    Much as I’d like to buy into the idea that Trump suffers from advanced cognitive decline, I think the balance of evidence points towards his odd posture specifically being the result of wearing shoes with lifts and/or heels on them to enhance is height, and possibly also shapewear that disguises his paunch but also constricts his range of motion.

    That said, the “Man woman person camera TV” episode is strong independent evidence of either dementia or general intelligence on the level of a nematode – but the way he carries himself appears (ironically) to be a result of his vanity rather than his spongy brain.

      I could definitely believe that he’s wearing platforms and a girdle, and that those contribute most to his weird posture.

      But I don’t think you can listen to him speak without realizing he’s in cognitive decline. He’s noticably less coherent than he was in previous campaigns.
