>>His thoughts are not organized. He rambles. Having a son with a language disability has made me keenly aware of how people sound versus what is inside their head. I can see him struggle with a word and its nuance. I've asked why he will "self-correct" which leads to nonfluency. He tells me that he is rethinking his word choice in real time. I tell him - he's better off not doing what I do in writing - constant streams of edits that leave odd sentences that are like Frankenstein's monsters of language. We didn't see FDR playing tennis because he had polio - in fact - he went out of his way to NOT be seen in his wheel chair. Comparing Biden who really has a life long language issue to someone who seems to have "acquired one" - is like mixing apples and oranges. There was a time when the Orange Menace could seem superficially glib. He's not that today. Given his age and diet, it is more likely brain disease than Biden who doesn't have the physical frailties. Physical frailty often presages mental decline though we can see from Steven Hawking, it is not a given. If we expect everyone to be glib and be able to answer complex questions off the cuff - well that is a certain kind of skill. Not having it may make them seem duller - and maybe they are. But not always. It's a cheap shot when in the hands of cultists or those with an agenda. Compare any live segment of the DementedCrimeBoss with one twenty plus years later. It is evident that something broke bad in his head . Still dumb as a rock and just as hostile... but now much less fluent. He could hold a glass of water then.
