In Japan and South Korea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American security guarantees – whether the U.S. will come to their aid in the event of a war. This has been turbo-charged by Donald Trump’s tough treatment of traditional U.S. allies, which has some in Tokyo and Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-nuclear policies.

    Watch the videos. There are interviews in the 80s or 90s where there is a clear train of thought and a logical progression to his statements. His phone interview after 9/11 is less coherent, but not too bad from a grammatical and logical standpoint. These days, he can’t string together 2 or 3 complete sentences about a single topic. Note that none of this is related to the truth or accuracy of his statements.

      If you watch something like the Charlie Kirk service, sometimes he can’t even string a complete sentence together without losing his train of thought, or at least forgetting the words he wants to use. He sounds like my granddad before he died - he’ll talk coherently for a minute or two, but if he has to talk for more than 2 or 3 minutes at a stretch, he starts falling apart and can’t string words or concepts together.
