He had previously cancelled his plans for a military parade , saying that he would honor the military in Paris instead. 3) On Saturday, Trump skipped the ceremony at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France. The White House suggested that it was because of the weather, but that didn’t stop other world leaders or Trump’s staff from attending the event . 4) The president arrived two hours late to a dinner that evening with world leaders. 5) The White House announced that the president will not attend the ASEAN or APEC summits in mid-November. 6) Monday morning brought this announcement: [iframe frameborder="0" src="https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-31/html/container.html" id="google_ads_iframe_/88059007/theintellectualist/news_1" title="3rd party ad content" name="1-0-31;10152;<!doctype html] {"uid":2,"hostPeerName":"https://mavenroundtable.io","initialGeometry":"{\"windowCoords_t\":0,\"windowCoords_r\":1366,\"windowCoords_b\":728,\"windowCoords_l\":0,\"frameCoords_t\":1610,\"frameCoords_r\":699,\"frameCoords_b\":1660,\"frameCoords_l\":379,\"styleZIndex\":\"auto\",\"allowedExpansion_t\":516,\"allowedExpansion_r\":650,\"allowedExpansion_b\":60,\"allowedExpansion_l\":379,\"xInView\":1,\"yInView\":1}","permissions":"{\"expandByOverlay\":false,\"expandByPush\":false,\"readCookie\":false,\"writeCookie\":false}","metadata":"{\"shared\":{\"sf_ver\":\"1-0-31\",\"ck_on\":1,\"flash_ver\":\"0\"}}","reportCreativeGeometry":false,"isDifferentSourceWindow":false,"goog_safeframe_hlt":{},"inFakeDecryptionExperiment":false}" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="320" height="50" data-is-safeframe="true" sandbox="allow-forms allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" data-google-container-id="2" style="box-sizing: inherit; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; vertical-align: bottom;">[/iframe] Philip Crowther ?@PhilipinDC Trump won't be leaving the White House today, per press office.

In medicine, decompensation is the functional deterioration of a structure or system that had been previously working with the help of allostatic compensation. Decompensation may occur due to fatigue, stress, illness, or old age. When a system is “compensated,” it is able to function despite stressors or defects. Decompensation describes an inability to compensate for these deficiencies. … At this point, it appears that the president will still attend the G20 meeting in Argentina at the end of November, where he’s expected to meet with Putin. It will be interesting to watch whether Robert Mueller releases any information before that date, which is probably what is causing the decompensation in the first place.https://mavenroundtable.io/theintellectualist/news/washington-monthly-there-are-signs-that-trump-is-mentally-deteriorating-See4RuD98Ue7dRSV4MZUpA/
