President Donald Trump's move to cast out loyalist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and appear to embrace New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has left his most ardent top allies bewildered, with even former White House aide Steve Bannon remarking it's a "world turned upside down."
Trump revoked his endorsement of Greene following public spats over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files in a stunning break that led up to Greene's announcement Friday night that she planned to resign from Congress in January.
At the same time, Trump appeared to warm to Mamdani, despite warning New York City would see catastrophic consequences if it voted in the democratic socialist. Bannon joined fellow MAGA die-hard Laura Loomer in expressing befuddlement, Politico reported Saturday.
A world turned upside down, far-right podcaster Bannon told the outlet in a text message.

I still don't think he has dementia. I know his dad had it. But....
People attribute all kinds of the stupid sh*t he does to dementia.
-He stands at angle, leaning forward ("That's a sign of frontotemporal dementia"
. He also wears huge lifts to make him taller. That prob makes him lean forward.
-He says some crazy something or the other that makes no sense ("That's a sign of dementia"
. It's also a sign of him being a total moron. I don't think he can read very well. He never reads anything. He probably had people take his tests for him to get accepted to college and while in college.
-He walks weird, with his leg swinging outward ("That's a sign of...."
. I wouldn't doubt if he's had a stroke (or strokes) or something.
For me, he's way too quick on his feet to have dementia. When I think of those afflicted with it, I think of the vacant eyes...the vacant stare. He has a dumb look in his eyes. But he's dumb. He doesn't have trouble with a quick comeback, even if what he says is moronic.
Noel Castler (who wrote for "The Apprentice"
writes about how much he's abused adderall. Castler says he snorted it all the time to get "up" and focused. When you see him with the huge pupils, that tracks. It just blows my mind that someone could abuse stimulants for a long time and not have a heart attack or something. Same with his dipsh*t son and the cocaine. Don't you have to worry about heart attacks and/or strokes if you abuse uppers, especially as you age? Castler said long term abuse of those types of things has left Tangeranus in diapers. Sometimes it looks like he's wearing diapers (big puffy butt when he's going up the stairs to Marine 1, for example). But wouldn't he occasionally have an accident and have some #1 or #2 leak out onto his pants or down his legs...making a visible wet stain on himself?

(5,368 posts)of possible dementia for me is:
- Deterioration of coherency of speech
- A vocabulary that has become repetitive and simplistic (compare his vocabulary from interviews 10+ years ago).
- Stringing sentence fragments together, he seems unable to stay on a topic or complete a thought.
- Nonsense words, egregious mispronunciation of simple words.
- Frequent tangents/digressions from the topic at hand
- Inappropriate behavior (like miming oral sex with a microphone)

(7,928 posts)While I think the comments about "whiplash" are appropriate, I see this as a serious mental health issue. This is not normal in any way.
Many have commented about "cognitive decline," and I don't doubt that for a minute. What I am seeing I haven't seen before, and I've witnessed cognitive decline in my own family. This is something else. Whatever it is, it causes Trump to go totally off of his rocker.
