[@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM]

I am trained as a professional guardian to the elderly and have been court / judge appointed. That 'debate' was not a one-time incident, in my most sincere opinion. There have been far too many moments when our president lost his focus, walked toward 'nothing', reached his hand out to no one standing there. This isn't a case of allowing one's grandpa to remain in their home, instead of being taken to a 'home'. He would, if re-elected, be in charge of the most powerful military, the most powerful economy, facing attacks domestic and international no else can even dream of imagining, nearly every day. Is he up to that? Not by his appearance and behavior. Can he sustain what he is able to occassionally put forth for a solid four more years. Highly questionable. From real experience, one encounters elderly gentlemen who once ran major companies, lived in mansions, were powerful when they were younger adults - but now will pull 'poop' out of their adult diapers and throw it at their nurses, laughing as they do. How far away is our president from behaving in this too far lost manner? It's a question that affects us all.
