The point about performing conversational algebra to make sense of his statements to the conclusion that he's repeating stuff from advisers is really interesting.
Also the change in the way he talks since, say, ten years ago. I would go further and say his temperament and politics have changed too. Given his age, it could be early signs of dementia or some other degenerative brain disease. Early enough to not be officially diagnosed but obvious enough for the people closest to him.
As a result he says pretty awful things off the cuff in public that are interpreted as "speaking the truth" to some of his supporters. I've seen this before.
Also the fact his family are so involved...
