I actually listened to him for a good 10 minutes of this roundtable. There were no teleprompters, no notes. He spoke without external direction and made some sense (well, leaving behind the senseless politics for a moment).
We are making a mistake portraying him as completely senile.
When he handles some off the cuff tough questions from hostile media, then I will believe he is coherent.
I have not seen it yet.
Kinda like the Oddfather?

Then tell us what a Quartermaster in the Ladies Dept is, please.
It didn’t make sense to me.
About 2 weeks ago, he showed he had no idea how minimum wage jobs work. He said McDonalds forces people to sign “No Compete Contracts” and a McDonald’s worker can’t go across the street and make 25 cents more an hour — and we have to stop it, he said.
He is clueless.

No he is not completely senile but the cognitive decline is evident. Anyone can mis speak a word, like Iran for Iraq, but the way he trails off, and loses his train of thought, is not just normal age-related slowing. Whatever this clip was really about, he loses his way when he shouldn’t. He was trying to make some point, no doubt, but he couldn’t make it without stumbling. That’s bad. And no you can’t fake that kind of bumbling.
What time of day was it?
Was this from earlier in the day? Even people with early stage dementia/Alzheimers usually decline later in the day - “sundowning”.
I agree. The “debates” will consist of questions he’s answered hundreds of times. We can’t count on the debates as our silver bullet.
That's right. Trump aides read this.
