I don’t know why people like OP post “He’s always been (stupid/senile/deranged/whatever)!” Does it make them feel smart to say,“I’ve always known better and you’re an idiot if you think this is new!”
Trump is clearly past some kind of tipping point here. He’s gone downhill so far and fast that, were he a relative, we would have been plotting elder care a year or two back, no longer fit to live alone and keep house.
There’s obviously been a drop in his coherence, but it’s not like he was smart and now he’s dumb… He’s always babbled bullshit at a 5th grade level at best, he’s just had enough money and undeserved confidence behind him that he could mostly muddle through an interview just sounding smarmy and punchable… Now he’s also dealing with dementia to the point where he literally can’t remember what he started bullshitting about.
He doesn’t have a problem with mental acuity…
… he was always an idiot.
He didn’t change, he’s always been like this
No, there has definitely been a drop in his coherence.
He used to be an idiot you could understand, now he’s just spewing words together than sound like partial thoughts

No, he’s much worse than he used to be.
Which was already bad.
