Neurodegeneration: He'll Be "Gone" In 3 - 5 Months

[QED]

"A certified medical professional with 14 years of experience treating dementia patients may have just cracked the whole f***ing code — complete with a specific drug, specific side effects, and specific behavioral symptoms that perfectly match what we’re all watching happen to Donald J. Trump in real time.

snip

Trump’s mysteriously bruised hand — the one photographers have caught, caked with orange makeup and concealer — is exactly what patients look like after repeated IV infusions of Kisunla (donanemab), a monoclonal antibody drug for early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.

snip

Kisunla cannot make Trump sharper. It can only slow his decline while his brain continues shrinking, misfiring, and losing executive function.

This is exactly why:

his speeches make no sense,
his temper is erupting hourly,
his inhibitions are gone,
he confabulates constantly,
and he keeps falling asleep in public.

The drug isn’t failing.
His brain is."

The clinician ends with this:

“I think he’s got 3–5 months left in the land of the living when you compound all of these symptoms along with possible heart failure and kidney disease.”

1. From his lips...

[at140]

21. I won't hold my breath

Disappointed too many times.

[ToxMarz]

44. Maybe someone could mention to Trump that Putin can hold his breath for 20 minutes

See what happens.

[niyad]

66. ohhhhh, I like that!!!

[Wednesdays]

77. After about 5 minutes, TSF will faint

And nothing bad happens to him.

[RandomNumbers]

80. He could hit his head in the fall

Fainting is not always a non-event.

Hope remains ...

[Iggo]

139. "...and Putin only needed five tries before he made it!"

See, there’s always a way.

[SergeStorms]

95. Remember "Fitzmas?"

I remember too many disappointments myself, starting with "hanging chads" in Florida.

Thing is, after the "living-dead Don" we get to deal with Peter Thiel's Frankenstein monster. I'm not looking forward to that either.

[Linda ladeewolf]

125. Vance doesn't have the ability to instill loyalty in magas.

I like to think that once trump drops, the movement will for the most part, dissolve!

[barbtries]

105. every day

for over 10 fucking years.

he just continually keeps breathing. aargh

[Woodwizard]

108. Right.

He was an erratic loon the first term. Who knows what he is really being treated for.
Let's focus on the Epstein prize.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. That's bold

I think I posted 3-5 months in August, but my searches on past posts are a fail

[John1956PA]

3. Trump disappeared over Labor Day weekend. The September 3 airstrike punctuated his big comeback.

Trump looked reasonably sharp at the September 3 press conference when he announced the future location of the Space Force operations center in Huntsville, Alabama. At the end of the press conference, he dramatically announced breaking news that a that drug-ferrying boat had been blown up.

I think the decision to blow up a boat (almost ANY boat) was pre-planned in order to show Trump's supposed competency.

[Aristus]

4. We're not that lucky.

They’ll prop up his dead carcass in front of the camera, and carry on like nothing happened.

[Irish_Dem]

56. Yep and tell us we are lying when we point out the f wad is dead.

Levitt will pontificate about how great Trump looks and how stupid we are for thinking otherwise.

[popsdenver]

122. Get ready for an instantaneous

MARTYR like never before in U.S. History

[Irish_Dem]

133. The evil Trump name will be slapped every building, airport, theater, etc.

McDonald's will be McTrump, etc.
Dairy Queen will be Dairy King Trump.

[popsdenver]

144. He already has huge picture tarps

on some government buildings.........

[Irish_Dem]

147. Exactly. Totally disgusting.

[Irish_Dem]

148. Exactly. Totally disgusting.

[calimary]

145. Yeah, but we can fix that, sooner AND/OR later.

Some changes will take time. But once he leaves the center-stage, I suspect he may go into hiding for whatever’s left of his time on Planet Earth.

I suspect that the public will start noticing the absence.
“Hey what’s up with Trump?
“How come we don’t hear from him anymore?”
“Is Donald still around? He’s usually all over the news…”
… and so forth.

[Bev54]

102. If I remember correctly, Putin was also dying, cancer I think

and yet here he is still going strong. I agree, we don't seem to be that lucky, the worst of the world seem to need help to leave us.

[Linda ladeewolf]

126. Putin probably got an organ transplant. Some of those dead soldiers probably had just

What he needed. Just speculation of course.

[onenote]

151. Two things I never treat seriously on DU:

Predictions about the stock market.
Predictions about someone's health.

The track record of accuracy of such predictions approaches zero.

[popsdenver]

121. Will make no difference

The Republicans will install some one, just as bad, most likely someone worse, who isn't constantly going off the rails, but operating in the shadows, behind smoke and mirrors.......

[Johnny2X2X]

5. We've been hearing this for years.

He’s not going anywhere.

[tinrobot]

6. Some of that article is good, some of it is sensationalistic.

The author claims that Trump's sexual comments about his daughter are because of his dementia. But he was saying stuff like that decades ago.

Same with a lot of the other claims. He has pathologically lied his entire life, you can't blame his recent lies simply to dementia.

Sure, the author might be on to something about the Kinsunla injections. Others have speculated the same and there's good reason to think they might be right. The MRIs as part of the treatment are a new angle I hadn't seen.

