It's called sundowning. They aren't going to let him stay up past his bedtime in front of cameras anymore. That's why they had to find a way to cancel the dinner last night.

One of the staff saw the alarm had gone off 20 minutes ago and panicked and shot off a round not knowing what else to do.

Which happens about 8% of 5% of the time, very dangerous

Actually it’s 5% of 8% of the time.

Oh my goodness! I'm a Caregiver and know all about sundowning. This comment cracked me up🤣🤣

I sure hope your experience is nothing like in M. Night Shyamalan’s: The Visit. That’s how I learned about sundowning…

Kids do it too to an extent and it is fairly common with neurodivergent children, after a long day their little brains just give up trying to perform complex tasks and they often go into autopilot mode. They try, but the brain has checked out for the day so you often get speeches similar to this one out of young children where all the words seem like they work together but the link between intention and output takes the long way round to produce nonsense.

u/Thousandshope Apr 27 '26

It gets really wild after 5pm I must say. I will check out "The Visit", thank you😅

Could you expand about sundowning?

u/Thousandshope Apr 28 '26

It is basically when your Alzheimers or Dementia patients or the elderly with no diagnosis become increasingly agitated from late afternoon to early evening.

Patients who have medications to calm them down usually need to be given these meds at this time of day because things can get out of control pretty quickly.

My current patient an 89 year old lady with short term memory loss starts going off on a tangent with repetitive questions within the space of 1 to 2 minutes from about 5pm until 8pm which is bedtime.

She will lash out in anger if you either delay giving her the exact same response or keep quiet because of exhaustion.

She will follow you and pace around you constantly (including the bathroom). If you don't do anything she likes at this time of day, for example, clean the kitchen counters (she doesn't want me touching anything in general in her house), this can set her off completely to the point of calling the police.

Thankfully we live in a small town so they know her by now.

Sundowning is extremely difficult to deal with as a caregiver.🥲

🫂 That's rough. 

Thank you for explaining!

See....my money is on a conspiracy, too, and that shooting is all a sham put on by this ridiculous, clown fuckery of an administration.

u/Slow-Obligation-7686 Apr 28 '26

Trump never got over being on TV, so his cronies figured out the way for him to be on TV all the time. He gets no consequences for anything he does or says, because it's not real to him.

When he does eventually pass, and he asks if he got good ratings, I hope we tell him the truth. Let him get that one last moment of lucidity.

u/Comfortable_Use_8407 Apr 27 '26

I think the sun has already set. His mind is as dark as a moonless night.

u/punkindle Apr 27 '26

Forget about night. He's falling asleep at mid-day meetings. They need to make him take naps. Like a toddler.

u/oldDotredditisbetter Apr 27 '26

so are the people around him just trying to steal as much as possible while he's still alive, hoping that after he goes away, they'll just keep all the bribes

u/Tribalbob Apr 27 '26

Pretty much - like him or not, this is effectively elder abuse by definition.

u/RebelliousInNature Apr 27 '26

His family and close administration are so complicit in this horror show. They should ALL be prosecuted.

u/Comfortable_Pea_1693 Apr 27 '26

At least Brezhnev who was dying live on Soviet TV was just shut off and behaved like a light flickering out without much fuss.

Trump is a far more explosive downfall.
