It marks the second time in less than a week that the 79-year-old president has been caught nodding off during an official event.

          Money also doesn’t help if you surround your self with idiots, look at how Steve Jobs went even after stealing a liver from someone after having wrecked his by rejecting treatment for his curable cancer.

          These contribute for sure. But I honestly think that narcissistic people that are wealthy enough just don’t have the level of stress throughout life that a normal person does.

          Dude acts like a child looking for gratification from mommy and gets it from the “media” that asks him questions.

          Less stress throughout an entire lifetime. It makes up for being an overweight old man that would have died decades ago if he ever had to worry about paying rent or had back pain from manual labor.

        Someone said that he’s on a 28 day cycle. Apparently there’s a Alzheimer’s shot that’s a every 4 weeks shot.

        So he’ll be good for 10-18 days and then start sundowning till they hit him with the next bump.

        But then again who knows it’s the internet after all.

        There was a thread I saw not too long ago where someone brought up a little conspiracy theory I think I may subscribe to

        There’s a new Alzheimer’s treatment, Lecanemab/Leqembi, that was given accelerated approval in the US by the FDA this year in January, so just as trump took office.

        It’s given by IV every 4 weeks. Trump has been seen with what looks like makeup thats covering up bruising from an IV

        It also seems like he has highs and lows where he declines for a couple weeks then perks back up a bit before declining again, and you can maybe kind of match those up to a similar 4-ish week cycle.

        And it also calls for regular cognitive tests and MRIs to monitor if it’s effective, and, well, trump has been doing that.

            Easy. Look around at random strangers. Pick out some characteristic. Anything at all that you can reason makes you better than them (the more illogical the better). Now just hate them for it. Even better if it’s something they have no control over.

    On the one hand, he is a very old man.

    But on the other hand, this shit is incredibly boring.

    I’m genuinely aghast when I see these long-table high profile Trump photo-op board meetings. Like, I would fucking hate to be at that table, if for no other reason than waiting in a long line to kiss the President’s ass when you’re worth multiple billions of dollars would feel so humiliating.

    But I guess that’s the real path to power. All that “hustle and grind” is just getting up at 4am in the morning to whisper “Yes” into the ear of the guy higher than you on the totem pole.
