Why do billionaire owned media outlets hide Trump’s dementia? Follow the money!
“Trump is suffering from early dementia. Why isn’t the media covering this?” — Robert Reich
“The super-rich have long sought to buy newspapers to help push their agendas…” — The Guardian
“It is up to all of us to apply pressure on our newsrooms, to push against the amorality that has captured our for-profit information ecosystem. The journalism executives doing the bidding of owners must be made to realize that they work in service to the public, otherwise they are nothing more than PR shops for the wealthy.” — Media And Democracy Project

‘Falling off the cliff’
Dementia expert shows four ways Trump is exhibiting ‘shocking decline’. Dr. John Gartner, the founder of Duty to Warn is a collection of mental health professionals sounding the alarm about Trump’s declining mental faculties. Gartner laid out four examples that he says show proof that Trump is teetering ever closer to full-blown dementia.
- Trump has shown a “decline from baseline” … he now is exhibiting a “shocking decline in verbal fluency” and “often can’t finish a sentence or even a word.”
- Trump repeats himself and overuses superlatives and filler words,” Gartner said. “Based on his current accelerating rate of decline, it seems very unlikely that Trump could see out a second term without falling off the cliff and becoming totally incapacitated.“
Trump’s failing memory as evidence of cognitive decline. - He noted that earlier this year, he mistook former UN ambassador Nikki Haley for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D‑California), saying “Nikki Haley” was in charge of security at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
- Trump has, on multiple occasions, confused President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama on the campaign trail. — Alternet

“A well-informed citizenry is the foundation of a democratic society. News and media affect our opinions, voting decisions, degree of civic engagement, and ultimately shape the health of our government and society.
Voters need to know what Trump and his allies are planning to do with power, and about the damaging impact their lies have already had on the health of our democracy. For example, a spike in death threats following lies about the 2020 election has led to difficulties in recruiting and retaining poll workers. Half of all female state legislators in the country are considering leaving public office in the face of increased threats. Trump allies are readying plans like Project 2025, which would harm millions of Americans and break our democratic system.” — Media And Democracy Project
