Confused POTUS

This is odd. Trump doesn't seem to realize his limo is right in front of him:

I swear to God Trump is sundowning.
Here he is, confused, wandering away from his limo.
He had to be redirected.#25thAmendmentNow pic.twitter.com/0ZZOMTMd1k

But who knows? Maybe he thought he had to speak with someone or thought he was supposed to ride in another vehicle.His reaction suggests that he was looking for his limo but we don't really know. But he's wandered away a couple of times before.

And he did this:



In that case, Rudy was literally sitting right in front of him and he said, "where's Rudy?" That's weird.

I don't know if this means anything. Anyone who's being filmed constantly is bound to look confused and strange some of the time. But these little incidents are piling up. If they aren't just the result of stress and distraction and he is suffering from memory lapses we'll see clearer evidence of it soon.

When Reagan started to show real signs of problems he was at the end of his term and he had a very disciplined crew around him that was highly competent to cover for him. His wife was also deeply involved and fiercely protective. I don't think I'm being too critical when I say that isn't something where Trump's staff and family have shown much talent. Maybe Jivanka will step up for him but so far they've just contributed to the chaos.
