Donald Trump appears to be in cognitive decline, and this is not just my opinion. It is also the opinion of author Ramin Setoodeh, who interviewed Donald Trump numerous times for his new book about Donald Trump, called "Apprentice In Wonderland."
The book was just released this week and, of course, the author went on a media tour. The biggest topic was not Trump, but rather his apparent cognitive and mental decline. From forgetting who the interviewer was - just ONE month after last sitting down with him, to insisting that Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016, even though she died in 2014...it is clear that something is short circuiting in Trump's noggin.
Setoodeh joined Kaitlin Collins on CNN to discuss his observations, and it was illuminating. He interviewed Trump a total of six times, more than any other journalist, following his removal from office in 2021.
SETOODEH: Meandering and confusing is right. He goes from one story to the next. He struggles with the chronology of events. He seems very upset that he wasn't respected by certain celebrities in the White House...But there was some cognitive questions about where he was, and what he was thinking. And he would -- he would, from time to time become confused.
