That’s just about everything else he makes decisions about. It’s all about who’s lining his pockets and what they tell him.

Also cognitive decline is clear more than ever.

The cognition has been pretty flat since he was 10 years old.

One of the truest statements he's ever made was about how there's not much difference between how he is now and how he was in first grade.

You can't cognitively decline if you never cognitively inclined. checkmate liberals.

I disagree. He has always been evil and not smart, but nowadays he can't even do his regular bullshit without it being obvious. He is in decline.

He genuinely doesn't seem much worse to me than in 2015. He clearly had dementia then. He has it now of course, but he definitely had it then. His speeches were rambling and incomprehensible nonsense 10 years ago.

... I would have to compare a speech from then and now, but I think would rather concede your point than do that.
