Trump's claim is probably true. His entire persona 25 years ago was based on a two-word slogan - 'you're fired!' Most three year olds have more complex personalities.
While he's dozing, Don isn't demonstrating that he's a vapid fool. So he is actually slightly sharper than he was 25 years ago.

‘Radical’ Zohran Mamdani will ‘devastate’ New York City if elected mayor
Sky News contributor Kristin Tate weighs in on the New York City mayoral race, predicting “anti-American” Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani will “destroy” the city if elected. “The fact that a socialist, anti-American radical is about to be elected the mayor of our largest, most important city tells you that there’s a mandate for this kind of radicalism on the left,” Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “The radical left has not been defeated, despite President Trump’s fantastic and wonderful victory last year. “This Mamdani would almost certainly destroy New York City and turn it into another burned out once great city like Detroit. “It would be devastating to the United States to see New York City go in that direction.”
