You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

Trump murders people he accuses of being drug traffickers, even if they don't receive a trial by jury. But one who did get a trial by jury, and was found guilty of flooding the United States with cocaine, Donald Trump claims was the victim of a witch hunt, and pardoned him.

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."
