Two psychologists are warning that President Donald Trump’s frequent confusion and mounting physical issues may be pointing to something more troubling than just aging. On their podcast Shrinking Trump, psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal argued that the 79-year-old president is showing both physical and linguistic symptoms of what they call “early dementia.”
EARLY? He’s 79 years old.
Early dementia refers to the progression of the disease, he’s unlikely to die from it during this term.
As opposed to early onset dementia which is when a younger person than usual is diagnosed.
Early as in the stage/symptoms, not “early on-set”.
OK but he’s been showing symptoms for years.
Listen to interviews of him in the 80s, 2000s, and 2016. His vocabulary and coherence had dropped significantly before his first term. It hasn’t gotten better.
Yeah, he’s already seven years past the average lifespan here in the US.
