Has he officially been diagnosed?

He's recently had several MRIs, and he's had several tests given to people to detect dementia. But no official news of the results.

President Donald Trump boasted that he has undergone more cognitive decline tests than any other president in history during a wild late-night rant.

In a Truth Social post in which he bragged about how hard he works and called for The New York Times to cease publication, Trump also made reference to the fact that he has “aced” three Montreal Cognitive Assessments, a test designed to screen for early dementia or mild cognitive impairment.

“In addition to the Medical [assessments], I have done something that no other President has done,” he wrote in the 488-word rant, ”on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know.”
“I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all.”


He's frequently sundowning in public now:
During a White House press conference alongside French president Emmanuel Macron on Monday (February 24), Trump was asked about trade between the US and neighbouring countries Mexico and Canada.
,,,
"I look at some of these agreements and I say who would ever sign a thing like this. The tariffs will go forward, yes. We’ll make up a lot of territory. Our country will be liquid and rich again."

It was Trump who signed “those things”.

Say it again, louder for the people in the back

FENTANYL DOESN'T COME FROM VENEZUELA!

The strikes on boats in the Caribbean and the posturing against Venezuela have NOTHING to do with the fentanyl or drugs.
Trump pardoned KNOWN drug traffickers including the the former president of Honduras who was a known cartel leader and trafficker.

NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE.

First you ask me to explain my position. So I do, using facts and evidence. Then you dismiss it as a "ranting post" and don't address any of the facts or evidence presented.

And then you want me to believe you care about evidence? Not likely.

Thanks, but having looked at both links I find nothing in either of them that refers to "Guiding Head" or Zion Colony." Those were the titles given to the person responsible for the videos in Apple Sky's links.

With a following of approximately 6,000, he sought land north of Chicago and secretly bought a large amount of real estate. In 1900, he announced the founding of Zion, 40 miles from Chicago: he personally owned all the property. He established a theocratic political and economic structure and prohibited smoking, drinking, eating pork, and the practice of any form of modern medicine. He also established a range of businesses, healing homes, and a large Tabernacle. Followers from across the world descended on Zion

It does if the earth is supposed to orbit the sun.

Because of the sin nature and this is the same reason people distort or not believe other areas of The Bible. The main one and most important, is the adding to simply belief in Jesus for Eternal Life. Actions that people must do and the list of these is a long one depending on the denomination.

Washed up failed actors and their families should stay out of politics.

No, he posted that we must believe all of the Bible, not just the parts we like. I pointed out some parts that a majority don't follow. If he is willing to learn biblical Hebrew, I will be happy to be "schooled" in God's words.

well...if we're going to be precise, one could say that Reiner did usurp at least one democratic process... at least at the state level.

Per wiki:
Reiner was a liberal activist.[32] He was a co-founder of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which initiated the court challenge against California Proposition 8 that banned same-sex marriage in the state.[33]

Not sure who recalls the Prop 8 Fiasco in California...

But in a nutshell, when the voters of California were asked (pre-Scotus ruling which came later)

"Is marriage between a man and a woman"
View attachment 374615

Reiner (alongside his wife, and former Clinton advisor John Podesta) teamed up to found a group specifically to undo it via getting a bunch of Hollywood A-listers to be part of a funding network to throw money at the cause of winning the expensive battle of court attrition.


This is from Politico (certainly not a right wing source by any stretch)

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/15/rob-reiner-hollywood-political-power-player-00692130

For Reiner, politics was more than a hobby. He hired political operatives – including veterans of the Clinton White House — and embedded himself into statewide campaigns and government bureaucracy to advance his goals.

Let me get this straight: raising funds for and taking part in political activism is a usurpation the democratic process?

Greetings again Samaus, thank you for your time and patience with me. It is my hope that God is present in our conversations and His truth is forwarded.

when did God say number 1?

Click to expand...

I know of no instance in which God said a number. But that is an irrelevant objection to our problem. God gave us events. The two points one needs is (1) The events that the prophets starting saying that God is now cutting you off...and... the event God says His prophets will return. We won't have exact day or minutes, but we don't need that detail to find the truth of this topic.

Within the biblical text, the ancient Hebrews had a problem with being susceptible to the surrounding people groups and their teachings about magic, gods, spirits and the teachings about demons. This is well documented in the Bible. As early as the book of Exodus, magic was prohibited among the Jewish people; evidenced by the Scripture, "You shall not permit a sorceress to live” (Exo 22:18). In Deuteronomy it says practicing in such empty beliefs is an “abomination” (Deu 18:12) and no one should make their children practice “witchcraft” or be “a soothsayer”, or one who “interprets omens”, or “a sorcerer”, or a conjurer of “spirits” (Deu 18:10-12).

The Jewish people, within their culture, had a BIG problem with bringing in the beliefs of outside concepts about spirits and demons and God punished them for it. Punished by having other nations conquer the Jewish people.

So it is written that the Jewish people “shall have night without vision” (Mic 3:6) and there will be “a famine on the land” (Amos 8:11) but this famine is not one of food but a famine of “hearing the words of the LORD” (Amos 8:11). According to Micah “The sun shall go down on the prophets, And the day shall be dark for them” (Mic 3:6) for there will be “no answer from God.” (Mic 3:7).

Above is only some verses where the decree by God cut off the Jewish people from prophets and visions.

I could go on endlessly on the biblical examples of the Jewish people being punished for their incorporating the false beliefs about spirits and demons, like the Holy Scripture telling us that the Jewish culture had “followed idols” like the “nations who were all around them” (2King 17:15). And during King Jeroboam’s reign in Judah, “he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made” (2Chr 11:15 NKJV).

Jesus said the law, and prophets were until John the baptist (around 30 AD) so according to Jesus they could continue up until his time.

Could you please give me your verse, source, or reasoning behind this claim?


So my question still remains from my post #2, is God made out to be a lier? If you have done half as much of the research you appear to have done...then you know perfectly well the verses that claim an end to prophets and visions until Elijah, and that the Jews of the day held the same belief.

Great conversation samaus. Peace to you brother.

Right, and of course there was nothing outrageous about Trump's message of condolence.

Servus said:

Right, instead of nipping it in the bud. Pulling it out at the root. Greatly reducing availability. The government should do nothing about that, and instead provide treatment to after people get addicted to it. Let's just wait until they're hooked on the stuff and then try to fix them. Provided it doesn't kill them first. That really is the most logical and caring way to handle the problem.

Instead of destroying the stuff before it gets here, open up hundreds of treatment centers for the 1000 people per day who get addicted to a highly available and cheap extreamly addictive and deadly drug.

tldr; Don't stop it, just treat it.

But really that's moot because what's really happening is the government wants to kill liberals and also get everyone's oil.

We don’t even need insiders to tell us who Trump truly is. He shows us on the daily with his press conferences and unhinged Truth Social posts. Insiders just corroborate what is already observed.

As usual, this discussion is not about whether Trump did this or that bad thing, or said this or that bad thing. Nobody on the right cares, What they care about is only whether Trump is criticized for it.

I would support that because I've spent a lot of time with psych patients in both of my careers.
What is really needed in my state is more psychiatric facilities to deal with them
At one hospital I worked at they stayed in the ER for weeks sometimes waiting to get a bed in a psychiatric facility.
At the larger hospital I went to work for we had our own psychiatric facility a couple of blocks away. It worked much better there
