While Trump's mesmerized legions cling to his vindictive rhetoric and his political cronies offer their support to retain power, many Americans impatiently wait for criminal convictions to derail his re-election campaign. But nature may be offering her own solution.
Trump's recent public ramblings and overt signs of confusion may be early evidence of dementia. Some suggest that these episodes merely reflect the stress of his legal problems but stress does not cause dementia. Rather, signs of cognitive decline are often first evident during stressful periods.
Cynics might suggest that talk of dementia is a political ploy and most of Trump's followers will surely try to ignore his confusion. But, while family and friends attempt to shield celebrities from public scrutiny as dementia develops, those relying on Trump can only offer excuses. Nature may sink their ship before the justice system does.
