There is something wrong with the President. Info below:

 This is a thing - Showtime:

"The best description I've found is
"The ability (probably sub-conscious) to be able to suppress the symptoms of dementia for short periods of time when social occasions demand it. Usually this is in the presence of authority figures, medical staff and relatives who they do not see often. It takes a great deal of mental effort, can only be maintained for short periods of time (which gets less as the dementia progresses) and leaves them exhausted afterwards.""

He has a 'shuffle' when he walks:
"While patients with Alzheimer's disease typically have quantitative gait impairment, those with other forms of dementia often manifest more overt, qualitative changes to walking."



The result of this is many fold.
1) Constitutional crisis may occur when the 25th Amendment starts getting seriously discussed. Guaranteed it is being discussed right now at the highest levels.
2) Loss of faith with allies. Briton and Germany are already openly discussing that the USA is an unreliable partner. Long term, this will cause conflict... European jockeying for power will lead to conflict on the continent not seen in 70+ years of American leadership. Throw Russia in there as a spoiler and it starts getting ugly fast.
3) China - already gearing up for war on Taiwan. Like your iPhone, computer, internet? It is a lot tougher to have those things when all the chips and assembly are done in one of those two locations. Onshoring is a thing, but it has a LOT of catching up to do.
4) Domestically, who is in charge? If Congress had it's act together, they would regain some or all of their power that they ceded to the Executive branch. They won't, so again, who is in charge?

Short term (3-4 years) it is going to be UGLY.
