11. I wish wed had a book like this in the early years of the Reagan administration

The underlying message is about his cognitive decline. The gossipy parts are juicy but the real meat is about how he can’t remember people he’d met a year ago, how he repeats the same stories multiple times in the span of a few minutes. These are things that can be confirmed by anybody who has been in contact with him recently. Now we are hearing that members of Congress are taking his health more seriously, asking doctors from Duty to Warn to testify, and you see how knowledge is trickling up the chain.

The evidence for treason is already out there, both in mueller’s hands and for anybody else who is paying attention to see. *But the evidence of his cognitive decline (and the clear and present danger to us that comes with that) is the one thing that needs to be hammered home whenever discussing Wolff’s book.*
