The governor told NBC News that the president’s mental state should be serious cause for concern.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) accused Donald Trump of behaving erratically after a Thanksgiving rant where he raged at the Democrat and called him a slur.

During a Sunday morning appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” the 2024 vice presidential candidate suggested the president was “fading physically,” and his “mental capacity” should also be serious cause for concern.

In a late Thursday evening rant, the Trump called Walz “seriously retarded” while falsely accusing him of allowing “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia” to invade his state.

    Start noticing it.

    Its on about a 28 day cycle. I think its next week he should be getting the next injection. And he’ll seem “pepped up” for about 10 days.

        An alzheimer’s treatment.

        I can’t the clip handily, but it was on the Majority Report and they started a calendar after a nurse called in about a specific treatment, which requires regular and repeated MRI’s to verify effectiveness, thats on just about a 28 day schedule, specifically for amyloid plaques. It needs to be done intravenously and apparently, they go for the hand or the forearm. The MRI’s are to keep track of and look for monitoring progress of the disease, treatments. Sam started what he calls the “Trump period calendar” to keep track of it.

        So Trumps had like 3-4 MRI’s in the past 4 months? Each time its for his “annual” physical and its the “best they’ve ever seen”, as well as being given a battery of extremely basic cognitive tests. Each time Trump starts to slag/ slide, within about 10 days we get news of walter reed visit, an MRI, and suddenly Trump is protecting their right hand from visibility.

        I mean none of it is concrete and all very circumstantial, but look for the ~28 day cycle of Trump having pep, being more aggressive, then sliding there being reports of decline, then back to pep in his step the next week.

            Some perts from the link:

            On Jan. 26, 2025, the FDA approved once every four weeks maintenance dosing of lecanemab for early Alzheimer’s disease. On August 29, the FDA approved weekly subcutaneous maintenance dosing of lecaneamb for early Alzheimer’s disease. The hope is that at-home administration of the treatment will be less burdensome…

            The treatment will allow people to have more time to participate in daily life and live independently.

            Your health care provider will also do a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan before starting treatment with lecanemab

        I’m skeptical of what your parent is saying…sounds quite like the adenochrome conspiracy theory. But at the same time, it’s quite likely that the POTUS would get on medical trials if something seemed both promising and relatively safe.

        With this particular president…I wouldn’t put it past him to obtain some unethical treatment (such as proposed in the adenochrome conspiracy theory, but probably not actually adenochrome).

          Adrenochrome would be ironically hilarious since it’s a big part of the Q conspiracy towards Hillary and stuff.

          I always thought it was a fictional drug plot device in Fear and Loathing

    Anything released will not be released with any transparency or ounce of truth. Still good to ask, because it will only reflect on them how they will respond.

    Leave it to Tim Walz to initiate a shrewd counter attack. Good. I’m glad he’s not taking this sitting down.

    Don’t be too surprised if soon we hear the term “Dementia Don” or “Tizzy Trump”

      I’m all for the differently-abled having the same opportunities as everyone else, but this seems like a poor condition for the “leader of the ‘free*’ world” to have, right?

        Yeah I agree.

        Cognitive/psychological disabilities are a bit different than physical disabilities.

        We can acknowledge that.

        Someone without the ability to think or plan or even be aware of where they are shouldn’t be in charge of other people’s lives or livelihoods.

    What if we did charity donation events? All politicians have to fight and the public donates money to watch. All the money goes to creating a new government system and the fights go on until there is no one left.

      It sounds fun on paper, but all we’d be left with is jocks running the government.

      I agree we have a shit government now, but that wouldn’t be an improvement. It would be an equally stupid government.
