It's wild to go back and watch him in 2016 as a comparison. His manner of speech has always been so bizarre that it's easy to forget that it's not just him "being Trump", there's also a very obvious and severe decline since then.
Meanwhile, all the people who were screaming "Dementia Joe" every two minutes from 2021 to 2024 seem to be conveniently silent this time...
To be scrupulous, Washington Post ran a Philip Bump analysis article on Trump's Age Problem last summer. I think the media believes it has therefore examined all possible angles, implications and ramifications of Trump's decompensation already. No need to belabor the point.
