I tried to read the story, but only being able to read 10 words before I had to scroll past an ad gave me dementia.

With each passing day we march further and further into “no reasonable, rational person would vote for that man” territory.
How fucking brain damaged is this country?
Unfortunately the Republican strategy for a while has been voting with courts in mind. When the only thing you care about is appointing judges, the game becomes "our team at all costs"
It's a winning play in a first-past-the-post voting system. I don't see it changing without voting reform.
Literally any Republican would shove conservative justices in the court, so that doesn't explain the fixation on Trump at all.

I mean, what do you expect from a country that demonizes education and treats the news as if its entertainment.

Fat, sweaty, and coked out? 🤔
There are some women that think his bank account is as big as he claims and the behavior of golddiggers like that may lead to his delusion.
If saying he looks like Elvis is damaging to him when trying to overthrow the country didn't, that will be weird.
It is entirely within expectations of the fucked up timeline we've found ourselves in, though.
Call for treason and insurrection? Uproarious Cheering.
Fuck children? Endless defense and excuses (and cheering)
Wants to fuck his own daughter? "Well hell yeah, I'd fuck my daughter too if she looked like Ivanka!" - Disturbing number of republicans when looking at a pre-teen picture of her.
But say you look like Elvis? Oh my god, thats just so inhuman and so far fetched.

The mistake here is thinking that his supporters will care, if they even hear about it.
They won't.
As long as he is hurting the right people, they will excuse anything.
If you want to destroy him, double-down on these delusions.
Why stop at Elvis? Get him talking about his theory on aliens, ask him to compare himself to Jesus and whether he'd do a better job of spreading Christianity than the big man himself, get him to discuss how to split Gaza to make everyone happy, ask how a successful coup of the whitehouse would look like, maybe even ask if Rosa Parks was being reasonable by not getting up out of her seat.
You don't destroy people like this by pointing out how stupid they are, because those die-hard followers will still worship him if he answers all the above. Where he'll be destroyed is in having those on the fence go from "he's a bit crazy, but he'll do something, so I'll vote for him" to "he's fucking nuts, he'll do something crazy, so I'll vote for Biden".

His under chin growth is expanding.
The bloated, rotting corpse of Elvis, perhaps.
Elvis is probably skeletonized now, so he's once again better looking than Donnie.
Good point.
Just in case someone needs a photo to compare here is both Elvis and Fat Elvis

I will never forgive conservatives for making this guy the daily topic of conversation.
I think those that didn't properly vet him for everyone else hold a lot of blame, too. So many people in the media knew exactly how awful he was, at least as far back as the 80s. And they even gave him a game show for a while.
That game show did a lot of damage to this country, that's for sure.
But let's be fair, if it wasn't going to be tiny d, the cons would have pushed up a Palin or a Boebert or a Marge (or, more likely, a male version) and thanks to our bullshit way of voting in Presidents, might have succeeded instead of it being tiny d. Because having Obama as President drove them absolutely nuts.
We (anyone not alt-right) are to blame too. We click and watch and view stuff with the rest of them...
No fucking shit he's demented. Seriously, this is the first time we are seeing this in a headline? And it's from rawstory, and it's in quotes?!
Goddamn, corporate news media - do your fucking goddamned jobs and call it like it is - YES he's got dementia. He's also a rapist and a convicted fraud if you want to really get down with the trüfax instead of the weak ass bullshit you normally run to goose this pathetic horserace as per your republiQan owners' instructions.
Oh yeah and he orchestrated a failed coup to stay in power that got some people killed. Dunno if you knew that or not based on how you talk about him and what he does. I'd be happy to direct you to ALL THE GODDAMNED PROOF if you need, just hit me up there. Corporate news media. You utter shitbags. This entire trump fiasco - all of it - is absolutely your fault. You can't be destroyed fast enough.
They don't care if anyone is informed, they just care that today's headlines get your attention so you hit a couple of ads.
You forgot that he is also responsible for at least part of the 1 million Covid related deaths in the USA. His unscientific bullshit had a huge impact on people who believed that Covid is nothing more than a common cold.
He's also a spy.
I'm pretty sure he's not a spy. He's not competent enough. They're happy with him being a highly suggestible useful idiot.

It'll be a great day when he looks like Elvis considering that Elvis looks like a corpse.
The man is a narcissist, and constantly compares himself to other, much more successful people. He will hint at it if the person is controversial or outright state it if benign.
He'd like to be seen as intelligent as an MIT professor, as honest as Lincoln, as famous as the Mona Lisa, as dangerous as Al Capone, as persecuted as Mandela.
He'd none of these things, but he wants to plant that association in your head. It's transparent and a consistent core of his disorder.
