Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:

Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.

I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

    [...] He got Lil Kim from North Korea to sit down and talk, at least half seriously.

    And all the while that talking went on the crazy fat kid played the stupid, fat, orange man like a violin. He advanced his illegal nuclear weapons program rapidly during that time. All the while he pretended to shut down the completed phases as a concession or tribute to the stupid, fat, orange man. Remember the early rounds of missile tests? Once that stage of missile testing was complete, he claimed to shut it down as a concession or tribute to the stupid, fat, orange man. Almost the same day, the plutonium-producing facilities started producing so much steam it could be seen in satellite images available to the public. etc. Same for Iran, though the interaction was more antagonistic on the surface. Both countries aim to use their newly acquired capabilities in offense as soon as they have enough of a stockpile for multiple strikes against key targets.

    [...] Senile is a plausible explanation.

    However,I think you're correct in that guess. Senility does explain a lot of the recent years' antics and utterances from the stupid, fat, orange man. SARS-CoV-2 is only like to make that worse. He has already had ministrokes, the virus can set him up for a more serious one (or two) if it works in old people like it does in younger ones.
