He is, and has been for a long time, mentally ill. As near as we can tell. I know of no formal diagnosis. However, "toxic narcissism" has been thrown about by psychologists. I also think he's a sociopath. Those are both mental illnesses.

He also is suffering dementia (as I've said, this one I'm sure about because I saw it up-close with 1poormom), since it is a physical deterioration of the brain, that probably wouldn't be categorized as "mental illness". It's a physical ailment that affects the brain.

I don't think his answer to the Constitution question constitutes dementia. He doesn't believe in the Constitution (obviously), never has, and was lying when he took his oath affirming that he would support it. Not dementia. However, confusing his rape victim with his ex-wife...that's a sign of dementia (along with incoherent rambling, and such as that).

He really should be removed per the 25th Amendment, but that will never happen. Or not at least until after the 2026 elections (and probably not then, either). Too many boot-lickers and sycophants.
