That reminds me of Alzheimer's Disease.

Neat video, though. He could be a demented narcissist.

Some years ago, Mr Trump invited me to lunch for a one-to-one meeting at his apartment in Manhattan. We had not met before and I accepted. Even before the starters arrived he began telling me about how he had asked a number of people for help after his latest bankruptcy and how five of them were unwilling to help. He told me he was going to spend the rest of his life destroying these five people.

He didn’t speak about anything else and I found it very bizarre. I told him I didn’t think it was the best way of spending his life. I said it was going to eat him up, and do more damage to him than them. There must be more constructive ways to spend the rest of your life

It's a tool they use to avoid taking responsibility for their own statements

Dealing with them sucks


"His unscripted speaking style, with its spasmodic, self-interrupting sentence structure, has increasingly come to overwhelm the human brains and tape recorders attempting to quote him.

Trump’s crimes against clarity are multifarious: He often speaks in long, run-on sentences, with frequent asides. He pauses after subordinate clauses. He frequently quotes people saying things that aren’t actual quotes. And he repeats words and phrases, sometimes with slight variations, in the same sentence."

They are not mutually exclusive conditions.

on a close personal level a couple times and IME the dementia tends to magnify the symptoms of narcissism.

And while Trump does it as a narcissist, it's not the word salad thing that makes me think he has some type of dementia, like perhaps multi infarct dementia.

They desperately need to do psyche evaluations on people who run for powerful positions. They have made some police do it in some police departments & a President can get a lot more people hurt and killed at once than a cop can

He could have other issues as well, including dementia.

He's definitely not competent to be president. It's terrible that millions of people applaud him. That says something terrifying about our country.

But the thing with word salad is that he does it all the time. Still could be a narcissistic technique though. He actually has no idea what he is doing or talking about, so the word salad is a way of obscuring that fact.

Most narcissists can churn out a far more comprehensible word salad. In his case, I'd say it's both.

I think are relevant. Sorry it's long. There are short points , but they do not explain quite like watching a video or documentary does.

he is also a giant sack of shit.
