@Dave_Goldsmith I think, to the contrary, that 1) Trump is measurably and discernably older now than in 2016 and 2) he was seen "back then" as daring, shocking, willing to contravene long-observed social boundary lines.

Now he's increasingly seen as a tired old man who has nothing to offer but the same tired old bitter brew, and even his followers are walking away — as they did in discernible numbers when he rallied in Atlanta.
