Sure am glad he doesn't have it according to him.

Called Greenland "iceland" several times in Davos.

Can't walk a straight line.

Swollen cankles.

Ominous bruising on both hands.

That vacant stare of someone that doesn't know where he is.

Falling asleep often in meeting.

Having signs placed all around the white house telling him where he is.

He is not well.

Is Jake Tapper concerned yet?

Hilarious in a way, but mostly terrible.

Yeah...that word's too hard and it sounds foreign.

Can't we just call it what it is, 'old-timers' disease?

Trump is, after all, one'a them old-timers...

"Senility" also works. As does "brain syphilis."

I long for the days when obituaries for people over about 75 just said, "Natural causes."

The daughter-boning, child-raping sack of dementia is now wearing a single glove to cover his rotting hand.

Trump is a pos.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Police arrested a man who sprayed Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar with a foul-smelling liquid in Minneapolis on Tuesday as she condemned the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Minnesota.
Omar, the frequent target of political insults from President Donald Trump, was uninjured. A security guard immediately grabbed the man and took him to the ground, according to a Reuters witness and video of the town hall event.

Police said they arrested the man for third-degree assault.

Trump said on Tuesday night that he had not seen the video and hoped he did not "have to bother."
"No. I don't think about her. I think she's a fraud. I really don't think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her," Trump told ABC News.

At Trump's age he has what is politely known as a "Senior Moment" when commonly known names or information momentarily (sometimes for days) escape him. It is an early sigh of Alzheimer's that tends to get worse rather quickly and more often.

Trump's doctors would be remiss if they weren't clocking this decline in Trump's cognitively closely.

Of course, Trump would adamantly deny such a thing even if and when the truth hits him smack in the face.

Intervention is sometimes required, depending on the circumstances. The Senate probably hasn't reached the 25th Amendment stage yet . . . but considering the rapid progressive nature of the disease, it won't be long.

My guess is that his staff will keep the disease hidden from the public for as long as possible.

You mean his "handlers".

It seems to be headed in that direction. Right now, they're just working hard trying to excuse, cover up and bury his frequent flubs.

Eventually they'll decide that the less the public sees of Trump the better.

They'll have their work cut out for them as Trump continues on his whirlwind campaign tour of reading prepared speeches from a teleprompter. When he gets stumped, he usually reverts to his memorized blah-blah-blah about the 2020 election.

His staff/handlers have their work cut out for themself . . . meanwhile wishing they had a big hook like the one on the old Gong Show.
