When you listen to people who have known Trump for a long time, a couple of them David Cay Johnston and Mark Cuban and maybe his niece Mary Trump they say he has always been the way he is. That is, he cannot read or learn, but he has learned instead how to manipulate and con people. They learn to make words their interface to the world - and intimidation and offensiveness to keep people from knowing their weakness.

I don't think this is necessarily dementia, or it may be ADHD with dementia. I'd bet he has a lot of the same characteristics of Ronald Reagan.

What it means is that he will cede power, i.e. delegate his adminstration to JD Vance and his others who will bypass him and implement this Project 2025 thing.

I am very anxious about this election, and wondering what happens, what do we do if this person actually wins the election?
