Chameleon Trump

To the editor:

Some have said they believe that Trump’s contradictions and constant conflicts are his ultimate cover, that is, as a deliberate strategy. Trump said he wants to run for a third term and he doesn’t. He says he wants to have Canada as the 51st state, but maybe not. He wants Greenland and will use whatever means to get Greenland. He wants to make Gaza into an American tourist area, but maybe not.  

Are Trump’s contradictions his ultimate cover, or are they signs of dementia in a man who has shown an increasing inability to multitask rationally, has challenges in planning and solving problems, has increasing problems with words in speaking or writing, has decreased or poor judgment, has changes in mood or personality, and has difficulty in having an intelligent conversation?

Maybe it’s time for the media and the public to consider that we may have a president who, because of diminished mental capacity, needs help in carrying on his "revenge presidency," and Elon Musk is the supporter who props him up and provides his cover.

    In your correspondence, you expressed concerns about the potential mental health implications of Donald Trump’s contradictions. You suggested that the media and the public should consider if he needs help with his revenge presidency, as you put it. However, I believe your assessment is unadulterated speculation on your part. Trump is highly intelligent and has demonstrated remarkable cunning, successfully vanquishing the Deep State and the Democratic Party. He has exposed the deception and political motivations behind their subpoenas and debunked the baseless Russia Gate conspiracy theory, which was nothing more than a fabrication of Hillary Clinton’s imagination. As a result, he was elected as the 47th President of the United States, and his tenure is now a matter of historical record.
