I don't see evidence of dementia with Trump like the dementia that was so apparent with Biden. Canada would probably be better off if Trump was clinically senile because the "grownups" could step in to avert disaster by invoking the 25th Amendment.
I'm not an expert but I would describe Trump as a compulsively self-aggrandizing figure whose manic energy fuels a relentless need for attention, dominance, and validation—often at the expense of truth, empathy, or institutional norms. His behavior reflects traits consistent with malignant narcissism: grandiosity, lack of remorse, manipulativeness, and a tendency to dehumanize opponents. Combined with sociopathic disregard for consequences and manic impulsivity, he operates less as a leader than as a destabilizing force driven by ego and spectacle. And he is getting more drunk with power by the day.
Unfortunately, our Canadian "leaders" have been unable to figure out how to deal with Trump and as a result our economy is bleeding out with nothing being done during the last 10 months to stem the hemorrhaging. If I were Carney I would have had a private talk with Trump in the White House (one-on-one) where I would have confronted Trump with the fact that it was TRUMP who gifted Canada and the world the Covid-19 pandemic that killed millions and cost world economies trillions.
Trump has probably never been confronted by a world leader with this fact before, but it was under Trumps first administration that various agencies of the Trump administration including the NIH, NIAID, USAID and various agencies of the Pentagon including DARPA funded research on Covid-19 which I believe was created as a bioweapon to target China (think about that). The virus was engineered in a lab after Trump lifted Obama's gain-of-function ban. The World's foremost expert on the origins of Covid-19 is Prof. Jeffrey Sach who chaired an investigation into the origins. Professor Sachs believes the virus was engineered in a bio-lab at UNC Chapel Hill (Dr. Ralph Baric) and was sent to Wuhan for testing on Chinese bats which is where it seems to have escaped.
Why do I bring this up? Because in any negotiation, you need LEVERAGE. Trump creates leverage with LIES—e.g., “Canada has been ripping us off in trade… Canada stole jobs from Detroit”—lies that our timid “leaders” have been too afraid to refute for fear of evoking Trump’s ire. Confronting Trump in private with the FACT that he already tanked the Canadian economy once with his COVID-19 bioweapon would be very powerful leverage to get him to drop his tariff nonsense. I would tell Trump that Canada was just getting back on its feet after HIS pandemic hit us, and we are not going to let him kick us in the head again. Trump never takes blame for anything. The last thing he wants as his legacy is having COVID-19 pinned on him. The buck stops with the president.

Using the word "fact" doesn't make it so.
"I believe" ≠ fact
I will point out that Sachs is an economist, and not a pathologist, infectious disease expert, microbiologist, etc. He's not exactly qualified to make statements like that, even as chair of one investigation very, very early on into the pandemic.
He's also a friend of RFK, jr, and despite your use of the word "fact" has to my knowledge, never given a definitive conclusion, choosing to hedge bets.
So what makes you think he would now? Trump's a man who's gotten away his entire life with making egregiously unbelievable lies who's now in cognitive decline. Even if what you say were the truth, he's not gonna care. He's not a man who can be reasoned with. He's gonna just say whatever keeps him out of trouble or defames his perceived enemies.

SARS-CoV-2 was likely not bioengineered. YouTube videos and conspiracy theories will not make it so

Google AI summary of a clinical psychopath:
Key traits of clinical psychopathy include an arrogant interpersonal style (superficial charm, grandiose self-worth, pathological lying), deficient affect (shallow emotions, lack of empathy, guilt), and an impulsive, irresponsible lifestyle (need for stimulation, poor behavioral controls, irresponsibility). Individuals with psychopathy often display antisocial behaviors, manipulativeness, and a lack of remorse, making their interactions with others destructive.

Starts? He has been doing it all along. He is just more open about it now.

It's more than joining the US. The threat environment has changed. And our own defence policies are being updated to consider missile defence. In no small part because the difference between a drone and a missile is starting to get blurred.
Every general has a senior enlisted on their staff. And they always travel with their staff.
A lot of analysis has missed the most concerning part. The whole thing about "no fat generals" is basically a way to force what are folks in their 50s and 60s to do physicals normally aimed at 20 and 30 somethings. It's a setup to make an excuse to cut them.

They've already body slammed congressional candidate, Kat Abughazaleh twice now. I am pretty sure there are lots other documented confrontations with public candidates who are not MAGA with these masked Brownshirts...
...what was they where saying about political violence again? It's okay when it's not Charlie Kirk? /s
