[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL had mini strokes and vascular dementia.  He was a great guy and very smart but as the disease ate away at his brain he had moments of confusion, his vocabulary decreased, and he had trouble following multi step thought processes or thinking through normal cause and effect.   (As one early example, I remember him getting very upset about something Congress was considering and maybe going to pass — I pointed out the president would surely veto it, and that had not occurred to him.  He was a major political junkie so the fact that he had not gamed that out in his head was really upsetting.)

To me, it seems very obvious that Trump has vascular dementia.  Particularly considering his diet.  I assume he is on blood thinners (which may also explain why he bled so much from a small wound to his ear).  I would think he has also had some kind of procedure to remove plaque from his arteries like angioplasty.  If he was more transparent about his medical situation, we might know that.  But it seems pretty obvious to me, and it also explains the shuffling gait.   Vascular dementia is really under-recognized and the progression is different than Alzheimer’s.[/quote]

and being overweight (and probably zero exercise) doesn’t help.[/quote]
