Do you think the podcasters are right about Trump showing signs of dementia?

Dementia is an umbrella term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life, affecting memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior, caused by various diseases damaging brain cells.

It's not a specific illness but a syndrome with many types, like Alzheimer's (most common) or vascular dementia, characterized by progressive cognitive and functional impairment, including memory loss, confusion, personality changes, and difficulties with daily tasks.

Key Characteristics
Cognitive Decline: Impairment in memory, thinking speed, language, problem-solving, or understanding.

Functional Impact: Difficulties performing everyday activities like eating, dressing, or managing finances.

Behavioral Changes: Mood swings, anxiety, depression, agitation, or personality shifts.

Progressive Nature: Symptoms worsen over time as more brain cells die.

Common Types & Causes
Alzheimer's Disease: Most frequent cause, involving abnormal protein buildup.

Vascular Dementia: Due to reduced blood flow to the brain, often after strokes, causing sudden or gradual decline.

Lewy Body Dementia: Associated with protein deposits (Lewy bodies) in the brain.

Mixed Dementia: A combination of two or more types, often Alzheimer's and vascular.

Key Takeaway
Dementia isn't normal aging; it's a serious condition where the brain stops working properly, requiring support for memory, thinking, and daily living.

@BizSuitStacy You think so?

@BizSuitStacy Like distractibility, hyperfocus is thought to result from abnormally low levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain’s frontal lobes. This dopamine deficiency makes it hard to “shift gears” to take up boring-but-necessary tasks.
@Khenpal1 Oh wow...so you've disgnosed Trump with ADHD? Glad you've had an opportunity to actually test him, and aren't pulling that out of your bum. 🙄
@Ximenajacoba Yep, I do think so.

Some people hate Trump. But to suggest he's suffering from dementia as he runs circles around his opposition is pretty rich. Despite repeated failed efforts from the left to stop Trump...impeachment, arrests, assassination attempts...he's been several steps ahead of them.

Contrast that with Biden. Did those same podcasters push the "Biden is sharp as a tack" narrative?

@BizSuitStacy In 1999, after a six-year struggle with Alzheimer's, Fred Trump passed away at the age of 93. Fred Trump, Donald Trump's father, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (or early dementia) around 1993, a condition his son, Donald Trump, allegedly downplayed and ignored, even claiming his father was "very, very sharp" in a 2000 deposition while secretly recording his sister, Maryanne, revealed he was in "dementia" as the estate was being transferred to Donald, highlighting family disputes over his declining health and wealth.

@BizSuitStacy Fred Trump Sr., father of President Donald Trump, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in the early 1990s. As his condition worsened, family members created a setup at the Trump Organization office in Brooklyn where he could continue going to work daily, sorting and signing blank pieces of paper to maintain the illusion of productivity and keep him calm. This "pretend office" arrangement lasted into his final years, allowing his routine while shielding him from agitation at home.
Donald Trump's niece, Mary L. Trump, detailed in her book how her grandfather's dementia led to memory loss and disorientation, prompting such accommodations. Reports indicate the phone on his desk was rigged to only reach his secretary, reinforcing the pretense of authority. Fred Sr. died in 1999 at age 93 after nearly a decade of decline.
@Khenpal1 Ohhh, I see...so you have absolutely no basis for your claims, or the background to back it up.

Trump's father died from Alzheimer's, so the only conclusion is Trump MUST have it too. 🤣🤣🤣

@Khenpal1 This you, diagnosis boy? 👇

@carpediem Rush Limbaugh used to say something to the effect that he knew what liberals were going to think and say, before they thought and said it. I think that we've all gotten to that same point.

@BizSuitStacy Trump himself says did I said that ?, on record. "I don't remember saying that," Trump answered. "As good as my memory is, I don't remember that, but I have a good memory." Trump has the "best memory of all time," except when it's time for accountability. More than two dozen times, Trump's answers to Mueller included phrases “I can't remember” or “I do not recall.”Trump referred to 9/11 as 7–11. Or has mixed up peoples names repeatedly. Or thinks water can make a magnet stop working. Or thinks Biden defeated Obama. “Frontotemporal dementia", affecting intelligence, behavior, judgement, EMPATHY, bowel control, and memory.Plus, when narcissists like Trump screw up, they can’t help but double down and act like they meant to do it. He is in bad shape physically as well, and his fast food fetish isn’t helping that. Aphasia or the inability to communicate effectively or find the right words is an early sign of Alzheimer’s.Aggression, paranoia, delusions and making things up are other signs. Sound familiar?Look up DSM 301.81 anywhere on the internet that pleases you. It’s a genetic, hereditary disorder (6 X more likely in males than females) where the adult can achieve the normal intellect, but the area where emotional development occurs is greatly diminished (hippocampus).

Consequently they may be a PhD, but emotionally they are a two year old child. “I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. They’re noisy. They kill the birds.They’re like sort of white, but one is like an orange-white. It’s my favorite color, orange. I really like orange, its my favorite. I think most notice but do not know how to disembark from crazy train. Pride can be a strong impediment to change.
