    He is Biden’s age, a year or two makes little difference. Alzheimer’s runs in Trump’s family too.

    Biden presented with the standard waxing and waning of dementia. He probably was aok some days. That’s how it works. Dementia onset is more like a picture that gets hit by the sun part of the day, when it’s sunny, not a total erasure. A gentle fading.

    Alzheimer’s, however, presents with anger, erratic behavior, and paranoia on the trajectory of a downward spiral. Aggression is a hallmark.

      I mean he doesn’t even need to have Alzheimer’s. He’s pushing 80 and is completely intellectually incurious, he abhors reading and only watches Fox all day long. That alone could have rotted his brain at this point.

        Yeah, but I wish this admin could be trusted to get him looked at, honestly, in person, by a professional.

        But we can’t. We can only look on in horror as he presents like someone who could have Alzheimer’s.

      Yeah, but im not going to diagnose Trump with alzheimers when im a.) not a doctor, nor anywhere near him to actually see what his symptoms are. If it quacks like a duck, imma have my suspicions. But, Im not gonna throw around a diagnosis im not qualified to give.
