She destroyed the city of San Francisco, it’s — and I own a big building there — it’s no — I shouldn’t talk about this but that’s OK I don’t give a damn because this is what I’m doing. I should say it’s the finest city in the world — sell and get the hell out of there, right? But I can’t do that. I don’t care, you know? I lost billions of dollars, billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, ‘What do you think you lost?’ I said, ‘Probably two, three billion. That’s OK, I don’t care.’ They say, ‘You think you’d do it again?’ And that’s the least of it. Nobody. They always say, I don’t know if you know. Lincoln was horribly treated. Uh, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all, that he was treated worse than any other president. I said, ‘Do that study again, because I think there’s nobody close to Trump.’ I even got shot! And who the hell knows where that came from, right?

Same as it ever was

Why do people keep saying this?! Sure, he babbled some when he ran in 2015, but at you could hear the words and insert your own meaning. We can't even pretend to parse anything out of this speech. Hell, his own supporters are walking out on his rallies.

If your grandpa was living alone and conversing with you like this, you would quietly be contemplating a rest home in his very near future. People this far gone can no longer live alone.

Go back to the 80s and 00s and have a listen. Really. Watch a video or three. Doesn't matter if you agree with what he was saying, his speech was clear, on target.

Can't say when I noticed the sharp decline, hard to spot, a boiled frog thing. 2019 I think? Compared to then, the man has fallen off a cliff.

I was told to read the transcripts back in 2017-2018, and did. This is what he always sounded like to me. A fucking moron. Now, he’s an older moron. I’m surprised this is news to anyone.

He has always told rambling, near-incoherent stories. He has always lied profusely.

What's new is how hes slurring his words, and how lethargic he is. It was especially noticable in his recent performance on the Lex Fridman show podcast.

The early signs of dementia are unavoidable at this point. It might only be a matter of time until Trump has his "We finally beat Medicare" moment.

If even Trump supporters start noticing that he is spewing nonsense, it must have become seriously bad. They tended to overlook quite some of his brain-dead output so far, I thought they had become immune to senseless drivel.

He's talking like my grandpa did a few weeks before he dropped dead, so fingers crossed I guess

People with access to healthcare can hang on while deteriorating well beyond where he is over the course of many years.

No shit, the dude is suffering serious cognitive decline and we've ignored it the last 6 years.

We haven't ignored it.

His cult did.

Like Democrats did Biden's

I'm not USian, but I've seen online Democrats complaining about Biden as often, if not more, than Republicans.

Democrats defended him tooth and nail. They spit out venomous accusations at anyone critical of him. They buried their head in the sand over the last several years about his cognitive decline by demanding it was a speech impediment, which was NEVER present in any of his speeches prior to 2008

Well, there are millions of them, so both things can be true. MY personal experience is seeing them criticizing more than defending.

Criticizing is irrelevant when they won't hold them accountable. For all intents Biden could have said 'I could kill 30,000 Palestinian children and not lose a single voter.'

If he wasn't losing voters, why was he behind Trump in the polls?

If Biden stayed in the race those very same people that criticized him would have still voted for him. Meaning that criticism was performative.
