I want to live in a world where this is just satire.

Jesus Christ...

Pretty sure it's real. There's actually tons of transcripts that read just like this, so even if this one isn't, it's totally on brand, without the slightest hint of exaggeration.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

Nobody knows anymore.

I’m still not convinced Trump isn’t just an elaborate 4chan prank that’s gone way out of hand.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 73 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maga kind of is. Trump himself isn't.

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

Trump is their puppet

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

Real talk, in 2016 I knew two assholes who voted for him to punk libs as a joke. So uh, kinda yeah.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 11 points 3 weeks ago

The qanon saga.. some are just nasty and don't know the difference between comedy because of social pathology

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Sort of. It’s the result of a very long history of the government using all of their resources to attack, discredit, destroy and infiltrate and person or group that is remotely left of the far right unaccountable colonialist capitalist subjugation. On 4 Chan that was the occupy movement and that was infiltrated and destroyed by our government yet the more dangerous Nazi’s and incels got a pass. This is because these hateful ideologies support and reinforce the oppressive system. Just more COINTELPRO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, it sure started like that, back in 2015-16.

Cooked his brain? It didn't even look at his brain. Didn't need to because he aced the tests, which you couldn't possibly do. His brain is as raw and fresh and smooth as the day he was born. I bet yours is all gross and old and wrinkly looking.

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

He got a "Rock hard brain."

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He probably got zero percent and the doctors said he aced them.

[–] human@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think he listens to what people tell him anyway. I think he just has the whole conversation in his head and then remembers it that way.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, those tests are super hard, only a big brain genius like Donald Trump can figure out questions like... *checks notes*... "Where are you and what day is it?"

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Couldn't see his brain because even modern MRI scanners don't have a high enough resolution

Trump managed to convince me in two sentences that his MRI was on his brain. He really does have a way with words.

He will never admit to what he sees as weakness. He painted himself into a corner there with how he constantly accuses Joe and Hilary of not being forthright about their health issues. He’s such a hypocrite.

His bragging about “passing” these cognitive tests makes me think the doctors have to make them into a game he can “win” or best others at just so he’ll take them. So even they are well aware he’s a stupid narcissist and know how to manipulate him.

My hot take is I bet Leavitt looked ashen that day because he had a heart attack and/or stroke right in front of Putin.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 3 weeks ago

This was a different kind of stroke he had in front of Putin than normal though.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

his is whole brain dementia.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

At this point, I would say almost all of the brain has been affected. Different types of dementia typically start in a few specific regions but then they spread.

Eventually everything breaks down.

I bet if we saw mri scans of his brain it would show 20-30% reduced gray matter (from healthy average 50 year old) with most significant alterations in the frontal cortex and temporal lobes. Atrophy in the hippocampus and other limbic organs.

It would take post-mortem review of the brain to fully access the damage. Probably some loss of mass in the cerebellum (controls balance and posture). Significant changes in the brain stem that controls arousal and sleep states.

Here is what I think is going to happen.

After Trump's gone. Suddenly the Republicans will admit he has dementia.

And we will all be expected to feel bad for poor ol trump.
He had dementia after all. A terrible medical condition. So sad.

Only a monster would make fun of someone with dementia. Only a monster would criticize a mans decisions that were made while he had a terrible brain disorder.

They will still make it out that no one knew. And that technically (and this is technically true) a certain diagnosis of any dementia can only be made post mortem. Even Alzheimer's. Because an biopsy examination is required.

But we can "highly suspect" specific dementias while the person is alive.

To clarify I'm not "making fun" of him for having dementia. I'm pointing out he has dementia and the consistent evidence.

He's not even in charge. He's a puppet. What things he is actually doing is destroying the white house. Building ball rooms. He isn't in charge of much else. Not even the tariffs. Someone else is telling him to do that. Think about it. You think he's looking up trade deficit numbers? You think he even knows the names or locations of half the countries he put tariffs on?

He doesn't even know where he is or what is going on in the world.

Although dementia (any of them) is a terrible horrible thing for a human to have. And it's not something I would wish on others.

Sometimes, I do ask myself:. If someone did deserve it ..... ?

Unfortunately though. we get the fallout.

But I do want to be clear. He is a puppet right now.

