General Discussion

I think Trump is showing signs of vascular dementia which is directly tied to his cardiovascular disease and unfortunately not a progressive disease the way Alzheimer's is. But fear not! There is still plenty of time and opportunity for him to develop Alzheimer's dementia on top of his vascular dementia. I know some have claimed evidence of frontal temporal dementia but I’m feeling like he’s been deficient in that department since he was at least 5 years old throwing rocks at a baby - so lack of empathy is not a personality change for this guy and in any case, FTD is not usually as relentlessly progressive and lethal as ALZ from what I have seen.

Now for the more cheerful side - I think he does have pretty significant heart failure, AND, I think he’s missed some critical treatment windows. He might have been eligible for a transplant before the election but he it would have meant losing, and he needed to not be in jail. Obviously he won’t be doing it now, and by the time he leaves that office, I don’t think anyone will be willing to put him on the table for an operation like that.

See? There IS hope.
