It could be it is not very advanced. He only has bad episodes so far, and yesterday was one of them. This is why Ivanka came in and broke up the meeting, she knew Daddy was not as focused as usual and why she went to SD with him. She did not want to go to SD, she went to babysit.

Now, that is not to say he is not a vindictive a hole, I believe that is a pre-existing condition with Trump.
