    So stupid… the thing that really gets me is it isn’t a new thing, he was always this stupid. Which means they’re are way too many people dumber than him which is fucking scary.

      He wasn’t, though. If you look at his interviews in the early 2000s it’s like watching a different person.

      He was still a pompous piece of shit idiot, but he absolutely has had an extreme cognitive decline over the past decade (probably from amphetamine abuse).

      If I had to guess, I’d say he was in the mid stages of dementia with one foot over the advanced line.

        I’ve seen his interviews for the last 40 odd years. Do you recall when he claimed he lived in a cardboard box on the streets of NY until someone gave him a $5 bill which he then built his fortune on? In reality he got several million from his father and never had lived on the street. Believe me, he has never once lived in the same reality as anyone else.

        Even that leaked audio at the start of covid when he said it was worse than a virulent flu. He knew what was going on.
