      the patron saint of the right spent most of his presidency with a head full of mush, they don’t care. It’s the same reason the age stuff resonates with Biden only, the right wants useful idiots who will sign off on their fever dreams. A non-functional brain is a virtue to them.

      I’m sure all the stress caused by the court cases doesn’t help. Usually the presidency is the most stressful thing to people, but that’s only true if they took the job seriously. Trump did not. Something that effects him is likely far more stressful for the narcissist.

      Watching an elderly parent/grandparent go through the down slope of dementia isn’t fun.

      But a Human Vegetable President is sort of the party dream. Just do a full Weekend at Bernie’s with a sitting President and you can get away with whatever you like, then deflect the blame onto a corpse.
