Trump's situation has nothing to do with his age or mental acuity. We've had moron presidents before. Biden was supposedly a vegetable at the same time "he" was guiding us to a soft landing from COVID that made most other developed nations extremely envious.
It has everything to do with his public support for heinous and moronic and outright unconstitutional acts, and the way that support is pushed from the Legislative arm of the government. Without the majorities Republicans hold in Congress, Trump could have been rightfully removed months ago.
The President is not as powerful as Trump thinks he is. Congressional Republicans are using him as a lightning rod to keep pressure off their backs. They are mildly beholden to him in certain specifics, in that if Trump tells his base to primary you they often will, but they are not preventing Trump from doing stupid shit that even his base doesn't totally support that will objectively hurt everyone like this Iran war.
Reforming the Presidency cannot change anything because the paper already says he can't do these things. It doesn't matter as long as other people just pretend they don't hold the power they do.
Trump has been a moron, a simpleton, a grifter his entire life. None of this comes from mental deterioration. He's just a fucking moron who only knows retribution and grifting and refusing to pay contracts. A 35 year old Trump would be doing nothing different.
