Two things you should never see are the word "Trump" and "articulate" in the same sentence. He has the vocabulary, and mental capacity of about a 6 year old, maybe 7.

A 6 or 7-year-old could have written your post.

You can name a bunch of people but that still does not mean all people except Trump have no problem with aging and speech.
Well, you apparently haven't seen them in interviews lately, so I disagree. But please feel free to post proof, as people did with Trump's current 'dumbed down' language compared to 10 years ago.

Lightbulb Trump used to be more articulate; What's happened?

He got older.

He got fatter.

He's in over his head.

W/O a life jacket.

It stacks up after awhile.

I'll pass. I know I'm correct.

Perhaps that's why so many here adore Donald Trump.

Yes, I've noticed that many who credit a politician with having accomplished a lot often seem baffled by the word specifics when they're requested.

Every one knows by now that talk shows and interviews are often rehearsed and scripted. In addition, the final product is edited. White House press conference will sometimes have that same element where the questions have to be submitted in advance. The difference is that talk shows have staff that will help the guest.

I thought this was a much better article.

He's a Performance Artist Pretending to be a Great Manager - POLITICO Magazine

He suffers a little from being on reality shows where it had to be dumbed down for the audience and drama is necessary to keep the viewers interested. Hence, he tends to react very emotionally now when he speaks.

He's old. Hillary used to lie without batting an eye but now she has fits and falls down. Obama was said to be articulate and if he wasn't reading a teleprompter or being fed what to say all he could do is stammer and stutter and go " uh uh uh".
Clinton was Mr. smooth and now he's in a syphillitic fugue. Even Al Gore's packed on the pounds and huffs and puffs.
