More evidence of the cognitive state of Trump

As you know, Hamas has given us back numerous bodies. It sounds pretty gruesome, but it’s something the parents want — more than if their son had been living, hard to believe. I’ve seen all of the parents, so many of the parents — and getting back the body of their son, their dead son, is as vital to them, as important to them as if the boy was — generally, the boy — the boy was alive, and as you know in the last four or five days, we’ve gotten a lot of the additional bodies that they said they were going — they worked very hard to do that.
I was very ready to move Biden out to pasture as he was a cognitive mess, but increasingly I can only hope Trump gets 25th'd. He is not in a good place to be in charge of the nuclear codes.
I'm so sure the Israeli parents prefer receiving the remains of their sons over their living son. It is indeed hard to believe.

Nah. No need to. I listened to this gibberish in real time yesterday.
What’s posted is exactly what he said and no preceding context was left out.
The BBC was wrong to do what they did, just as it’s bizarre to deflect on a consistent basis when Trump says or takes a position that is obviously not correct.

Deep State has succeeded in (temporarily) wearing out Trump
Nov 11, 2025, 8:06 PM
|
|
Trump is expressing himself as a person who is exhausted, but is too proud to admit it. Impulse control … always a weakness of his … is now out of control.
He needs to take a vacation. No one deserves it more than he. Eight and one half years of constant barrage from Deep State bureaucrats and their ‘law enforcement’ apparatus, along with back-stabbing by Republicans who posed as being his policy allies, would have killed or driven away nearly every other human being. Yet, to the incredulity of Trump’s innumerable Deep State enemies and their crony capitalist minions, Trump survived the LawFare and endless attempts to embarrass his family and became a second term president.
His enemies were of the ‘now is the time to win at all costs’ philosophy; wearing him out was one of their consolation prizes. I think they have succeeded in this endeavor, albeit only temporarily.
That said, he is behaving as an exhausted person who (correctly) understands that mountains of work is needed to partially reverse the seditious horrors that the Obama administration had sown and that the Biden administration had (attempted to) pull off.
He needs time to rest. I hope someone in his family can convince him to do so now.

The BBC pieced together parts of Trump’s speech that day to show what he truly wanted. Trump wanted his mob to storm the Capitol. He wanted them to keep him in power by any means, including murdering Pelosi, Pence, and everybody else. The f*cker watched it on TV and giggled the whole way through. The editing was deceptive in some ways, but in other ways it is more truthful than Trump himself will ever be.

He can’t put coherent thoughts together, and has no grasp of reality. He’s at about the same level of mental decline as Biden, he just has a lot more energy.

Biden was just senile - Trump is not as senile as Biden, but he's crazy. It's like if the hardest-right leaning troll was elected President.

Trump is behaving as an exhausted man.
His unbelievable physical vitality is outlasting his mental ability to control his impulses.
I pray that his family can reach him and convince him to take a vacation.

Re: Unbelievable Physical Vitality

Teddy Roosevelt was fat, yet he also had incredible physical vitality.
Unless a person was alive back when Dwight Eisenhower was president, no one in TNet has ever seen such an active man with such a high level of mental acuity.
Remember when Trump was starting his speech at the UN when (circumstantially … ha ha, right) the teleprompter went down? Trump noted it, and then went on to deliver a good speech. I think he had a note card or two (maybe or maybe not), but no printed speech from which he could read.
No other president since Y2K had dared to go forward with an extensive speech without teleprompters.
Find me just one such non-Trump president’s off-the-cuff speech … no teleprompters … since Y2K and I’lltake it back.
The other is the nearly daily (often more than nice per day) impromptu interviews that Trump gives to reporters when he’s going somewhere or returning from somewhere. He gives substantial answers that pertain to the topic. No rehearsal. No handlers. He answers the questions.
The extremely large numbers of Trump’s accommodation of reporters’ questions in impromptu environments has never been seen before. Of course, when the data set (number of interviews and press conferences) is large, the number of mistakes that can be chronicled will also be large when compared to ‘highly handled’ previous presidents such as GWB, Obama, and Biden.
Context matters.

He is very active physically especially for a man his age.
However he rambles incessantly from one topic to another with no common thread often.
JD Vance is an example of one who communicates well and very lucidly whether you agree with him or not.
Trump is not a good communicator though I do give him credit for engaging with the media, especially after what we witnessed with Biden.
He just spews a lot of BS such as potentially lowering drug costs 1500%.
He needs to use the teleprompter much more not less.
I’m not impressed with his mental acuity unless you’re comparing him to Biden.

