I'm a brain doc (Consultation-Liaison psych). For *years* Trump has shown uninterrupted, increasingly severe cognitive symptoms: he's incapable of linear thought *at baseline*. Whatever disrupted Biden's linear thought in the debate is at worst intermittent. Bonus: he's not an overt fascist.

Because trump has always rambled and made weird statements. The Biden decline is new and clearly rapid. Why is this so hard to understand?

IOW "Look what you made me do"
