The mystery that remains for me is that when I see interviews of Donald Trump from the 80's and 90's, he seems to have been a different person. Rational, attractive enough as a human being. Age alone does not change people this much. Something else is going on.

I think this is a cumulative effect over time. But at the core, he's the same. His youthfulness just masked much of it. But if you look at his business dealings, he has always treated people the way he still does now.

Totally agree. I don’t understand how some can’t see it.

I lived in NYC then. His "attractive" self went after innocent young men of color in Central Park with a vengeance. Even after they were proven innocent. He was smoother, younger, slicker, but his aggressive, ego-driven core was precisely the same.

Sorry, but DJT was not rational & attractive in the 80s & 90s. I read Art Of The Deal back then, which gave a filter thru which to better understand any of his public moves or statements. T always had a black heart. Now he's paying the price for living a cruel & loveless life.

1. Stress of Russia is taking its toll. He knows what he’s in for-obstruction of Justice, collusion, blackmail, money laundering, 2. Neurological decline, 3. He hates this job.

He has made my skin crawl since I first saw him in TV in the 80’s.

I never saw him that way. He was always full of himself. I read The Art of the Deal, and could not imagine acting that way. Then the way he treated his first wife and kids. I don’t think they have ever saw him this much until the campaign started.

I keep saying it - dementia/ALZ. His symptoms remind me of my dad’s. The stress of the job will make it worse.
