From a comment on the article:

Trump called his wife Mercedes and in a tweet he called her Melanie. He confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi numerous times. He confused a picture of E Jean Carroll with his former wife - Marla Maples. He kept indicating that he is running against Obama. Following is from Jennifer Rubin excerpt:

"Some examples of Trump’s non-words: Beneficiaries becomes “benefishes.” Renovations become “renoversh.” Pivotal became “pivobal.” Obama became “obamna.” Missiles became “mishiz.” Christmas became “Crissus.” Bipartisan became “bipars.” …

Trump also engages in what we call “tangential speech.” He just becomes incomprehensible when he engages in free association word salad speech that is all over the place. Again, that’s a sign of real brain damage, not being old, not being slow, not losing a step ... but of severe cognitive deterioration. What I don’t understand is why those clips aren’t replayed over and over in the mainstream media. Isn’t Trump babbling incoherently the most newsworthy part of his rally? You can be sure it would be if it were Biden."

From Jennifer Rubin 3 20 2024

Dr. John Gartner’s Trump dementia petition……. signed by hundreds of mental health professionals, pointing to obvious signs of Trump’s mental dysfunction.

At one point, Trump was making nonsense sounds, struggling to form even a single word. At one of his events, he said “We’ll re-ve-du. Ohhhh.” At that moment, Trump took a long-defeated sigh, and looked up at the ceiling blankly, looking confused and de-energized. Finally, Trump is sometimes reduced to simply vocalizing nonsense sounds that are not words at all like an infant. For example, at a recent rally Trump said “Gang, boom. This is me. I hear bing.” Trump is literally babbling nonsensically and his followers at these rallies, or interviewers on right-wing media, are nodding their heads in appreciation like he makes sense. This is deeply disturbing.

.. failure of so many media outlets to ....discuss Trump’s mental function is inexcusable."
