He has/d aphasia. It is a speech and language disruption, following stroke in the areas of the brain that control speech and language. Look it up people. Clearly, he worked incredibly hard to recover from it, and people can get depressed at feeling alienated by their difficulty communicating. Maybe the NYT should call and talk to the American Speech Language and Hearing Association or the Aphasiology Association. This is a disorder that’s been known to mankind as long as man has been around. But that would be doing their homework being responsible and that’s something that’s just beyond the scope of the New York Times these days.

They don't seriously believe he's got mental health issues. They are simply beginning the process of getting rid of a free thinker who they thought was in the bag for their leftist insanity.

But, that would require those dullards at NYT to do primary research ..

When he was recovering from his stroke, I spent some time listening carefully to his speeches and interviews. Despite the language difficulties, you could still see he was smart underneath, just struggling to articulate.

Which is the challenge of aphasia- it impacts the communication routes, not the underlying intellectual or cognitive abilities. Of course there are different types and severities depending on extent and location of brain involvement. It’s been great to see him recover.
