Improper use of the term "dementia" as bandied about compared with genuine red flags. And how that ties in with societal collapse
So as to get the ball rolling I will reference, a brief Palmer report as to Donald Trump
quote
If you’ve spent time around a patient with severe dementia, you know what’s going on with Donald Trump. He doesn’t remember that many people anymore. He just doesn’t. His personal universe is shrinking. His cabinet picks are basically the only people he can still remember exist. It’ll only get worse for him.
– The Matt Gaetz nomination was not a smokescreen. It was just a dumb screw-up from a dementia patient who’s surrounded by idiots. Stop assigning a level of strategy and smarts to Trump that he does not have. His ineptitude is the best thing we have going for us. We must call it out and play it up.

While this is true, there is another side to it, i.e.
quote
Dementia is a general set of symptoms that can impair a person's ability to think, remember, or make decisions. Signs and symptoms of dementia can vary depending on the type of dementia and the individual, but some common early signs include:?
Now back to Trump, i.e. he is flagged for at least some of the check list, but what the Democrats and others opposing Trump do not get is that Trump, in a burst of native cunning has weaponized that OTHERS are referring negative connotations on the use of linkage of Dementia and Donald Trump. Worst of all, Trump has conned MAGA into believing that all such references are a, AHEM, DEEP state plot to victimize Donald Trump
I have had conversations with Trump supporters, as to Trump proclaiming victimization if the topic of dementia comes up , and short circuiting when the issue of dementia and Trump comes up in conversations
Trump supporters make it all about VICTIMIZING poor pitiful Trump, whenever Dementia is raised
The trap is real, and those opposing Trump need to stop getting sucker punched again and again on the Trump is a victim every time the topic of dementia and Trump comes up
Trump is being given a free pass as to unacceptable behavior because of this dynamic. We need to smarten up
