MSNBC's Chris Hayes plays devastating supercut of Trump's 'pretty obvious mental decline'

An MSNBC host said former President Donald Trump's cognitive struggles are becoming more obvious by the day — and it's gotten to the point where he has trouble formulating a coherent policy statement anymore.

"If elected, he will be the oldest person to ever be sworn in as President of the United States," said Chris Hayes on Thursday's edition of "All In." "He's a man that's suffering from pretty obvious mental decline. But in contrast to the breathless coverage of Joe Biden's age and fitness ... we are not seeing nearly as much discussion about Trump's diminished mental acuity."

Reporters, noted Hayes, seem to be "grading Trump on a curve" because "he's always been rambling and incoherent."

But Hayes believes it's worse than it used to be. As evidence, Hayes displayed a supercut of several recent Trump word salads.

"The transgender thing is incredible. Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what's going to happen with your child," said Trump in one clip.

"The radical, you know, you can have an abortion in the ninth month and then states, you are allowed to kill the baby after the baby is born," he said in another.

"It kills our birds. If you want to see a bird cemetery, go under a windmill sometime," he said in yet another.

Hayes called the statements "obvious and transparent lies."

"I don't think any serious person believes any of that," he said. "The guy just said stuff ... I genuinely can't tell if he believes it or not. Is there a line anymore between deception and delusion?"

But the real topper, he noted, was when Trump was asked today at an economic forum what specific legislation he'd support on child care reform, and he offered up this response.

"I was sitting down and somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka were so impactful on that issue, it's a very important issue," said Trump. "But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because childcare is childcare, you know, it's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to, but they'll get used to it very quickly. And it's not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they will have a very substantial tax where they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including childcare, that it's going to take care, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time."

Trump proceeded to speak in the same vein for another minute, and concluded, "This is about America First. This is about Make America Great Again. We have to do it because right now we are a failing nation."

"MAGA, did you get all that?" said Hayes, fighting back laughter. "Remember, the question was, what specific piece of legislation will you advance to keep child care costs down?"
