Isn’t this an add to the concerns - progressing dementia (I’ve little doubt here) along with narcism, lies, cruelty, and disrespectfulness that is leading to worse and dangerous behavior. When so many (3000) professionals confirm Trump’s advancing symptoms you know the concerns are going up. What are we to do? Don’t think Vance will be the answer. Democrats need to be elected asap! We all realize the importance of a stable economy, speaking of which Sabrina’s mention of Biden is a needed realization, “Biden rebuilt an historically strong economy from the Covid ashes he walked into.” This is the very truth people need to accept.
Americans were gullible in part because the law no longer requires "news" to be factual. we used to, until 1989 we had the fairness doctrine that required both sides of any argument presented on the news. the UK and other countries require truth in news. until we go back to some kind of fairness doctrine, we'll never fix our country bc half the nation watches pure propanganda on Fox and they have no idea what trump is really about.
Thanks you, Ms. Haake. The House maga will cave whenever Mike tells thems to cave. Witness the voting on the SAVE act and the huge robber baron tax break.
They will need to feel more pain to reassemble their spines. Now we have a Trump Consumption Tax to help pay for the massive tax cut and ballooning deficits.
China is not backing down. The tariffs on and off were a massive insider trading scheme. I hope NYS does an investigation and charges people like Martha Stewart.
I almost prefer it was an insider scheme to outright insanity. a crooked president is less dangerous than a crazy one, although they're not mutually exclusive.
Agree. And we have a criminally insane, mob boss wannabe who engages in extortion plus insider trading. He may be mostly immune. His people that followed are not. Lock them up!
You prompted me to dust off an essay I put online before I had a Substack and repost it with some updates. This is the title: "Am I the only anti-Trump shrink who thinks Trump may not have dementia? He may. But he may not."
The psychologists you cited, John Gartner, who I have known since 2017 when I was one of the first members of his Duty to Warn group, and Suzanne Lachmann, are not neurologists. Neither am I. I only learned about dementia when I moved to a continuing care retirement community and saw the in all of its stages in people I knew.
A few weeks ago I wrote: If Trump was told and forgot about what was reported by The Atlantic this could be solid evidence he has dementia.
Thank you. 25th Amendment makes sense, but seems to me we are faced with a criminal enterprise (Trump, his appointments, enablers in Congress and fed judiciary) so whether or not he or they are sane, they are criminals. Borrowing from Ta-Nehisi Coats, Wall Street is following in the steps of MSM et al., by engaging in the "elevation factual complexity over self-evident morality."
Assuming trump has been the puppet who is the puppet master? Despite trump's obvious and continued decline they are moving full steam ahead with the support of SCOTUS and the GOP.
OH and I thought he was using those words so the people who voted for him, and those working for him could understand what he was talking about, now if any one is trying to tell those who voted for him and back every move he makes that he has dementia they are not going to be believed this is a conspiracy of the woke people, there is absolutely no way in H... that this conclusion will change his support's minds. what has to be done is to vote in the mid terms and vote the Republican out of office , but again with his last executive order regarding the way votes are received and counted the opposition is out of luck Americans might as well learn to live under the rules of Fascism because there is no way out sorry
that it won't change anyone's mind doesn't mean it shouldn't be said. I agree w you, his cult will never be dissuaded by facts or argument. but the more disastrous his conduct, causing real economic pain, the fewer cultists there will be.
I strongly agree! As my comment below states, this information has been ignored and covered up for much too long. Trump’s dementia and psychopathy / malignant narcissism needs to move from the shadows into the spotlight. Then the 25th amendment will become a viable option. Put the bastards on the defensive for once.
Good for you Ms. Haake. It was a courageous move that may bring you some unwanted attention.
Thank you! There are still way too many people who are unaware of Trump's grossly compromised cognitive status. Since the election the mainstream press and Trump's handlers have been quite successful at shielding him from awkward exposure. Your article blew a huge hole in that protective wall. Unfortunately, I'm sure that it also made you a target of Trump's insane wrath. Thank you for your selfless courage.
Of course, the other piece of Trump's egregious "unfitness" is his malignant narcissism / psychopathy. I wish someone of your stature would give some exposure to the book that Dr. Lee edited, "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 40 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Warn Anew." The authors are highly respected experts and they leave absolutely no doubt that our president is a frighteningly dangerous man.
Thank you, Sabrina, for taking the time to warn America and the world. The psychiatrists are right, and they are risking their professional reputations to bring forth the truth as they see it. Trump's mental determination is also a matter of genetics. His father succumbed to dementia, which has been widely reported. Republicans and Fox TV know all of this and don't care if he destroys the country with their insane stubbornness. America has had turbulent periods that challenged its very existence. Yet it managed to find a logical consensus and survive. This is quite different. Not only are Trump followers supporting a demented man unable to reason, but they are also willing to end America and endanger the world. That sentiment is not hyperbole, and the evidence points to dangerous times. And I fear for the safekeeping of the nuclear codes. Trump will get his 92 million dollar military parade because the Republican weaklings in Congress are too cowardly to say no. But what happens when the feeble-minded Commander-in-Chief decides to fire off a missile or two on the Fourth of July? What then?
Thanks, Sabrina, for the interesting details/reporting. I'm a retired psychiatrist and have been studying and commenting on DJT's mental condition for 8 yrs. now. I see him as suffering from a Borderline Personality Disorder, probable ADHD, and dementia, which he has compensated for with confabulation, perseveration, and other defensive actions to hide his deterioration from the public. This was obvious when his WH physician, Dr. Jackson, administered the 5 item short-term memory test, which requires that the 5 items NOT be easily associated to improve memory, and his "person, woman, man, camera, TV" is obviously a series of closely associated items. It's a fake, so what was Dr. Jackson trying to hide?
Paraphrasing Bob Dylan: Ya don't need a weatherman [psychiatrist] to know which way the wind [mind] blows.
This is a phrase that is becoming increasingly more useful.

Giving up on gullible was My New Yrs Resolution in 2020. I get My news through MTN lol.
We Don't need Vance taking over

I was a psychotherapist for 40 years but didn't learn about dementia until I moved to a senior community as saw it in dozens of residents." Here's the link: https://halbrown.substack.com/p/am-i-the-only-anti-trump-shrink-who-aeb

impeach or 25th Amendment him. or if possible, imprison his corrupt ass.
Well, for starters, they can put him in jail for 34 felony convictions.

And anyone else willing to pay to play.

Frightening times.
In the last paragraph you misused the term "..begs the question..."

It's reassuring that many trading floors still operate on hand signs.
