#Presidementia (1) Sunday 04/05 Press Briefing: Trump is having a terrible time here. As David Gergen said, they need to have him there for 5 minutes and get him off the stage. He rambles, perseverates, cuts off both journalists & his own experts. Never answers a question.

#Presidementia (2) Sunday 04/05 Press Briefing: Clearly Trump gets tired quickly but deludes himself, thinking he is King Kong stomping through the fake news jungle. After his monotone reading, he deteriorates rapidly into tangential, off topic, often rude mental meandering.

#Presidementia (3) Sunday 04/05 Press Briefing: Trump's dangerous pitching of his two-drug combo is now part of every briefing. This is bizarre. The MD's on the stage are shamefully silent. Trump is cognitively impaired (getting senile) & is incapable of normal dialogue.

#Presidementia (4) Sunday 04/05 Press Briefing: Trump, unable to answer questions, shows more hostility, defensiveness, & BS/CS every day. Attacks reporters before they can finish a question, cuts off the experts. These behaviors are common in some (not all) dementia patients.

#Presidementia (5) Sunday 04/05 Press Briefing: The transcripts of these psycho-circus sideshows are (to our surprise) posted on the White House website. Trump's decompensation & brain dysfunction are striking when seen on the page. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/
