Trump Shows Clear Symptoms Of Dementia During West Point Speech

Donald Trump gave the commencement speech for graduates of West Point this weekend, and it might be one of his worst speeches ever. The President rambled on and on about the “great late Al Capone,” trophy wives, and his belief that he is allowed to do “whatever I want” after winning the election. But one of the stories that he told left the crowd completely speechless with no reaction at all. And it was this part of the speech that showed a very clear symptom of vascular dementia, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

On Saturday morning, Donald Trump gave the commencement address for the graduates of West Point. And the whole thing was an absolute abomination. Donald Trump did begin his speech, you know, addressing the actual graduates, the accomplishments they had made. But after a few short minutes of that immediately pivoted to how amazing he is and of course how horrible America is. He talked about getting rid of those godawful, DEI programs in the military. He said that the military shouldn't be, uh, putting on drag shows. He talked about how awesome it is that he's cracking down on immigration because we had an invasion in this country, the likes of which we've never seen four years of an invasion. And he also talked about the quote, great late Al Capone, which he, he messed that up. Supposed to be late, great is how you actually say that. But he said quote, I was investigated more than the great late Alfons Capone.

First of all, nobody should refer to Aal Capone as great. So that right there is kind of a big tell. Alfons Capone was a monster. He was a very hardened criminal. I went through more investigation than Alphons Capone and now I'm talking to you as president. Can you believe this? I'm sure they can't. Just like most Americans right now, can't believe that you're president again. Um, and by the way, Al Capone and you were investigated so many times because you're criminals. You were convicted. You are a convicted felon Donald. You seem to constantly forget that. But you were in fact convicted of all 34 counts against you. You are a common criminal. And had it not been for your victory in the 2024 election, you would probably have a lot more criminal convictions against you right now. Not to mention even more criminal charges, 'cause the state of Arizona decided not to charge you because you know, you were running for president by the time they got around to charging people.

So if you hadn't been running, if you hadn't won, you would probably also be facing charges in the state of Arizona. But all of that pales in comparison to the symptoms of vascular dementia that Donald Trump clearly displayed during this speech. And those symptoms were quite simple. It's the repetition of themes, words or phrases, and in some instances, of course, telling the same story over and over again, which is exactly what Donald Trump did to a crowd of people who could not have cared less. I'm gonna show you the clip in a second. They had no reaction. They didn't give a about this story. They didn't understand it. They didn't know why he was telling it, but he was telling it because that is a symptom of vascular dementia. Those suffering from it will often fall back on the same things that they know because they're unable to either recall new memories, recall old memories, form new memories. So they tell you the same thing over and over 'cause they only remember a select few things. So here is that story. It is one that we have heard Donald Trump tell before. And just like last time, he got no response from the audience, from it. Take a look

A trophy wi it didn't work out too well, but it doesn't and that doesn't work out too well. I must tell you. A lot of trophy wives doesn't work out, but it made him happy for a little while at least. But he found a new wife, he sold his little boat and he got a big yacht. He had one of the biggest yachts anywhere in the world. He moved for a time to Monte Carlo and he led the good life and time went by and he got bored. And 15 years later, the company that he sold to called him and they said the housing business is not for us.
