    I swear to god he’s gotten dumber since the first term.

    Did he hit his head during that assassination stunt? Is his brain 90% Alzheimer’s plaque? He’s never had coherent sentences, but he used to ramble for ages, now it’s just one liners.

      If you look at old interviews from the '80s, he had reasonably coherent sentences back then. They were idiotic hot takes, but nevertheless reasonably coherent.

      Point being, even the “used to ramble for ages” stage was noticeable progression of decline.

      There was a video of him somewhere, commenting about golf i think? His tone of voice and the way he spoke genuinely reminded me of the Downs Syndrome kids from the special ed classes in school, something about the specifix way his words were slurred (like his tongue was swollen) and the sentence structure. It was terrifying and (very briefly) made me feel pity.