not. She got thrown when the timeline started over, but from someone's point of view.
I definitely thought about - "What if this was Trump and Hegseth involved in this?" - and shuttered. Of course, the most incompetent person in the movie was The President - so maybe it was realistic. 
I was OK with the ending - I took it as "There is no good ending to this scenario"

which I thought made the whole movie pointless in terms of what, as a viewer, I'm supposed to take away from it. Was it like you said, that there's no "right" choice he could make? Well, duh, lol. Everyone knows it's the worst choice to have to make for any person and that there's no good answer. It's the whole psychology behind why M.A.D works as a deterrent and what movies like 'WarGames' taught us in the 80s while at the same time giving us an actual ending. (side note: How amazingly prescient and modern does WarGames still feel with the idea of AI being even more present today?)
Maybe it's me, but going into watching the movie, the ONE thing I was expecting was a concrete ending to the ticking bomb scenario, so to have it be just one big rug pull? I was left hugely disappointed. It basically just became a movie about the process leading up to the decision, which I find considerably less interesting.
The changing of points of view was interesting, but it ended up just as a way to pad the runtime. There was very little added in terms of plot or even characterization. We get such small details about the people's lives that it's just basically people looking at one another through their screens. (the Secretary of Defense killing himself b/c his daughter was going to die was the most impactful, but not sure it was really "earned")
I haven't had a movie confuse me for why it exists like 'House of Dynamite' has in a LONG time, lol. And all because of the ending.

how could it have ended? If they told us which choice the Prez made - then we're still left with "OK, what happened next?"
I guess they could have left us with the Prez showing restraint and then it being discovered it was just a single rogue who shot the missile.
The point of showing the details of people's lives (IMHO) was to show that no one was going to behave completely as expected and by-the-book as it was assumed.
Yeah - I liked it - didn't like the ending. And also - yes - WarGames was way ahead of its time.

What was the theme or story they wanted to tell? As a viewer, I'm not sure what intrigued them about the story other than the procedural aspects of what would happen if there were a launch today. I agree that's somewhat interesting, but it's not a story.
Perhaps they'd argue that by leaving the question unanswered at the end, it leaves it open to interpretation, allowing the viewer to consider the decision they'd make. But, I'd argue the viewer is already doing that for the entire runtime of the movie. The reason we are watching is to see what the director/writer's answer to that question is, or to possibly explore the consequences of making a choice. Instead, we get nothing. We're left feeling the same way as before we watched the movie.
And I know I'm ranting, but it's mainly from being confused on what the point of the whole thing was because of the ending. I really liked the movie up until that point.
As for what I would have done with the ending, I'd have the President make a choice (even if it's just saying some technical set of numbers/letters from the book he was making his choice from), at least then we could try to figure out/wonder what the jargon means and what the choice was. It's not that far from what they did, but at least it serves as more of a completion to the story. We SEE the President make a choice even if we don't know exactly what it is.
P.S. The other way I'd be okay with the ending is if there was a sequel that went into the consequences of the choice he makes.

Uuuhh.? What? What does Trumps obvious mental decline have to do with dead Israelis coming home? You completely failed to link the 2 ideas. Trump is an Israeli owned ######. We get that. You just typed a bunch of #### about dead Israeli hostages and then talked about Trumps mental decline. How are the 2 related?

So, you’re basically retarded too? Your title said more evidence of the cognitive state of Trump(I agree Trump is a ######). Then you post an entire dialogue from Trump with out quotes or proper punctuation. You are also a ######. Then, you are crying about the dead Israelis. Who we fund entirely. They are the size of New Jersey, have no natural resources, and cause endless wars in the Middle East. Why did Hamas attack? How could such an attack happen to Israel? Did Hamas outsmart Israel?, Americas #1 ally with one of the best intelligence agencies on the planet?
Why are there groups like Hamas? I wonder if Israel had a role? Has Israel destabilized the entire Middle East? USS Liberty 1967. Quit being ####### stupid

Did you know that Israel ‘founded’ Hamas?
They did so to create a rival to Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO); way back when, the PLO was a bigger pain in the buttt than Israel could deal with using ‘conventional’ forms of fighting. So Israel created a rival ‘gang’ to fight the PLO for turf in Gaza.
PLO was defeated. Now, Israel is trying to kill off their very own Frankenstein’s monster.
So, here we are.

Did you have a bad experience at CHS recently?
I'm guilty as charged regarding quotes and punctuation.Please go back and carefully read your post if you want to get on an English Comp rant. You could use some editing as well.
Nowhere in the OP did I discuss my grief or lack of grief over the dead Israelis or the U.S./Israeli relationship.
I guess this sailed over you, so let me help you out.
Trump said the parents of the dead Israelis were perhaps more happy to get back the remains of their kids than if the kids had been returned alive.
Anyone who has children, making such a statement, is not firing on all cylinders.

It was stupid for Trump to say that, but how much did it really matter?
Everybody should be somewhat conditioned by now for Trump saying something really stupid, but generally innocuous as far as domestic or foreign policy is concerned, about once per week.
It’s not like his stupid comment led the surviving hostages to go back into captivity. It’s not as if the surfing hostages and their loved ones are mad at the guy who helped to extract the hostages via his diplomatic triumph.
In recent months, Trump has been exceeding his quota; two and sometimes three really stupid things said per week. That is one indication to me that he’s pooped but too (proud? filled with a sense of importance?) unaware to cool it a bit.
He needs a vacation to rest up and recharge the batteries.

Fabulous how it’s taken millions of Americans 40 years to figure out that Trump is a narcissist and a dirtbag.
Sure dementia is setting in right now, but this dude was a piece of trash human being in the 80s and everybody in the US banking industry and New York commercial real estate knew it.
All Ya’ll in rural merica votin for trump got no clue and done been hoodwinked by dirtbag from midtown.
It is impossible for him to have a respectable legacy. Can’t wait to see every one of the “Republican” politicians abandon him once he is no longer useful to them.
