Trump's Second Term

Donald says that if Republicans lose in North Carolina he will use the power of his office to deny US Marine Corps veterans’ claims for medical treatment.

So, not only is it a straightforward bribe, but you're bribing those voters with the promise of settling legitimate claims, which, as the name implies, ought to be settled anyway. And if you don't win, you don't intend to settle legitimate claims.

It's almost as if you were some kind of cheap crook with no sense of honour whatsoever and were completely unfit for the supposedly dignified office you have, quite incredibly, been re-elected to.

His greatest (s) hits tour is quite repetitive and boring, save for the (not) so closeted homosexual stuff.
One of the effects of dementia is a deterioration of the part of the brain that controls inhibitions. Patients say things they previously would have filtered. It also affects decision making and self control.

Well, we're hardly likely to be able to spot declines in his decision making or self control, so losing inhibition in his speech may be the only sign we get.
