Public vulgarity and lewdness are Trump's signature on the campaign trail. These are well recognized as signs of advanced senile dementia.

“So many people came out to see me in Alabama last night. The Fire Marshall threatened to shut the rally down because we were so bigly over capacity. And I was told that there were over 300,000 outside, crying because they couldn’t get in to hear me. We could hear them all crying from inside. Sad.”

We'd do well to swallow some of our foolish pride and take after examples like this. They've begun to do it in New York and we have the slightest chance perhaps the possibility nationwide in the United States of America.
