The former US president recently made headlines with some confused and incoherent speeches. A fact that is setting off alarm bells among political observers, as reported by the American "The Guardian" among others. Donald Trump on the decline - that's why his election success is increasingly in jeopardy The 60th election for President and Vice President of the United States will take place on November 5th. And Donald Trump has only one wish: He wants to return to the White House. But will he succeed? Experts who have closely analyzed Trump's appearances in recent weeks believe that it could be difficult for "The Don" to prevail against his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. Trump "on the verge of a final collapse": "The Don's" confused appearances alarm political observers The main reason for this is Trump's well-documented "incoherence". In common parlance, incoherence means "lack of coherence". In interviews with American journalist David Smith of the "Guardian", critics of the former president raise the alarm that his penchant for babbling and digressing during his rallies indicates that he is on the verge of "a final collapse", as Smith put it. Reports of "cognitive decline" - "Trump increasingly slurs or stumbles over his words" As evidence, Smith cites in the Guardian: "Trump increasingly slurs or stumbles over his words, raising fears of cognitive decline. He is slipping in the polls against Kamala Harris and knows that a defeat could lead to criminal prosecution and even prison." He goes on to note: "Trump moved from one topic to another so quickly that it was sometimes difficult to keep track of what he meant." "He is definitely more undisciplined, confused and disturbed" Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University, seems to see it similarly. He says of Trump: "He is definitely more undisciplined, confused and disturbed. He has always had these tendencies, but they have become more pronounced as he has gotten older. The Hannibal Lecter stuff or the shark-versus-electrocution stuff is just crazy and should be discussed on that basis." At the same time, he warned that it would be a big mistake "to just talk about Trump being out of balance or crazy." "You also have to talk about how dangerous and regressive what he says is. We should also emphasize the extreme racism and misogyny," said Lichtman. Donald Trump behaves like a sixth-grader Elaine Kamarck of the Brookings Institute also believes that Trump is no longer as effective as he was four years ago. She told the Guardian: "He reminds me of a sixth-grader who has read something out loud at the front of the class and is generally angry that he is there and not on the football field." Expert warns of Trump's re-election - "It's dangerous. It's authoritarian. It's anti-democratic" The former Republican and well-known Trump critic Tara Setmayer warns urgently of a possible re-election of the Republican: "We are being tested and our democracy is at stake, because what Donald Trump is saying is not just crazy nonsense. It's dangerous. It's authoritarian. It's anti-democratic. It's the ideology of hostility towards others. For Trump, we are not all the same and American voters have to make a decision about what country they want to live in and what future they want to leave for their children."
