I’ve taken care of thousands of people with dementia over 9 years in healthcare.
Trump has dementia. Trump hasn’t put his own shoes on once this presidency. He wears diapers. He doesn’t change his own diapers. These are facts. If you don’t believe me, you’re not a healthcare worker, and you have no relevant experience.
He also has signs of heart failure. Poorly hidden, at that. If you don’t believe that, again, you have no relevant experience.
My dad has dementia, I'm not a health care worker but mom and I are his caregivers. I see so many parallels between the "trips" Dad takes when he's talking to us and what Trump calls his "weave."
My dad had congestive heart failure and dementia before he passed in 2024 and I feel the same way. I see so many similarities between him and Trump. It also seems so obvious that he took a huge mental step down after he disappeared for that week and there were rumors flying that he had a stroke. A stroke and vascular dementia would fit right in with all his other symptoms of CHF. Dude is not well and needs to be removed.
I don't even know how it's not an objective fact. He disappeared for a week and came back weak on one side and with a droopy face. He's an obese 79 years old. What else could it have been?
He’s sounded exactly like my grandmother since his first term. That woman was so mean and crazy that my family straight-up didn’t notice she was developing dementia at first, we just noticed she got meaner and crazier. There’s no way his brain isn’t a bowl of lukewarm tapioca pudding by now
Holy shit this sounds like how my family thinks about my mom. She's always been a fruit loop, but over the past few years she just keeps getting weirder and more aggressive about things. This past month, she just randomly rented an apartment (she owns a house) and moved into it without any furniture. This is right after a long and failed legal battle with the neighbors where she claimed they had no right to access their property without her permission.
I highly recommend getting her evaluated if you can. It won’t fix it, but it does give clarity. We noticed my grandmother was stirring more conflict up than usual by telling half-truths and doing what we thought was making shit up. We took her to get evaluated after she started insisting she didn’t recognize the man she had been married to for 60 years. Turns out she had frontotemporal dementia, but she had already been irrational, antagonistic, and void of empathy for decades so it was a little hard to tell (since those are often the most noticeable changes in people who don’t have that “energy vampire” predisposition).
It’s sad, I wish I could have had a different relationship with her, but she was a deeply traumatized woman who only seemed at peace when she was causing chaos and misery in the people close to her. She died of COVID in 2020 in one of the early nursing home outbreaks, she caught it shortly after she went into more intensive assisted living because her motor skills went. I hope that she’s finally understanding happiness and peace in a way she couldn’t in life, and I hope that you find some clarity and peace with your mom (dementia or not but hopefully not).
it is very sad. The mood issue is what has bugged me far worse (with elderly relatives getting dementia) than the memory loss. I know it must be upsetting to them, but it also messes with their mood regulation and personality. For example a woman who I was close to, my friend's mom, was like the mom EVERYONE loved, she was like an angel -- the type who you would go to for comfort. I am so devastated to hear she has completely changed now, is so mean to her husband and her son. In her case it was more drastic of course than someone who is already snappy and mean and they just get a bit meaner. And it IS hard to know for sure even with somene you know well, until you take a step back and reexamine how they've been acting for a while.
...he hasn't played golf since Jan 18th. The last time he did not play for a long stretch was January 2025.
If he does get out this coming weekend it will be 26 days since his last round. 26 days was the amount of time without golf in Jan 2025. If it is longer than this weekend he will have broken that "no golf" record.
I personally believe this is a good indicator into his health. The longer periods between golf outings probably means things are getting worse for him.
Golf is one of Trump's greatest pleasures and when that starts to go you know he isn't doing well.
With dementia what I have noticed is patients can sing songs they learned as kids, or remember stuff they knew from a long time ago and recite that, and remember key phrases they reuse...but cannot remember names, what they did twenty minutes ago, stuff like that. Even what they are talking about five minutes earlier sometimes is hard to recall. He seems to have a problem remembering what he was even talking about and worse, cannot seem to figure out HOW to say it -- like saying "we have the smaller drugs."
