Ability to reason is necessary prerequisite to moral culpability. 8 month old toddlers know nothing about moral and are not responsible for their actions and neither are some 80 yo demented seniors.
Neither one of them should, for the same reason, be a president, but here we are…
One of the few things I’d grant Donald Trump is a level of training above that if a 8yo toddler. Also dementia isn’t taking away moral responsibility, it just makes ones actions more blatant and less obfuscated, removing the masking that someone did to present like a moral actor in the past.
But I do not see why you would be so adamant to protect Trump from moral judgement. I would think the dementia is the least of all things why he shouldn’t be in office, because, you know, all the crime.
