Does Trump have early signs of dimentia?

| He could be a character on SNL Weekend Update. They have "Drunk Uncle" and now they could have "No Filter Grandpa". I know he has always had a reputation of being a jerk, but he just reminds me of how my grandma on one side and grandpa on the other side got as dementia progressed. They became easily agitated and said the most ridiculous things. There was no filter and they couldn't distinguish between important things and inane things when it came to criticizing. Sometimes they seemed lucid and rational (think Trump defending planned parenthood) and other times it was clear they were experiencing cognitive decline. They also repeated themselves constantly and forgot things they had recently said just like the Trumpster. |

It's "dementia."
And, no. He has Borderline Personality Disorder. It's pretty obvious. |

| I don't know. Maybe. To me, the clearly case of this is Bill Clinton. |

| It's called running for President. Everyone in the race has it...just look closely. |

Agree. But Trump's is clearly more advanced than anyone else's. |

OP here. Bill Clinton definitely shows signs. |

If this is true, is it an election issue for Hilary? |

OP again. I don't think so. She is the candidate, not him. Might make her all the more interested in issues related to aging. |

LOL, nicely done. |

Hm. Hard to gin up this wacky theory in the face of her performance in the Benghazi inquisition. |

| The NYT has a theory that a lot of Trump's behaviors -- easy to anger, impatience, bad memory, difficulty distinguishing between big and little issues, mood swings, etc -- may be due to severe sleep deprivation. Trump had often said that he only sleeps 1-3 hours per night. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/26/opinion/a-unified-theory-of-trump.html |

All presidents suffer from some sleep deprivation. Comes with the job. If Trump is like this now with concerning mood swings, etc, how in the world will he be able to deal with the constant sleep interruptions that come with being POTUS and handling his personal business? |

What "wacky theory"? It'd written by Huma. |

Based on what we can tell from that graphic, the "wacky theory" is that when Hillary has multiple telephone calls scheduled by someone else with people with whom she rarely talks, she sometimes gets confused. That doesn't seem like a very unusual problem. |
