KEY POINTS
- Donald Trump is at a higher risk for Alzheimer's or dementia because of his age
- Donald Trump's father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's
- Donald Trump could already be showing signs of dementia
Donald Trump has been showing signs that his memory is deteriorating. Other than forgetting certain dates, he has also struggled with remembering his friends.
According to The New York Times, the POTUS' dad, Fred Trump, suffered from Alzheimer's disease for years before he passed away in 1999. Even though he was diagnosed with this deadly form of dementia, Fred still managed to keep his position as chairman of the board of Trump Management.
Political Flare claimed that Melania Trump's husband could follow in his dad's footsteps with the heartbreaking diagnosis due to two reasons. First, a history of dementia within his family makes him more susceptible to the illness.
Another risk factor for dementia is age. The POTUS will be turning 74 years old this year, and he is also the oldest president to have ever been elected to a first term. According to the journal Neuroepidemiology, one in seven Americans over age 70 has dementia.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dementia can be divided into three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and advanced.
In the preclinical stage, symptoms are not yet obvious. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) includes symptoms of memory or other thinking problems that are greater than normal for a person's age and education.
In advanced dementia, the symptoms include memory loss, word-finding difficulty, and other diminished brain functions that prevent the person from living independently.
Political Flare journalist Andrea Jefferson claimed that the POTUS can be diagnosed with MCI.
"Trump can be diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment because he is constantly in the public eye such that anyone who knows what to look for can see the signs and symptoms of Trump's disease," she said.
"He has many symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment, including poor memory, word-finding difficulty, slurred speech, linguistic decline, irritability, depression, mental confusion, lack of restraint, inexplicable lying, poor occupational performance, impaired judgment, and paranoia," she added.

I have published this due to claims that my last article was not current, so here is a current one. The reason I published a noncurrent article was to show that I was not picking one during an election year. That seems to have been missed by many here.
There is nothing wrong with a non current article if it is relevant to what is being discussed.
I didn't think so either, especially since my point was explained in the opening comment.
The article and the science behind it are legit.... and anybody that want's to question it, can't or wont root their thoughts in science.
A house of trump cards is still just a house of cards!
As well as a house of cads...
If Donald is falling on his face politically, I would be happiest if he would go ahead and get it done! Nobody asked him to be a paranoid, bully, president who would come in and stick his finger on every "third rail" of politics. He has volunteered himself to be a little "no love" president. If he is "punch-drunk" politically—fall already. Face meet canvass!
Ah.... but there is the martyr component to this CB. ATN... (All Trump Network) is counting on all that you said and more.
So our solution should be to pick an even older guy who can't tell his wife from his sister? Can't quote the most well known passage from the Declaration of Independence? Can't remember if he's in Vermont or New Hampshire? Thinks Winston Churchill was President of the United States? Thinks the big primary is held on Super Thursday ? Chooses Truth over Facts? Can't decide if he wants to eliminate or raise the capital gains tax? Thinks Chris Wallace is named Chuck? Thinks people shouldn't go to jail for drug offenses but should go to prison instead? The first thing he wants to do as president is defeat Donald Trump (wait, whut?). He thinks he can put 720 million women back in the work force.
You can go on and on. He is koo koo crackers banana split old man style crazy. Nice guy maybe (big maybe - he does like to threaten people who disagree with him ), but his time was probably ten years ago. Not now.
See @4 and @4.1.
