but this guy ..... looks in good health.

I'm lost for words. Either you desperately want to believe it, or you missed the appointment at the optician, or we need to redefine healthy.

That's not the speech or the creepy grandpa I watched on television. Maybe you watched the fox news edit with A.I. enhancement.

Does this look like a sane, healthy man?

What about the face drooping? Strokes don't inspire confidence in health.

Let's not act like his words are proper English either. I've never seen him speak logically. It's always a slurry of semi (sometimes not) related clauses that together don't say anything significant.

This aids with recall if you don't need to remember exact facts (remember that biggly 300 million number) and it's absolutely a sign someone is masking mental decline. It doesn't mean he has dementia, but the effectual difference on a bad day is meaningless at a state event.

Assuming this guy is healthy is being complacent.

Wake up, babe, new cope just dropped.

As someone who knows multiple older people who had dementia… this is not it.

Maybe some regular “old brain” stuff but the man is his usual riffing off-the-cuff self.

Sorry guys. Suggest you watch a live clip of him taking questions - not just whatever MSNBC has edited.