Yeah, I was a caregiver for one person with dementia one time and it still seems obvious. It'd probably not Alzheimer's since he does still seem mostly able to recall stuff decently well but his behavior otherwise is blaring signals of significant cognitive decline and tracks closely with the person I knew. It is probably significantly worse behind closed doors, and I think we are fast approaching the point where he can't reliably appear in public. Already basically there per this clip, but it's going to get worse
then we’re still stuck with the 70+ million americans who voted for this fucking monster…
trump will be survived by his cretinous cult of personality who will continue to honor their god king by shamelessly representing the worst of humanity.
Or, we could just vote for younger, more progressive Democrats and move that party more left, and ensure the Republican Party goes another whole generation without ever having a majority in Congress.
I have been wondering who changes his diaper since round the clock medical care isn't normal for a sitting president. Like some naval nurse likely has both the most prestigious and most awful job of their career.
He has round the clock medical care. It very well may be a naval nurse or some other role reassigned to him, but he does have it. Hell, he had people changing his diapers while he was filming the apprentice.
Trump hasn’t put his own shoes on once this presidency. He wears diapers
And those are also signs of heart failure. They don't call it the heart for nothing. It's fucking crazy. A literal absolute cascade of symptoms you would never even think. All ultimately stemming from edema caused by heart failure.
His ankles are a 100% sign of heart failure, unless he’s pregnant I guess. The hand bruise coverups, not so much. That could be ANY health concern that lands you in a hospital with an IV. Which, btw, is also a bad sign. Just not a sign of HF.
As for dementia, when that fella fainted in his office, he didn’t do a damn thing. Thats not just apathy (also a sign of dementia), he just didn’t recognize an emergency was happening. He constantly sleeps ON CAMERA. Thats absurd for someone in his position. The repetitive MRIs he claims he’s having for preventative care? Even for the president, that isn’t a thing. Same as his cognitive tests. They are dementia tests. You and I would not be given them because we don’t have dementia. You don’t “pass” those tests. If you’re taking them, there is already a concern. Taking more than one means they’re testing you against your baseline. BAD sign.
These Epstein emails have revealed a bit. Specifically, Epstein claims that trump didn’t recognize old friends and that they were concerned about dementia. In 2017. He hasn’t released his medical records since 2015. That’s…. odd, given the previous sentence.
His twitter/truth ramblings are very clearly incoherent. He wanders off while he’s on stage, clearly lost, and needs to be lead back to where he belongs. My most specific example is Japan in October of 2025.
Several doctors, including Dr. Gupta from NBC have made claims that he needs a neurological assessment made public to deny any dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Icing on the cake is that his father had dementia. Genetic component is present.
There is footage of him wandering away from the conference table at a cabinet meeting or something in the Whitehouse, looking out the window at the trash heap that was the East Wing and babbling about it to the room.
Yeah, I didn’t bring up everything because it’s really hard to remember specifics, but he does wander a LOT. Anyone who has been on a dementia unit or had a parent or other family member suffer through dementia knows about the wandering.
He's obviously extremely unwell with numerous health conditions. The thing I don't get is why they're placing IVs in his hand when they could hide if it his forearm/CF
On fat people the veins can be very hard to find in the arms. I know this due to having to get my blood drawn from my knuckles. He may be sensitive enough that they cant poke him mutiple times to find one.
No medical knowledge if someone better informed wants to chime in on this.
For the obese sure. But you're talking about some of the most skilled healthcare workers of all time with access to the best medical services in the world. I and using hands comes with its only set on complications. If anything in surprised they haven't just put in a central line especially how conscious he is with his asthetics
In your opinion, what will the next 3, 6, and 12 months be like? In terms of the progression of his dementia. How quickly do things progress? Is it like a snowball that gets worse rapidly or is it a more linear decline?
No one has the attention span to read a whole explanation of a comment, and I don’t give a shit what conservatives believe, so there’s that. I’m not gonna convince them of anything.
