Very common in the elderly, especially with comorbidities. Like obesity and psychosis.

As if it will make any difference to the people frothing at the mouth to vote for him in order to stick it to the libs...

Sure, but important not to view it as a natural byproduct of aging and overlook treatable cases.

Since I was not familiar with the term 'sundowning' in this context, I did a google search:

Answer From Jonathan Graff-Radford, M.D. The term "sundowning" refers to a state of confusion that occurs in the late afternoon and lasts into the night. Sundowning can cause various behaviors, such as confusion, anxiety, aggression or ignoring directions.Mar 26, 2024

So now that's new definition. I other than actual sunset, I associated it that Gordon Lightfoot song and small towns where non-whites had to be out of town by sunset.

I think Trump will be there, but I have no hunch on how he will act. It seems most likely that he will try to show he is in control - in control of himself, Biden and the moderators. But at this point in his life, I'm not at all convinced that he can control himself - especially when he will (or should) be challenged on things like The Big Lie and the coup attempt.

With no audience to feed off The Rapist will be low energy.

Uncharted territory, might even make the moderators the stars of the night. Should have a rating panel like the prime time shows - after all it is entertainment.
