Yesterday

He doesn't just ramble these days.His mind wanders all over the place, and he can't stay on track to save his life. The word salad has become word confetti.

Experts who have studied his speech ppatterns and compared recordings of him speaking now and at various times in the past have commented on how his speech and thought processes have deteriorated and are continuing to go downhill as we speak. The decline has been gradual, because that's bow dementia works.

Check out this post I made the other day for one expert's opinion: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1322107326

If he manages to follow the teleprompter and stick to what's on there, he may manage to sound reasonably coherent, but don't let that fool you.
