Yeah, I remember what he was like in the 80s. While I still wouldn’t call it mentally sharp, there does seem to have been a decline recently. Moreover, saying he isn’t as sharp as he once was doesn’t necessarily imply that he was all that sharp before. Perhaps I took a bit of a cheap shot.
Even at the start of his presidential run he basically sounded like what you get if you just press next on your phone keyboard autocomplete suggestions. Not sure if you can really say he got worse than that.
If you go look at old interviews of him from the '80s, he wasn’t ever necessarily smart, but at least he was coherent.

I wouldn’t even say the decline was recent. Early as the 00s he clearly was losing his grip in reality and the ability to make coherent sentences.
