The signs of the cognitive decline of Donald Trump simply cannot be ignored. He is not merely forgetting names and places. He is recounting hallucinations and inventing bizarre and fantastical distortions of reality. It is decidedly abnormal to repeatedly insist that windmills kill whales, that hurricanes can be nuked, that bleach injections cure COVID, and that George Washington’s Army took over airports.

Someone with that sort of warped perspective of the world cannot be permitted to occupy any seat of power or influence. The potential for harm to the people of the nation – and the world – is far too great. And yet, Trump is still the leading candidate for the Republican Party’s nomination for president of the United States. And he remains the choice of Fox News to lead the nation that he regards “failing” and “going to hell.” Is this walking conveyor of catastrophe and hatred really the best they can do?

On Friday Trump demonstrated once again the depths of his dementia. During a speech at a New Hampshire GOP primary campaign stop, Trump reprised his pitifully incoherent excuses for having provoked and prolonged the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He continues to disclaim any responsibility for the riots that he incited and that even Republicans in Congress agreed at the time were the result of his instigation beforehand, and neglect during and after. He told the audience of glassy-eyed Trump cult followers that…

“By the way, they never report the crowd on January 6th. You know Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley… Did you know they destroyed all of the information – all the evidence, everything – deleted and destroyed all of it, because of lots of things. Like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that.”

There’s an abundance of derp in that brief comment that needs to be examined. Let’s start with the fact that the crowd size has been reported, but who cares? It has no relevance to anything else that happened that day. It’s just Trump reaching out to polish his own ego.

Trump then makes a profoundly disturbing blunder, confusing his Republican primary opponent, and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, with former Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. And it wasn’t a one-off gaffe. He did it repeatedly. These women have nothing in common that a sane person would mistake. Trump has simply lost his ability to process reality.

However, what is even more troubling than his crippled capacity to recall people that he ought to know well, is his twisted tales of past events wherein he was a principal participant. For starters, none of the evidence assembled by the House January 6th Committee was destroyed. He likely built this falsehood from wholly dishonest “reporting” by Jesse Watters on Fox News. Shortly after that program Trump posted a comment on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, alleging that…

“[T]he Unselect January 6th Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs has illegally destroyed their Records and Documents. This is unthinkable, and the Fake Political Indictment against me must be immediately withdrawn.”

In fact, the January 6th Committee chairman, Benny Thompson, refuted claims that any evidence was destroyed saying that the Committee had fully complied with “guidance from the Office of the Clerk and other authorities” as to preserving and archiving documents. Only “temporary” records that were not part of the Committee’s probe were not preserved. Everything else was saved and is available online.

Likewise, Trump’s claim that Nikki Haley – or was it Nancy Pelosi – turned down an offer of 10,000 National Guard soldiers was provably untrue. Trump didn’t make that offer to either of them, and that claim has been repeatedly debunked by his own Defense Department appointees. Although, the fact that he keeps making that claim is an admission that he believed his supporters were a dangerous mob. What’s more, there was nothing stopping Trump from deploying the National Guard himself to restore order and protect the Capitol. It was his responsibility, but he did nothing.

So Trump is not only mentally deficient, he is a pathological liar. And the MAGA-infected GOP still wants to put him charge of the government that he has already proven that he is incapable of running. Which only affirms the conclusion that they are a cult with a death wish. And come November, the rest of the American people need to make certain that the crazies and deplorables don’t regain access to power.
