When the figurehead of what was once the Republican Party &#8211; now the MAGA Cult &#8211; is an octogenarian with obvious physical and mental impairments, it becomes much harder for the devotees of that cult to unleash rote criticisms based on flaws typically associated with age and intellect.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News contributor Kellyanne Conway (of <em>&#8220;alternative facts&#8221;<\/em> fame), who was Trump\u2019s campaign manager in 2016 and served in the White House during his first term, was a guest on Laura Ingraham&#8217;s program Thursday night. During her segment she made some comments that might have struck some people as peculiar for a loyal Trumpist. She said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This happens to many of us, right? People that we love fall into decline physically, mentally. That&#8217;s okay. That&#8217;s life. What happens is you have to let them live out their lives quietly, in peace with dignity with their families. Enjoy the grandchildren.

It could have been said by any Democrat concerned about the declining mental health of the current occupant of the White House. However, Conway was actually attempting to denigrate President Biden. The fact that she missed her target so badly speaks to how serious Trump&#8217;s problems are.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, a significant difference between Biden and Trump. While Biden is now living quietly, in peace with dignity with his family, and enjoying his grandchildren, it is Trump who has the nuclear codes. And he is making daily threats with hostile intentions toward a variety of countries, including Iran, Oman, Cuba, and even Greenland.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, it is Trump who is exhibiting dangerous signs of instability. He has been caught sleeping though meetings that were being televised. He has been rambling incoherently in speeches and press avails. He has been behaving in a distinctly narcissistic manner, praising himself shamelessly for imaginary successes, and constructing public tributes that include statues and placing his scowling likeness on currency.<\/p>\n<p>Yet somehow, Trump still manages to have convinced himself that he is in perfect health, mentally and physically. Never mind that he still hasn&#8217;t released the reports from his most recent annual physical exam, his third in 13 months. That exam included yet another cognitive test that he boasts to having <em>&#8220;aced.&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s become a regular thing with Trump that he regards as evidence of his superior health.
