I hate to admit it, but I think you’re right, at least in this instance. He flipped the first two syllables of ‘be reducing’ so it came out “re-be-du…”. I’ve seen that clip several times, but most clips cut off right at the “re-be-du…” and that weird sigh he makes right after, which gives the impression that he’s really losing it. That clip shows him saying what he meant to say right after, which gives the flub a bit more context.

You know what I also hate? I hate that I’m wishing accelerated dementia on anybody, even trump, but this is what things have come to. The fascist idiot is far too close to regaining the Oval Office for my comfort, and it seems like the most likely way to ensure he doesn’t at this point is, if he becomes so incapacitated mentally that there’s no denying it, before the election.

And I’m not actually wishing that trump _ **get** _ dementia, just that _ **if** _ he is going to (not unlikely given his age, habits and family history) that it be sooner rather than later.
