Is it dementia yet?

About Donald Trump’s fantasy of nine rifles trained on Liz Cheney’s face (a firing squad?): disinhibition is one of the many markers of dementia. See also Trump’s increasingly vulgarity (“a shit vice president”).

Disinhibition can also take the form of public nakedness. I recall a neighbor with dementia, standing in his backyard one day, naked, immobile — one of the eeriest sights I’ve ever seen. I called his family.

Where’s Donald Trump’s family?
