canceled an increasing number of public appearances, with Trump’s own campaign citing the candidate’s exhaustion. When he does appear publicly, Trump struggles to complete sentences or sustain coherent thoughts, and has shown a pronounced difficulty concentrating and a tendency to repeat himself, sometimes within the same sentence.

At a recent rally in New Hampshire, for example, Trump began to ....

How much of this is age, meaning result of something a good night's sleep can't fix,
and fatigue from a challenging campaign, from which a few days rest may prove therapeutic?


Like the difference between lightning, and the lightning bug:

"... as president of the United States I will be a president for all Americans, whether you vote for me or not." VP Harris 24/10/30 CBS

"I wanna protect the women of our country." "I'm gunna do it whether the women like it or not." Trump Green Bay, WI 24/10/30 CBS

Almost similar?

This is verbatim from his closing message in crucial North Carolina:

"When I say insane asylums, and then I say, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, does anybody know? They go crazy they say, oh, he brings up these names out of - well, that's genius, right, Doctor Hannibal Lecter. There's nobody worse than him. Silence of the Lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory but they always hit me. I don't bring it up too much because they have to take such a - he brought up Hannibal Lecter. What does that have to do with this? What is it? It has everything to do with it, right? He was - that’s who we are allowing into our country and we can’t allow it in our country. So I've done something for you for you that I haven't done in 20 speeches, I brought up Doctor Hannibal Lecter and we're allowing him, you watch, you watch these fake people will say again, he brought up Hannibal Lecter has absolutely nothing to do. You know I do the weave, right, the weave it’s genius. You bring up Hannibal Lecter, you mention insane asylum. Hannibal Lecter. You go out, now there'll be a time in life where the weave won't finish properly at the bottom and then we can talk. But right now it's pure genius hey, I have an uncle, my uncle, Uncle John, my father's brother, 41 years at MIT longest serving professor has so many degrees he didn't know what the hell to do with them all in the most complicated, I understand a lot of this stuff, you know, I believe in that. Like, I mean, Jack Nicklaus is not gonna produce a bad golfer. Right you know, that's the way it works it's just one of those things and it's in the family and it's whatever.”

- Makes sense to us Donald ! - as the horde of Trump voters barge to the polls in support.

All we have to do is beat them.

Vote Harris / Walz ! Then, enjoy a generous sip of a refreshing adult beverage.

I don't feel so good.

U.S. presidential history recap:
The Republican party (GOP) had not put any of its candidates into the white house by popular vote in the new millennium. SCOTUS' Bush v. Gore installed President GWB [R-"TX"].
The electoral collage installed President Trump over the popular choice, Secretary Hillary Clinton.

At long last the GOP has come through, beating the Democrat team by over 50 electoral college votes. source: https://www.foxnews.com/elections

The candidate that won an unfettered victory? A convicted felon. A candidate members of his own cabinet have declared unfit for the office.
There are a variety of lowlights to this impending Republican administration.
- tax cuts for the rich
- Trump tariffs crippling consumer markets
- jeopardized NATO membership (while Russia is at War in Europe)
- numerous etc.

The glimmer of hope? Donald Trump has frequently refused or failed to make good on his campaign commitments.

Keep an eye on Musk & Kennedy in the 2nd Trump administration, the United States of Trump.

"When the President [of the United States of America] does it, that means it is not illegal." President Richard M. Nixon

"Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of Liberty at home will be charged to dangers real or imagined from abroad." James Madison

"If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us." Francis Bacon 1561 - 1626

"recrudescence" #591

Recrudescence derives from the Latin verb recrudescere, meaning "to become raw again" (used, for example, of wounds). Ultimately, it can be traced back to the Latin word for raw," which is "crudus." (If you suspect that "crude" is also derived from "crudus," you are correct; another well-known descendant is "cruel.") In its literal sense, "recrudescence" is a medical word denoting a renewed outbreak of a disease. In extended use, it most often describes the return of an undesirable condition, such as a war or a plague, or the return of an undesirable idea. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/recrudescence

from TikTok, allegedly a potential threat from China:

Published March 13, 2024
Recent legislation in the House of Representatives highlights the discussion of national security risks from the use of TikTok have identified three potential sources of danger. The first is that TikTok is part of a nefarious Chinese government influence operation designed to sway U.S. politics. The second is that TikTok can be used to collect personal data on Americans. The third is that voluntarily downloading TikTok onto phones or devices allows for the injection of malicious software by China. https://www.csis.org/analysis/tiktok-and-national-security

There may be room for speculation about the future. There's little if any ambiguity about Trump's campaign commitments, or his 4 year executive history.

Is TikTok a ChiComm instrument?
In this case, does it matter?
