I dunno you guys. I entertained your argument and watched the 4 minute clip. He is absolutely pantomiming oral sex and the crowd knows it too, they react immediately. He's doing it on purpose.
You're right that he seems more lucid in the full clip but this is significantly more obscene than he's been in the past.

I've been in arguments with my husband about this. My grandfather had dementia and increasingly Trump's slips are eerily similar. The Arnold Palmer thing was not normal. The events tripling in length are not normal. And the sexual disinhibition is a real thing with dementia. He's still quite lucid but as others have noted, when this kind of thing picks up steam it can move breathtakingly fast.
The campaigning he's doing is enormously exhausting and would test anyone. But is there something going on that differs substantially from 4 and 8 years ago? Absolutely yes, and we've watched it progress notably over the last six months.
At 3:00 in the video, he does indeed pantomime oral sex. But I think it's less of dementia, and more of him knowing that absolutely nothing he does can hurt him. No matter how crude and disgusting he and the people around him are, he's confident he'll win. And I don't think that's dementia.

Yes, I watched it one more time, more carefully. I've changed my mind. I think Gary Marcus and you are right.
