    This isn’t an understanding of him a actually suffering from dementia

    Dementia is a long way from a mind that isn’t aging well and he does seem particularly unhinged to me, even by his standards. I’m not sure why you’d jumped from one to the other and then argue against that instead.

    its just a casual acceptance of any criticism lobbied at him as true because he’s distasteful.

    Thats certainly something his supporters say.

    The problem is, footage of trump, more often than not, confirms those stories or close enough for no one to care about the difference. However, his supporters cling to any minor deviation from their “version”, using them as a claim that the whole thing is a lie and a giant conspiracy against trump.

    They’ve been utterly inoculated against any truth they dont like about trump. So much so that they won’t even bother to reading anything that isn’t something they already know is pro trump. Which is my point here.

    I agree that people have already made up their mind about trump, based on his own behaviour and words, but thats a far cry from any accusation is true because he’s distasteful, as an attitude.
