If it were Alzheimer’s, by this point in the progression of the disorder, he would hopefully be in hospice care and would not remember he was president.

FTD does not cause that form of deterioration and so for some time people would blow it off as he’s “just being Trump.”

This post is by George Frank I will attach his handle.

But thank you Mary and thank you all. This is a good day to tell the truth.

Thom is one of my heroes.

One of the most important things he does is to show that, as terrible as DJT is, the problems Thom describes didn’t start with him. There was a long, slow erosion that began, essentially, in the late 19th Century and has more recently turned into an avalanche. We need not only to dig out, but to fix what caused the catastrophe. Part of the problem, as Thom points out, is that laws that seemed adequate, or were at least workable compromises, at the time they were passed are ineffective against what we face today.

I just made the point on another Substack that social media needs to be regulated like TV is. We have ample proof of how dangerous it is.
