Tech Corner: How to Push the "On" Button

There was a video yesterday of a panel that Trump was on, and as Mehmet Oz (who currently is serving as Trump's administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is speaking, Trump -- sitting next to him -- is struggling to keep his eyes open. In another video from yesterday, he was introducing the co-sponsor of a bill and asking where the guy was, looking out into the audience -- the congressman had been standing behind Trump the whole time.
It's just the latest examples, even if small, of how Trump is clearly fading, and having cognitive issues (the polite term). But his word salad, off-topic ramblings, paraphasia and more keep fading more and more.
It all brought to mind a short comment about technology that Trump made a couple months back on how amazingly skilled his young son Barron was with computers.
His statement was so head-shaking, "Wait, what???!!," that it wasn't a case of “Imagine if President Biden had said something this creepily inept,” but rather…imagine if anyone over the age of three said something so creepily inept.?
And most of the media just normalizes him as Trump being Trump. Yes, it is Trump being Trump. But the point is that Trump being Trump is someone who is a malignant narcissist and is in the process of major cognitive decline -- from normal old age, senility and (as many expert psychologist have written for years) shows signs of dementia, which is degenerative.
