He’s tethered to a teleprompter, fed only pre-approved questions, and speaks in short increments to friendly audiences. Rumors are floating about that his dementia is quite advanced. Rush Limbaugh came up with a theory that suggests that those rumors are correct. On Sunday, ( Thomas Lifson reprinted a post) that’s been circulating on the internet.
