Maybe he is recovering, though. He is kind of old, covid could have hit him hard. He might not have taken his booster shot on time.

They published a 3.5 min phone call he made today with campaign. However the weird things were: (a) no interaction at all with other callers, like someone pressed play on recording....even when other side of call was cheering and clapping he just get plowing thru his message non-stop. (b) he was extraordinarily good with numbers and names...rattling off list of numbers of new campaign offices and thanking long list of personnel by name....odd considering a week ago he couldn't remember his own Sec of Defense name and instead called him "the black man"

Perhaps he is alive but they pre-recorded this message....maybe editing together a few different takes? Or maybe AI is that good? (I will say that it sounded very natural -- it did sound real).
