I'm not sure. After the debate, one of the narratives was he was at NATO summits and was jetlagged, that he was sick, that he caught covid, etc. etc.

I remember hearing the news talkers saying how he was furiously doing debate prep for his one big debate. I distinctly remember Fox and right wing folks saying they anticipated he would use adderall or cocaine to seem more energetic and were actively lowering expectations for Trump.

It was a tough time.
