... he is incapable of remembering what he has experienced, and so confabulates to fill in the gaps, is a question that perhaps none of us can answer.

For me, the recent "deal" tips the balance to deterioration having reached a point that he has no memory of what is actually happening around him. Prior to this "deal" the trump we know and rightfully condemn has been a man who is constitutionally incapable of sucking up a loss -- ANY kind of loss.

We don't have the full details on the MoU, but clearly, the "deal" is humiliating. It is a surrender with reparations. This "deal" paints a giant L for Loser on his forehead.

This is not a "deal" that the "old trump" -- the man incapable of admitting loss on ANYTHING in his life -- would knowingly enter into.

Is it good that this deal has been made? I don't know about the specifics, but clearly, the ONLY way out was a "deal" that would be deeply humiliating to the man that started this criminal war. And now we have some version of that, with details to be revealed.

I could be flat wrong, but I suspect a deeply disabled narcissistic psychopath has been maneuvered into something that EVERYONE around knew had to happen; something that he would have never agreed to if he had not lost the ability to remember what he is experiencing hour-by-hour.
