    I don’t see anything different about his rambling, tbh. I think the only notable difference is him working out nicknames while in front of an audience instead of ahead of time.

    His talking points aren’t landing, so he’s fishing around for something that gets the reaction he’s looking for.

    I think he would have done the same if “build a wall and make Mexico pay for it” was met with confusion.

    He was always this incoherent, but he had “better” slogans to fall back on.

    I’d say it’s probably more due to him alienating most of his former team, and then surrounding himself with more incompetent yes men, than cognitive decline. His baseline of cognitive capacity wasn’t high in the first place.
