His brain was always mush, even before he got up there in years.
He's one of those dumbasses that you always ask yourself: if he had dementia how would the layperson even be able to tell the difference between the crazy shit he did and said before and the crazy shit he does and says now?
I mean, it's still not clear to me whether he really thinks exercise is something that is bad for you. It's not clear to me if he really thinks stealth planes are invisible. It's not clear to me if he thinks people that seek asylum are somehow associated with insane asylums.
And so on.
What this poll shows is that most people can't see mental problems in a failed business man accused of rape BEFORE they vote for him to become POTUS
TBF, I would have taken Biden in a coma over this guy.
I suspect my reasons for that are far different than the people that actively ignore(d) Pedonald's mental acuity issues.
Mine are because I trust the Democrats would have executed the line of succession protocols in a far more sane and orderly way than the cons are likely to and any risk/damage to America would be minimal.
Conversely, I think those that support Pedonald no matter how scrambled his brain is is because they want to maximize the damage against America as much as possible, which of course they call "making America great again". If he goes off the rails on the crazy, that's a benefit to speedrunning the very worst things.
