Like duh?

Two key Democratic figures this week said President Donald Trump may be suffering from dementia.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona each made the accusation during separate appearances.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia.”

Get real... ADVANCED DEMENTIA.

2 Key Democrats Come Out And Say It: Trump Has 'Some Kind Of Dementia'

The comments come as the president faces growing questions about his health.

Anyone with courage has to acknowledge Trump isn't well. And he's getting worse. | Opinion
Had an older president like Joe Biden babbled like this there would have been immediate calls to airlift him to a sanatorium. For Donald Trump, it was the tip of the iceberg.

Ranting about Tylenol and escalators while seeking revenge on his enemies, Trump is showing us one simple thing: He is desperate and declining.

As @marcelias.bsky.social notes, we must take seriously a White House occupant who is threatening our fellow citizens.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 4h

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

They tried too fast,
To step into tyranny,
Like the cowards they are,
They backed off immediately,
Our next generation,
Deserves to live free,
The only ones who can see to it,
Are you and me.

They reek of desperation,
Trying to validate his lies,
Submitting to his subjugation,
He's enslaved them for life,
Their cowardice is unsurpassed,
Their ignorance has peaked,
We must stop their efforts,
If we are to remain free.

"The U.S. dollar ended the first half of 2025 with its biggest loss since 1973. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies of the U.S.’s major trading partners, fell about 11% from January through the end of June."
