Dr Loupis: «Возраст — не болезнь; используйте то, что Трамп демонстрирует ежедневно»
Источник: https://drlou.substack.com/p/age-is-not-an-illness-with-trump
Краткое содержание
Памфлет автора Substack-блока «Free Thinking». Главный тезис: Трамп «нездоров медицински, нездоров ментально», у него видимые признаки серьёзной физической болезни и деменции, «которых у Байдена никогда не было», но демократы и «либеральная» медиа боятся это говорить — повторяя ошибку 2024 года, когда они сами помогали GOP бить Байдена по возрасту. По автору, «возраст не болезнь — возраст вызывает изменения», но «то, что мы видим у Трампа каждый день, — это уже клиническая картина».
Конкретные аргументы. По автору, Трамп: «не имеет понятия, о чём говорит» (хотя бы потому, что «не смог бы быстро найти Иран на карте»); по сообщениям, его не допустили в Situation Room во время операции по спасению сбитых пилотов в Иране; очевидные признаки физической болезни; не может связать «две связные фразы». Его иммиграционная политика «бросает 5-летних детей в клетки с кроличьими шапочками, депортирует родителей, оставляя детей в США, похищает отцов на школьных проходах»; местная и национальная экономика страдает. Он представляет «высокий риск национальной безопасности» — «выпаливает» классифицированную информацию, унёс с собой документы и хранил их «в ванной». Его поведение с Си в Китае «нарушено» — «не заметил, как Си его оскорбил, начал говорить про китайские рестораны». Меняет причину войны с Ираном «много раз», ни одну не выполнив.
Финансовая часть: Трамп и его сыновья «за первый год возвращения в Белый дом сделали почти 5 миллиардов долларов»; «иск президента к собственному правительству» автор называет «абсолютным безумием»; план «компенсаций» помилованным фигурантам 6 января — «безумие»; «140+ полицейских пострадали тогда, многие — тяжело, некоторые погибли в дни после».
Рецепт автора. Демократы должны «давать пресс-конференции при каждой возможности, а не позволять Трампу кричать у вертолёта или звонить на Fox»; начать регистрировать избирателей повсюду; «голосовать в наших числах, как венгерские избиратели выкинули Орбана». Финал — «если Трамп говорит — он лжёт; если обещает — это очередной развод; каждый раз».
Значимость
Прямой партийный электоральный текст, ориентированный на демократическую базу. Сильная часть — конкретные процессуальные факты (документы в ванной, иск к собственному правительству, иск офицеров Капитолия). Слабая — диагноз «деменция и физическая болезнь» автор ставит без клинического обследования, опираясь на публичное поведение; это публицистический ход, не медицинский. Контекст: этот же автор 24 мая написал «Trump's slush fund» с параллелью «Brown Shirts»; «Age is not an illness» — более ранняя точка той же мобилизационной линии.

Just Say It: Trump is Unwell

That ‘Trump is unwell’ might be among one of the worst kept secrets in American History. Yes, Trump is unwell. He is unwell medically. He is unwell mentally. He has visible signs of significant physical illness and dementia the likes of which Biden never showed. But the Democrats are again going to risk pulling Defeat from the Jaws of Victory, aren’t they?
Back to Biden for a moment; he didn’t fall asleep at meetings, he slowed down but made sense and still got things done. And the GOP’s incessant attacks on Biden’s age also weren’t just the GOP. They were directly assisted by Democrats and the ‘liberal’ media. Think, Jake Tapper as but one who milked every penny out of Biden that he could. Behavior by the Democrats leading up to 2024 was shameful. 2016, too.
But the issue isn’t just age. Age causes changes - I’m older...I know - but age, itself, isn’t an ‘illness.’ One political issue is cowardice. Media and Dems remain terrified of coming up in one of Trump’s psychotic overnight tweetstorms. So freaking what? These are also an indicator of mental illness; of dementia and cognitive deterioration; of medical illness. At issue is not specifically Trump’s age - but what we see every single day.
Trump has no idea what the hell he’s talking about or doing. I’m not certain he could quickly find Iran on the map. He was, by report, kept from the Situation Room during the rescue of the down pilots in Iran because he was not to be trusted. He has obvious and clear signs of physical illness. He can’t string two coherent and connected sentences together.
Talk about Trump’s horrific immigration ‘policy’ which includes jailing 5 year old’s in bunny hats, deporting parents while leaving their children in the US, kidnapping dad’s dropping off their children at school as well as grandparents, preschool teachers and landscapers. Document what this is doing to people But also document what this evil white supremacist policy is doing to local and the national economy.
Trump is a high national security risk. He can’t stop talking and, not unlike a toddler, needs to tell anybody who will listen how much he knows. Wonder what he told Xi? Trump blurts out classified information which has hurt people. He STOLE highly classified documents when he left the WH in 2020 storing a lot of it in his damn bathroom and others in his desk. How much of that did he show off?
His conduct with Xi in China was disturbed. He didn’t realize Xi insulted him but talked about Chinese restaurants instead. He said he doesn’t care in the least about American’s economic and financial issues. Rerun the absolute insanity he is shitposting after midnight. He has no idea why he’s in Iran and has changed the reason many times - then has still been unable to meet each and every one.
I could easily continue but I think - hope - the point is clear. Democrats have billionaires. Democrats have nationwide operatives. Democrats have ‘think tanks’ and thoughtful supportive members of the media. But (most) Democrats are doing shit except for tweeting.
Gavin Newsom’s effort to out petty insult Trump on social media is idiotic. It was cute - the first time - then quickly wore thin. Newsom lost my vote quite awhile ago. Stop trying to be cute and post what matters.
Start registering voters everywhere. Start pushing how if we go out to vote IN OUR NUMBERS, we will overwhelm the Trump and GOP voter suppression machine as did Hungarian voters when they tossed Orban. We will win and will be able to start fixing what Trump and his allies have broken to include holding the bastards accountable.
Trump and his sons have made almost 5bill (with a ‘B’) dollars over his first year back in the White House. Does anybody realize how absolutely insane it is for the ‘President’ to sue his own government? Is Trump really going to start gifting large sums of money to the violent America hating criminals he pardoned after they attacked and injured over 140 cops on January 6…many serious and some career ending? People died that day and in the days following.
What the hell happened to the GOP Congress who’ve gone missing in action.
Democrats must start giving news conferences at every opportunity instead of letting Trump keep screaming stupid shit at the media near his helicopter or calling into Fox. Highlight Trump’s incredible ridicule of and insults to female journalists...and some men, too. Stop putting up with this shit.
If Trump is talking - he is lying.
If Trump makes a promise - it’s just another scam.
Every time.
Yes, Trump is very unwell.
Point out what we see. Point out what Trump, his Cabinet of Grift and Ignorance, and his Himmler look alike and shadow president, Stephen Miller, are doing. There is SO much damn material and Trump’s age need not be directly mentioned.
And wake up Jake Tapper...he’s missing out on his next tell all book.
