While I can see it as a symptom of becoming addle-brained, it also serves as a reminder to his racist followers: “A black man was president. Vote for me and I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen again.” Even if he is addled, it could just be he used to be better at remembering to not be quite so blatant about the racist part, but he can stop holding back even as loosely as he was – it’s been proven that it only makes him more popular with his base.
