It sounds like Trump watches tv a lot, and that contributed to my dad’s decline. (Though my dad watched westerns and such, not Fox. 😉) Fox’s drilling down on the same thing over and over, is not expanding one’s mind.
My father reads voraciously, tries learning languages of countries before visiting them (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German), took classes well into his 80s and played tennis and walked every day well into his 80s. He is now in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, so I am. To sure about your thesis.
That said, Trump is definitely demented
DP. Despite your father's experience, multiple studies have shown that "individuals who were more cognitively and physically active were able to delay their clinical Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and cognitive decline." Not prevent necessarily, but delay.

Noticeable cognitive decline is inevitable for 99.9% of human beings by the age of 80 and for many, cognitive decline is apparent before the age of 80. This is why it is absolutely bat poop crazy for the most powerful country on the planet to have elected people as old as Trump and Biden to four year terms in consecutive elections. Americans should be ashamed of themselves.
Please post research that shows this. I've known many people who are extremely sharp in their late 80s and early 90s. My mother was working until she was 96, and she was a psychotherapist. She was brilliant, and her mind never wavered, but her body gave out on her.

Most people can’t.
That one didn’t even try to look realistic. Either that or whoever did it was really bad

This is one of the problems with our country. People take a single personal story (" my mother was sharp until she died") and try to argue that this shows everybody is like their mother. When will people realize that a single instance of something in means absolutely nothing? Maybe try thinking about the vast number of over 80 year olds you know. Surely you know at least 100? Would you say most of them could do math in their head as fast as they could when they were in their 20s? If not, yes, there is some "cognitive decline" (and please don't argue that doing math is not cognitive because the OP said "some cognitive decline" not "decline is some specific area you cherrry pick".

No his brain is like “oh a Black person, I should talk about a Black people.”* He can’t compute that a Black person might be asking him about Harvard.

Wow this really does seem like he was getting them confused, even while he was talking with the way he was going back and forth.
It just really feels like everyone’s crazy uncle somehow became president.

Those who have difficulty hearing have much higher rates of dementia. They go together hand-in-glove.
Yes, this is very true. I was told this by an audiologist when I took my father to get hearing aids. Importantly, Trump is very vain and despises signs of weakness (one reason he tore off his mask when he returned from Walter Reed for Covid treatment). He will absolutely refuse to wear hearing aids if he needs them, which will lead to more cognitive decline.

You could have nominated Haley, GOP. But your racism and authoritarianism is exposed on full display. May the party die an embarrassing death it deserves.

There is something about what NYC produces. Look at Guiliani…totally nuts.
My dad and uncle (also from nyc) display similar traits. That’s not a good thing!
NYC is the armpit of the universe.
