He certainly shows signs of it, and his history would indicate the strong possibility.
I think a lot more time should be spent discussing this in the press.
The questions need to be asked and asked again.

(53,214 posts)I've noticed that the meaner and dumber he gets, his skin gets a darker shade of orange. Kind of like Pinocchio's nose growing the more he lies - Trump gets more orange, not to mention uglier too.

(1,096 posts)and the kind of physical health that comes with an exclusive diet of McDonalds and soda, bolstered with the Adderall and whatever other uppers he's on, exacerbated by his lifelong belief that exercise is bad for you. He may also have Long Covid.
The syphilis wouldn't surprise me, but that would just be the cherry on the sundae.

(35,152 posts)maybe he took Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, etc.
Anyhow, Covid could have affected his brain.

And it is irrelevant to the fact that he has been a psychopath from a very young age. Rfk jr. looks like he could have it though as does orange psycho 😹. But again rfk jr was already a psychopath for many years.

(34,915 posts)I have been saying that for years, although I was mostly joking. The problem is that he also spent a lifetime of eating garbage, not exercising, and (allegedly) abusing substances. That all could easily lead to one or a series of strokes and/or dementia, which tend to have the same symptoms. He also has a family history of Alzheimer's disease. That's not to say that can't have all of those issues at once...

Then again, Bidens White House physician didnt diagnose Bidens prostate cancer.

(7,926 posts)this sort of discussion about 'what is wrong with Trump' is just mind games to avoid the real question, which essentially is . . . what to do about this insane and destructive person?
Me?
I'm just waiting for the QAnon crowd, the cabal of Dem cannibals operating from that pizza shop basement, the Deep State, the Obama/Biden operatives controlling everything from that bunker deep under the White House, to start implementing their foolproof and devious counterattack.
Anyone have any news from any of those?

(114,616 posts)If he'd missed the chancre because it wasn't in a place he paid attention to, he'd definitely have noticed the disfiguring full body rash.
In addition, NY is a state that insisted on the Wasserman test for a marriage license, an excellent precaution for any major port of entry.
If his erratic mental state were linked to tertiary syphilis, we'd likely see large full thickness skin lesions beginning to invade the underlying bone. So nuh-uh.
What we're looking at is the worst of the worst personality disorders most likely with early dementia on top of it.

(114,616 posts)because I'm sick to death of seeing this question posed over and over again.
Yes, a lot of people are angry enough to want to see King Bumhole in the process of losing his marbles due to an untreated but very treatable, loathsome sexually trans,itted disease, but it's kist not so and it's high time people start looking stuff up for themselves.
He's always been a wrecking ball of a human being and he's getting to the part of dementia where he is incapable of controlling his outbursts. It is not going to get better. His staff can't control this. This should be bad enough for anyone without throwing a nasty disease that goes away with penicillin into the mix.

(100,133 posts)Why? Is it because otherwise intelligent people think they can get a snicker out of a dirty joke? But why the persistence at a place like DU?
His behavior and psychology have been thoroughly explored and described by experts in the field, including his niece (a clinical psychologist) who had the misfortune of growing up around him. His fathers history of Alzheimers is well-known. People who worked for him in decades past have described his aberrant attitudes and behavior going back to the beginning. The Dark Trifecta.
He is nasty as hell. Abusive. Sociopathic. Drug addicted. Sadistic. Violent.
Why attribute all this to an untreated case of a curable disease?
Just asking.
