alt Hacker Newsthis reads like someone who hasn't seen dementia up close. I don't see his behavior as much different than term 1. simply more malevolent.
there's no obvious word searching. he's always been simplistic and unencumbered by the need for logical consistency. he was never a word smith. he has his stock phrases (eg, "many people are saying...<insert lie>"), which he uses as a crutch, but also to great effect.
as someone who HAS seen dementia from a to z, I don't see it here.
Yeah I don’t see it either. What I see is a guy openly admitting he’s a dictator because he thinks that’s what’s needed. A guy that knows he doesn’t have much to lose and wants to do whatever crazy shit comes into his head
