Late-night comedians get a lot of low-hanging fruit these days from Donald Trump. Without paying the defeated ex-president a dime, Trump stars in videos used to ridicule him for lies, narcissism, acting like a buffoon, or appearing confused or senile. One day he suggests the US is doomed if he is not returned to the White House, the next day Mike Pence caused January 6, and every day he repeats one lie or the other and attacks Florida Governor Ron DeSantimonius.

Trump is guaranteed to get laughs. He likes being on TV and appears to be a stout believer in any publicity being good publicity. Does Trump purposely say outrageous things to get on TV?

Comedians and those of us who get our news from them are not the only people watching Trump closely these days. An army of amateur neurologists watch Trump closely, looking for anything that might prevent him from running for president in 2024 or, if he runs, winning. When they see something, they write about it.

Earlier this week, I did a Bing search on “signs that Trump is growing senile.” The search produced “about 404,000 results.” The top hits included:
