    There’s the added complexity here that Trump can’t make his own decisions anymore due to his dementia. He just does whatever the last person he talked to said.

    It’s why after talking to Netanyahu he does what Israel wants. After talking to Putin, he helps Russia. Even after attacking Iran, a Russian ally, he removed sanctions on Russian oil in the midst of the economic shitstorm he made, which effectively gives them billions of dollars again. So overall, it was actually a net win for Russia.

    Hell, after talking to Mamdani, he started praising him, talking about how much good he’s going to do for New Yorkers, and even repeating some of his talking points. Trump doesn’t have any original thoughts anymore.

        There’s a difference between unfiltered, and not being able to follow conversations, maintaining conversations, and just repeating what someone else says.

        Trump has always meandered when talking bullshit, but it has gotten much worse in the last few months. It is very clear if you look back and compare side by side.
