Shifting from topic to topic, with few connections, is one of several disjointed and occasionally incoherent verbal habits that seem to have increased in Trump’s speech.

    Are the experts forgetting that Diaper Don wears a diaper because his cocaine habit made him shit uncontrollably?

    And cocaine has long-term effects on the brain?

    It’s not difficult to piece this stuff together.

    An actual saved-you-a-click: There’s no real reason given in the article. Could be any of 4 different things. It’s interesting that they did a statistical analysis on it, but since medical science doesn’t work on statistical breakdowns of speech patterns, nobody knows. Article is a waste of time.

    (And about this comment thread: Yeah, he sucks, his brain sucks. I don’t need to hear from you about it. You’re not funnier than the 7 other people in here with that poorly-thought-out bit.)

    he’s an addle-brained psycho who’s living in so many of his own delusional invented fake versions of reality that he can’t discern any one of them from actual real life in any given moment

      Eh. It was a much more in depth analysis than that and I enjoyed reading (as much as I can enjoy watching the country I live in slowly devolve into chaos) but they’re also using a lot of specific diagnostic terms that I also use when documenting on actual patients so yeah I could understand a layperson not getting a whole lot out of it. I also enjoyed the differential diagnoses, for instance they’re correct that that tangentiality can also be diagnostic of ADHD (although that’s usually somewhat static over time, where here they’re describing it as a steady decline in linearity).

      People have frequently commented on how tangential my speech can be at baseline, and I’m ADHD AF. That said, people also usually mention that I always circle back around in some way that connects everything together and sometimes my coworkers have almost made a game of calling out when they realize how my tangent relates to the original topic, which is a reassuring working memory finding that isn’t evidenced here.

    Man is too old. To watch him attempt to run is shameful.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
