Trump appears to be suffering from a serious cognitive decline since he was last president. He was never the sharpest spoon in the drawer, but it's bad now. If he's still alive in five years, I don't think he'll be capable of doing anything other than drooling on himself.

That sort of does not answer the question, seeing some US senators in the news that are barely pushed around.

I wonder if the stress of being in court every day is starting to take a toll.

Trump is old. Republicans have been stressing how old Biden is--and using his life-long speech impediment as evidence--but Trump trails Biden by only four years of age. They're both at an age where you start seeing a sharp divergence in cognitive abilities, where some people take a nosedive into dementia and senility, while other people retain their mental faculties while their body fails. Trump seems to be the former.
