I don't think either Trump or Biden have a specific dementia diagnosis (fronto-temporal, Alzheimer's, etc).
If you take away Trump's bronzer and hair dye, you have a very pale, white-haired, person that is very comparable to Biden. They both have a decrease in their walking abilities - I've seen them shuffle in the same way, which is typical of elderly people in decline.
Not only do both have a marked age-related physical decline, it is accompanied by certain cognitive symptoms, specifically a decrease in their previously richer vocabulary, a disinclination to be precise when they talk - which is a sign of memory loss.
Separately from this decline, I see that both continue to have the same character they always had, with some age-related loss of filter. Biden is a generally normal, decent human being. The everyman. Not spectacular in any way, but by dint of a lifetime of political effort, he knows the ins and outs of governance. There were plenty like him on either side of the aisle (now one party has thrown out all their normal people). Trump continues his progression as the caricature of a very punitive man who only gets up in the morning to exact retribution on perceived enemies. His thoughts and feelings are simplistic in the extreme, but they really always were (just behind a very thin veneer of sophistication in his NY realtor days). The reason he's successful is that he's always had enormous willpower and drive behind those simple feelings. Either he wins or he loses. Winning means striking down your enemies. Losing means letting them have normal lives. Zero-sum. Us vs Them. No sense of proportional response: enemies needs to be crushed to powder, and loyal subjects need constant testing.

Whatever he has I hope it kills him soon.

Here he can't remember the names of NATO countries @ 1:05. He forgets, and plays it off with a laugh.
I hope you start a whole thread.
He also did not seem to understand GPS versus TPS status of Ukrainians.
Np here. In the last of his 1-2am rants last night, he seems to have referred to the EU as a country…?
I forgot the link

👆💯. Trump doesn’t want to govern. He wants to golf, eat, and be surrounded by adulation. He wants to be a popular retiree with power.
