Seth Meyers and Colbert are back and the clips they were showing definitely put to rest the question of Trump's mental status. Short term memory loss is a symptom of dementia along with his inability to answer a question coherently.
From an interview with Baltimore psychotherapist, Dr. John Gartner in Mindsite News, April 1, 2025:
"Dr. John Gartner: Certainly. When we’re diagnosing dementia, what we need to see is a deterioration of someone’s own baseline of functioning. What we see that a lot of people don’t appreciate is that when Donald Trump was younger in the 1980s, he was actually quite articulate. He spoke in polished paragraphs; now he has difficulty even finishing a sentence. His thoughts were logical and related: now they’re tangential. He goes off on these ramblings where he is confabulating things – weird things in which he’ll talk about Venezuelans and mental hospitals, and then he’ll talk about sharks and batteries or the late, great Hannibal Lector and Silence of the Lambs. And why is he talking about Hannibal Lector – a fictional character who was not great; he was a murderer, a serial killer. It makes sense in Trump’s mind but these are really random associations. And there is an accelerating rate of decline."
Many people were saying this quite a while before the election. And that's the problem with allowing this hiding of the POTUS, and the problem with allowing the candidates to get away without taking a real medical exam, by an independent group, that includes an exam for mental health. And the results need to be PUBLIC! ALL OF THEM.
Their election & the ‘toon make me exceedingly happy. I’ve lots of Canadian family & friends and the election result was what we wanted. He’s smart, witty, compassionate. He wears clothes well & doesn’t seem to have “gang wear”. He smiles! And he, from the start, pissed off the entire regime!!
Pssssst you know it’s “Mark”, right? Just writing quickly so we’d have it? [Wait: am I hallucinating from too many snow chips*? Did this get edited from my first reading to now?] Edit 2: I think there are a bit of both. It IS Mark.
*Unlike Americans who, with predictions of a snow storm, rush out for milk, TP & bread, Canadians go to the store for chips - or crisps if they were more loyal to The Crown. Was in a Zoom meeting with Canadians when one mentioned a storm & others asked if they’d gotten their “snow chips” yet. I asked. Then ordered. Delish. Yes, a mixed bag includes ketchup flavored ones. No tariff.
My Canadian family & friends call them Storm Chips 😊 My son, who is an American Floridian living in Canada, can't break the habit of stocking up on batteries, water, food that can be cooked on a camp stove, gassing up the cars, etc... too used to hurricane prep, never thinks about Storm Chips! But those are the first thing my daughter-in-law puts on her emergency prep list.
I kept thinking I know who that woman on the ear bandage is, then I realized there was a hockey puck, it's the Titanic - It must be Celine Dion. Missed the narwhal and the polar bear though, probably because I was trying to puzzle out why there is a pork chop in his pocket.
Hockey puck was my guess...excellent toon and blog.
Yeah, knew right off it was a hockey puck. Now to check the Easter eggs…

They don't want to do that, then don't run.
Wait!!!! There are Claytoonz Points?????!!!! Why was I never told about this??? Who is this guy Matt and how did he get FIVE???
As was said in The Wire: Shit ain’t right.
You get three Claytoonz points for quoting The Wire.
All Right!!!!!!!!
You get two more Peezy Points because there's no way to spend them.

Yes, it was edited pretty quickly.
First I saw one change then another and given the times, thot I’d gone nutsier.

Thank you! YES of course. Storm chips! They are great. Thank you for the correction. And it’s just fun. We are thoroughly enjoying them.
That election was a slapshot right to the groin.
I kept thinking I know who that woman on the ear bandage is, then I realized there was a hockey puck, it's the Titanic - It must be Celine Dion. Missed the narwhal and the polar bear though, probably because I was trying to puzzle out why there is a pork chop in his pocket.
The pork chop's for later. Sheesh. Who doesn't keep a pork chop in their pocket?
This one is great!
Thank you. You get two Claytoonz Points for the compliment. Spend them wisely.
Fantastic cartoon! Still looking for more Easter eggs
I also knew it was a hockey puck. I loved the narwhal and polar bear, too!
Got the pork chop! Now I want one!
You, me and Lil Abner. Pork chops are great!
I haven't had a pork chop in forever.
We were in French Canada, so what's the sign in French?
You can probably get Canadian citizenship and if you do, I’m available for adoption!
Count me in!
We will all contribute!
Stephen Miller and I think JD Vance, I can't make out the third face or the face next to the gold fish.
A connection to something.
