the fact that he rarely stands for any public appearance now.

All those Oval Office shots have him in the middle (no surprise) but nowadays he is almost always seated with his posse behind him. And when he sits, he falls asleep in the most obvious posture. These scenes look to me like people standing around a hospital bed, waiting for the guy to die.

The only way he could stay awake in the NBNC interview was that he was screaming continuously. And to him, this is normal. Tomorrow he won't even remember it -- literally. That is how dementia works. I've seen it 1000 times. And I guess he has already agreed to a follow-up interview with Welker. WTF? This guy is pretty close to flatline mentally.
