Trump whose frequently bizarre public appearances, which this month have seen the president claim, wrongly, that his uncle knew the Unabomber and rant unprompted about windmills on his recent trip to the UK, have once again raised questions about his mental acuity, experts say.
@ the Guardian

The abrupt changes in conversation are an example of Trump “digressing without thinking – he’ll just switch topics without self-regulation, without having a coherent narrative”, said Harry Segal, a senior lecturer in the psychology department at Cornell University and in the psychiatry department at Weill Cornell Medicine.

He added: “If a patient presented to me with the verbal incoherence, tangential thinking, and repetitive speech that Trump now regularly demonstrates, I would almost certainly refer them for a rigorous neuropsychiatric evaluation to rule out a cognitive illness.”...another characteristic of Trump’s questionable mental acuity is confabulation. “It’s where he takes an idea or something that’s happened and he adds to it things that have not happened.”
 
Asked about the famine in Gaza on Sunday, Trump seemed unable to remember the aid the US has given to Gaza, and forgot that others had also contributed. The White House removed official transcripts of Trump’s remarks from its website in May, claiming it was part of an effort to “maintain consistency”. It is worth reading Trump’s remarks in full, however, to get a sense of how the president speaks on a day-to-day basis.
“Any fair-minded mental-health expert would be very worried about Donald Trump’s performance,” Richard A Friedman, a professor of clinical psychiatry and the director of the psychopharmacology clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, wrote in the Atlantic, after a stumbling performance from Trump in his debate against Kamala Harris last September.
 
I know, right?
American politics is beyond dumbed down to the point where they're saying 'your guy is madder than my guy'. A Gerontocracy in all but name.

Correct.
Trump didn't sack the BLS commissioner because the Labour stat's were great.
The country is going down the pan.
Trump inherited a healthy economy and the moron is doing his best to feck it up.

A fair summary.....

The US economy's performance is complex and evokes mixed opinions. While some indicators suggest strength, others point to potential challenges.

Positive aspects:
  • Strong growth: The US economy is experiencing strong growth, with some forecasts predicting it will be the strongest in the G7.

  • Low unemployment: The unemployment rate remains low, indicating a healthy labor market.

  • High stock market: Stock markets are currently at high levels.

  • Strong dollar: The dollar is above its recent historical average.
Potential concerns:
  • Slowing growth: While still positive, the US growth rate has slowed compared to previous years.

  • Inflation: Inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's target.

  • Negative growth in Q1: The economy contracted by 0.2% in the first quarter of 2025.

  • High private debt: There are concerns about the level of private debt in the US.

  • Income inequality: Income inequality remains a significant issue.

  • Uneven growth: Economic growth is not evenly distributed across all sectors and regions.


Overall:
While the US economy is not currently in a recession, there are factors that suggest potential headwinds. The economy is performing well in some areas, such as growth and unemployment, but there are also concerns about inflation, debt, and income inequality.
