Actually, we've had several. Reagan's last run certainly qualifies, and Woodrow Wilson's may have as well. The most recent was in 2016, and Mr. Senility won. BTW, he's running again.
Reagan didn't start showing some obvious signs until the end of his second term. Woodrow Wilson doesn't matter today. I'm sorry but Trump is still pretty sharp and able to think on his feet and still pretty energetic as well.
Trump just rambles ... no thought is involved, as far as I can tell.
It may be little more than intellectual laziness. Most people find something interesting enough aside from their pleasure and self-esteem to attract their attention. I must; I bore myself.
