Trump is losing control. The signs are evident. [View all]

His decision-making has reached the point where the only way to save face is to admit he has Dementia.

1) He's going to make a speech on Thursday to claim that Warnock and Ossoff are illegimate because their elections were fraudulent.

2) He also is floating the idea that we, the US, are going to start charging 20% for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

And this is after he tried to get more than a billion dollars from the IRS and immunity from tax audits for him and his family members. (Which was shot down by a judge.)

I just listened to his voice as he was talking about the charge for passage through the Strait. It was weak and doddering.

It's time for the Republicans to step in and, at least get some qualified handlers in the Oval Office, because we are way past describing the craziness as a rabbit hole.
