That's classic trump, honestly. It's incoherent and insane, but not any different from the last decade.

He has gone downhill. Not since 2016--he was about as bad then as he is now. But if you look at his interviews from the early 90s, it was clear he could at least string three words together and make some kind of sense.

Here's an interview with him by Barbra Walters from 1990:

Skip ahead to the three minute mark. He uses some of the same phrases that he does today, like "people need to understand the press is incredibly unfair in this country". It was clear back then that he was a scumbag, and Walters does not let him get away with his bullshit, but he can articulate a properly structured sentence.
