and incompetence.

As far as schizophrenia, trump makes batshit crazy statements a lot of times, but I think if he were suffering from it, it would be undeniable. tRump traffics in crazy conspiracies but those conspiracies are actually circulating amongst the maggot population. If he were to cite completely novel conspiracies that nobody else mentioned, that would be a different story.

I don't think untreated paranoid schizophrenia is something people can hide. Also, is it even possible to get it after the age of 50 or so?
