[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) Idk, the dude has been showing signs of advancing dementia for a few years now. I think we're at most a few months from him sundowning on live TV. If his heart lasts that long, that is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I'll generally agree, but at least based on this article, I wouldn't say "I think I look like Elvis" to be a matter of diminishing mental capacity, it's just unjustified narcissism. There's so much other things to illustrate mental capacity issues that I feel like we shouldn't feel compelled to rope this into that neighborhood. That just serves to discredit the criticism. permalink fedilink source parent
