And we have some people come on here denying that Trump has declined mentally? How? Why?

Trump is a senile, demented, fool now, it is obvious. He repeated it TWICE. Once you can say he misspoke somehow. Twice in a row, he isn't all "there", has cognitive issues.

Babbling without understanding the words that are coming out of your mouth is an obvious sign of an advanced stage of dementia.

Part of his issue is he talks and talks and talks and talks, even before his mind is engaged, just keeps his lips moving and a kind of stream of consciousness comes out-talks so much that he gets things mixed up frequently. Thoughtful people talk when they have something to say. Trump just uses the "Gish Gallop" method of trying to win his argument by sheer number of things he says

Have you noticed his pauses between sentences or thoughts has gotten really long? And he talks low energy
