“I know China very well, President Xi is a friend of mine, I know him very well…The first thing they’re going to do is say you are not allowed to play ice hockey anymore. That’s not good. Canada’s not going to like that,” the president added.

I feel like people throw the dementia diagnosis at every stupid thing he says, when it’s probably just a lifelong habit of being a belligerent dumbass with money.
Look at videos of him speaking in the 80s, after 9/11, during his 2016 campaign, and now. He’s always been a narcissistic prick, and was showing clear signs of decline in 2016 to 2020, but it’s worse now.
We don’t have to guess about these things, we have documented records of him showing his best face throughout the years, and it’s clear he’s becoming less articulate and having less control (or desire to control) what he says. The latter may certainly be choice, but the former doesn’t really look like it. This isn’t a matter of him using simpler language to appeal to his audience, this is him having less capability to form coherent thoughts.
Yeah as a helper to 3 different elderly dementia relatives, it varies day to day and sleep schedules affect it. Also sunlight and mornings seemed to be the most coherent/aware times in general. Sun-downing is very much a thing and made evenings some of the hardest moments.
Why not both?
