Decompensation

During a section of his speech on energy, he slipped seemingly at random in an apparent dig at Hunter Biden, the president’s son, and his “laptop from hell.”

As soon as Trump had committed to slashing energy prices by “half, at least half” within 12 months or “a maximum of 18” of his potential presidency, he hedged, seemingly off script: “If it doesn’t work out, you’ll say, oh well, I voted for him and he still got it down a lot.”

That gets another "?", at least one. Can the 25th Amendment be applied prospectively to candidates for president? No, right? I have noticed a difference from his previous free association speeches and I tell you sincerely, his mental/emotional state currently troubles me more than before.
