1. I recently saw a clip of Trump from a few years ago. His speech was animated and articulate.

It's obvious that his speech patterns and vocabulary have seriously deteriorated over the last several years. He uses the same words over and over again. His sentences ramble on and on without making a point. He can't stay on topic and generally doesn't make any sense when he speaks. If he is reading from a teleprompter, it sounds like a first grader trying to get through "run, Spot, run".

The look on his face is telling, as well. There are times when he looks confused and unable to grasp exactly what is going on. I don't favor armchair diagnoses and I'm not qualified to say if he has signs of dementia, but some of the things he says and does really make me wonder what is going on with him.
