Question? Do dementia patients lose their

ability to lie.

Wouldn't that be something?

1. Why does the movie Liar Liar come to mind

2. They go into a quantum realm of fake falsehood untruths

like Krasnov

3. Reporter: "Mr. President, why did you take

Epstein case files to Mar A Lago in your first term?"

TSF: "Because my name was in every report..."

4. No. They lose their ability to keep their lies straight and stumble more in public.

tRump couldn't remember today that Jay Powell was appointed to chair the Federal Reserve and that none other than the Mango Mussolini nominated him, about 9 years ago.

5. Is it "a lie" if you believe it's true?

Trump is delusional.

6. My uncle had dementia that started in his

late 70's. He talked about these beings that he could see. And he got mad at them and went after them with a baseball bat.

But he wasn't lying. Those beings were real to him.
But I don't ever remember him lying about anything. If anything, he gave out a lot more information than I wanted to hear.

9. No

My mother had Alzheimers.
What happens is that they are not in touch with reality.
She was the daughter of Russian immigrants.
She was living in a memory care unity where most of the other patients were Italian
One day when I came to visit, she greeted me as her "paisan ."
The term she always used before wan "lantzman."
I laughed and asked her what the old country was and she replied "Italy of course?"

Another time she asked me if I ever met myself (real name.)
I said "No, tell me about her."

10. I believe Trump has heart failure, not dementia

Not trying to diagnose here, but heart failure can cause mental-health symptoms similar to dementia. I've been a caregiver for several patients in final stages of heart failure, and it can really take a toll, when the brain doesn't get enough blood.

His swollen ankles and rapid mental decline could be consistent with end-stage heart failure.

I have to stress that I'm an experienced caregiver, not a doctor, but I've seen enough heart failure patients in hospice to think that Trump might not be long for this world.

Sadly, he'll have the best health care, while stealing it from other Americans.

12. I don't think lying is an actual issue...

rather than the total inability to distinguish
fact from fiction...

and the ability to make decisions not divorced
from reality.