Any shit going down right is the men around him. Miller. Mikey. Hegseth, The project 2025 guy. The antichrist guy. Anyone else with access to him.

He can be swayed by anyone who flatters him, and asks for his autograph on important papers.

These handlers let him have his little distractions like decorating his ballroom.

But they are running everything else. Trump is at a point he is incapable of following any kind of questions or thoughts.

He's much worse than people realize. I worked in Alzheimer's research. You wouldn't believe how many times family members would bring dear old gramps in , saying "he seems to be struggling a little bit with remembering things" and we would do testing and dear old gramps couldn't figure out how to fold a piece of paper and put it in an envelope (that's a real part of cognitive tests). It was very sad to see and I always felt so much empathy for those people and their families coming to terms with how much decline had happened.

My point is. On the surface it may only look like he's slightly impaired but I'm telling you it's severe. The word salad is enough evidence for that. The wandering around also comes when the condition is moderate to severe.

I don't feel empathy regarding Trump. Only sadness that so many are suffering because of power hungry losers. Who are also not even that smart. Using Trump like a "weekend at Bernie's" to fuck us and live out their power fantasies.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago

His brain is the best, as smooth as a billiards ball. Even smoother than it, if that's possible.

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I feel like he would remember if it was the brain just because they click in a cage thing over your head for the duration of the scan. I get an MRI of my brain once a year for my MS and I would never forget getting one. But hey, who knows, he's going senile. Maybe he forgot. Or maybe he has some kind of disease in a different part of his body that needs an MRI to diagnose.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 48 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Or he's lying because he doesn't want to admit to having the cognitive issues he clearly has. Or possibly just because he's so used to lying at this point it's just automatic.

Weird I got a brain MRI scan about 4 years ago and there was no cage

Edit: I am in no way defending Trump, just curious about the MRI experience. Trump is a pedo fascist fuck with dementia

[–] smoker@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

There are some newer portable MRIs that kinda look like this

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I am so jealous. I've been getting them for about a decade now and have always had a cage.

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

@LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world

@MuskyMelon@lemmy.world

Right now, my mum is developing dementia (we're waiting on tests to help with a definitive diagnosis). Her memory is very bad, and getting worse. She can forget what she said in one sentence by the time she is part way through the next. If it wasn't terrible it would be amazing - like she fully 100% has no idea what she said and sometimes will even argue that she didn't say that thing. So I think it's completely within the realms of possibility that he doesn't remember.

I also think that he doesn't care enough about any of this to even register the information as worth remembering in the first place. He's a shitty cunt regardless of the objective assessment of his mental state.

Also not defending chester Cheeto. But I'm curious why they make you do the cage. That thing absolutely terrifies me, and I was so glad they never made me use it when they were scanning my brain because of my chairi malformation. Maybe it's because it's my brain stem they're looking at?

At any rate, I'm so sorry you have to go through that. I can't imagine. Literal nightmare fuel

[–] LovingHippieCat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I've had scans for my brain and neck area and they've used a cage always. And the last time they did the neck they did this extra big cage just for that section. It fucking sucks. It's possible it's just because I'm in a red state that hasn't had as much investment in it for medical tech so things are more outdated. Or the people hate me and want me to suffer in that cage. Probably that first one. Or they just need to because they're scanning the whole brain maybe? I dunno. I just know that I have them put a washcloth over my eyes so I can't see it because, like you said, nightmare fuel.

I hope it's something serious.

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

As Basil Fawlty says:

Let's hope it's nothing trivial

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, so it has had an MRI, I wonder where?
"It wasn't the brain"
Oh, so it's had an MRI on the brain, I wonder if they found it?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

"the results came back perfect"

oh so they found something really spicy

Get him into some retirement home, it's just getting sad now.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

It's like a child in 6th grade still talking about passing a spelling test in 1st grade.

But hey, windmills cause cancer and no one knows how magnets work. Oh, and they definitely stop working underwater.

[–] oftenawake@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

His brain is the best, like nobody ever saw before. It got the highest score ever on every cognitive test.

Your brain is a fat slob, really the worst brain. All your thoughts are completely fake, put there by the Biden administration. Nobody even cares what you think, you should get your brain revoked.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

The MRI was on his brain. I peomise

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

perfect phone call

🤣🤣🤣
