A clip of Donald Trump before he suffered brain damage

Look at the following clip. What happened to Donald Trump between 2008 and today? I've suggested before that he is suffering from some sort of brain damage and/or early onset of Alzheimer's. I still think that's the best explanation. It explains the hallucination of "thousands and thousands" of Muslims in Jersey City celebrating on 9/11, his anger and fear, his inability to focus or concentrate, his absurdities and non-sequitors, and a lot more. Maybe there are better explanations but I can't think of one.

daddy was a robe wearing kkk 'real estate' investor who berated, (along with young Donald) to death the 'weaker son'.

The strongest Son grows up with those family values. In school, the richie rich kid listed as "Ladies man", that Republican will never change. He doesn't know how.

He's already well-past Reagan's Alzheimer's progression while in office. Trump now speaks in short sentences, incomplete phrases, and disconnected ramblings.

of his opinion of the Clintons in his own words. I think it would be a powerful ad just to show what a fucking hypocrite he is.
Of course if he had one of the Clintons talking about what a good man he is it wouldn't work.

Republicans deserve the Donald in all his 'glory', their entire party has to stand by their man forever.

he's had a problem with attention span, honesty and a lack of vocabulary since that book came out.

I think he knew to schmooze the Senator from NY. It probably changes with his interests. This lends credence to the CT his campaign is a conspiracy to help Hillary get elected. The way he is definitely trying to lose and shoot his campaign in the foot or other extremities very often.

It's important to keep that in mind when listening to him. He had a reason for being so complimentary of Hillary then, whatever that was. His 'performance' running for president could be attributed to a mental deficit since 2008, but most likely he's just playing to his audience. He has no qualms with contradicting himself and outright lying.

where he is barely recognizable in comparison to the Trump we know today. Though he never had an extensive vocabulary, he used to speak more calmly and in complete sentences. It does appear that there is something really wrong with him.
