Trump

[Fido]

Look at any videos with him in the 80s and 90s and he's an articulate bloke.

Trump's cognitive functions have clearly declined, he's unable to string a coherent sentence together without rambling. I don't see why that is relevant.

It's totally relevant Borin, because even if you look at stuff a few years before he became president he did not behave/sound that way. I do agree that his mind has gone somewhat, but think it's a mix of narcissism thrown in there too.

I've seen interviews with linguistic experts showing how Trump has dumbed down his vocabulary and behavioural experts showing he has acted like a thick redneck, so some morons in a one horse town in Hicksville think he's like them, rather than a cosmopolitan New Yorker born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

There's a huge part of what Trump is doing that is an act. However, I do agree that he has mentally lost the plot.

It can't really be both, can it?
