He's been showing his age for a long time - there's a reason he had to take a dementia test during his presidency. But it hasn't been "turn Q&A into standing around listening to music without warning" bad until very recently. Seems like a sharp turn downward started around the start of August?

I can't remember a time he wasn't like that.

Have you read any of his speeches since 2016? He changes subject several times each sentence and that is just the default setting.
