This explains EVERYTHING about 2026 so far in one cartoon:

(Source: https://www.austinchronicle.com/comics/this-modern-world-14/)

A Tom Tomorrow cartoon strip with FAR too much dialog to copy. TLDR: two scientists are talking. The older one explains that the US president's brain is such a dense vortex of narcissistic self absorption that it has collapsed in on itself, creating a localized black hole (and we're all trapped in the event horizon). "On the bright side—it could be a form of subjective immortality, as long as we don't mind spending every moment of eternity thinking about Donald Trump!"

In all seriousness, my father has #dementia, and he no longer has any sense of time.

Things that happened DECADES ago happened "recently" for him (like losing the 2020 election is for T****) and he obsesses about it (also like T****.)

He makes stuff up (not actually "lying") to fill in the gaps in his memory, and can be a quite paranoid (everybody is out to do him harm.) He doesn't LOSE something, it's always STOLEN.

There is NO question in my mind #OrangeJuliusCaesar has dementia.
