Biden, your diagnosis?

The blank stare? Double downing on delusional comments? Shuffle steps? Body movements that don’t seem to go along with what he is saying? Little episodes of confusion with mumbled words? Overreaction to critical comments? Stumbling? Not knowing where he is going? The reliance on prompting by his spouse?

This all doesn’t seem to go with common age related mental diseases. His rhetoric is too connected, whether telling the truth or lying he’s consistent. More like he’s overstimulated, like too many cups of coffee on top of too little sleep. Or maybe overdosed on performance enhancement steroids.

There’s something not right there. My layman’s diagnosis is anabolic steroid OD. His doc will adjust the dosage and in the next debate some of the symptoms will be diminished or go away. It’s why he hasn’t thrown in the towel.

Difficulty communicating: I notice that Dr. Stephen Hawking had many of those same difficulties - attributable to cerebral palsy. Diseases overtake our bodies and impede us from doing many physical things - like walking, our eyesight, our speech. I think Joe Biden has come to that point in his life.

However, clarity of thought - however difficult it may be to enunciate it and formulate into a 'normal' statement, does not mean that the person's mind is disordered. The clarity of thought is there but the words tumble out in mixed order. His thoughts though center on the needs of other people.

Now, lets take that in comparison to Donald Trump whose thought processes center on 'self' = himself and how to attain power and demean and control other people:

Of the two people, where Biden's thoughts and actions come clear with explanation, I find those thought patterns of Trump much more disturbing. For the most part he has no trouble formulating his speech but the content of his speech is very shallow and he is very defensive of his ego.

@sunsporter1649 My bridge is worth more than your bridge!
But: I think both of us would be better off trying to hype something else!
