I think what we are witnessing isn’t so much that he’s trying to suck up to Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent or triangulate his way to reelection, rather I think this is a result of personality changes that are related to his stroke. You’re probably used to seeing this kind of thing with dementia patients as the disease progresses, but it’s not uncommon in stroke patients, depending on where the lesions (damaged tissue) are located.