But the over the top sensationalism just detracts from these points.

[PatSeg]

9. That is true

He even made sexual references about his daughter when she was still a baby and as you say, he's been a compulsive liar his entire life.

As for the rest, it does make sense, but every person is different, so I wouldn't predict how long he has to live.

[ColoringFool]

46. Not That It's "Better," Because NO, But The Baby Was Tiffany.....

Trump wondered aloud if his second daughter would eventually have her mother's bust size.

[PatSeg]

72. Oh yes, you're right

What kind of father talks about his daughter that way? And why did mainstream journalists keep interviewing that demented creep?

[barbtries]

107. there's an interview out there

with ivanka where they're both asked what do you two have in common, krasnov said sex his daughter said golf.

i personally believe he abused her. all the way.

[PatSeg]

117. And Ivanka just laughs

I suppose that behavior from him became normal to her. Yet journalists just kept coming back for more. Even back then, there was no line he couldn't cross. Guess ratings were more important than integrity and principles.

[maddiemom]

131. "When you're the President...

it's not illegal." (You're allowed to talk that way, even about your own daughter.)

[PatSeg]

134. That was probably the most shocking thing

I ever heard Nixon say.

As for Trump, however, he talked like that way before he became president. He's always been a super sicko. I wish they would release the tapes from The Apprentice set.

[mdbl]

137. I would love it if he got Tourrette Syndrome that forced him to randomly spew truth about all the lies he tells.

[PatSeg]

149. Brings to mind that Jim Carrey movie "Liar Liar"

The one where he could not tell a lie for 24 hours. I'd love to see such a spell put on Trump.

[twodogsbarking]

7. My birthday is pi day. I can fit it in.

[valleyrogue]

8. I wouldn't be making bets on it.

Besides, I don't want Peter Thiel's puppet to be president.

[InstantGratification]

20. I think that is going to happen anyway

I just hope it happens before we get to the halfway point of Rump's term. That way the shortened term will still count as a full term for VD Chance.

[niyad]

22. He already is. krasnov is too f'n lazy, and too f'n stupid, to work,

to write the executive orders, etc. He is the bright, shiny distraction.

[JI7]

61. Vance is unpopular and unlikable. He won't be able to distract like Trump

[SergeStorms]

99. Billionaires can buy a lot of charisma......

Trump's billionaire backers made him palatable enough (as truly disgusting as he is) to get elected, twice. Imagine what they can do for someone who isn't quite as loathsome as King-Kon?

[JI7]

101. Trump's own personality and bigotry appealed to the masses

The billionaires will never make Vance likable. They would have just made him President if they had that power.

[Bayard]

10. Make it so

I just hope its very painful.

[Roy Rolling]

11. Hmm

Alzheimer’s patients can live many years after diagnosis.

My father was affected for six years from diagnosis to passing.

But the effects being noticed now are mild compared to what will happen in six months. He can’t hide it then.

[murielm99]

79. Exactly.

My dad lived for six years as well. He took that medication to slow the progression of the disease. I was impressed when he called me to tell me Tim Russert had died. I hadn't heard, and was glad he remembered that I kept up with politics. He called another time to ask if I still played my cello. After six years he faded slowly. He slept more and more, and one day, he was just gone.

[JoseBalow]

12. We'll never be rid of this pestilence

[biophile]

13. Or the type of people who worship him

He might be gone, but his fan club will remain and they are the scourge on our country.

[kellytore]

14. About 3 weeks ago I had a dream and someone in the dream

told me Trump had died. I kept telling them that he died before Thanksgiving, and they kept telling me no we are now in June. I kept arguing in the dream that it was November but the person kept telling me he died in June. Very strange dream but it seemed so real that I woke up thinking he was dead. Unfortunately he was still alive but I am keeping my hopes up that the June dream will come true.

[Ars Longa]

15. His upcoming rallies should be interesting!

Seeing him doing actual traveling.
Having to stand and speak coherently might be
a struggle.

[niyad]

24. Ummm, when has he spoken coherently?

[Aristus]

128. Exactly!

n/t

[DallasNE]

33. I Don't Think He Has The Stamina To Pull This Off

Will he only go to Red states in the South? What about his golf? And his health care debacle, plus Epstein?

People with Alzheimer's usually live for more than 3-5 months, too, so I will skip the sensational stuff.

[KS Toronado]

67. If he goes golfing and tees off with a putter, we'll know he's in the Twilight Zone

....

[CountAllVotes]

127. the bruise that won't go away

]

[barbtries]

106. i don't think he's up to it.

recall in the first term he never paused on the rallies. that's his life blood, his energy source. but he is enervated and physically unwell even as he is dealing with galloping dementia.

Of course I thought that man will never be president once upon a time.

[Joinfortmill]

16. We can hope.

[SaydiTom]

17. I'm not a believer, and yet I will pray

[niyad]

23. Welcome to our DU family.

[SaydiTom]

55. thank you!

I've actually been here since the early 2000s. But a certain group of people didn't like what I had to say on a certain subject to they harassed me until they got my other account suspended.

[Seinan Sensei]

143. Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers.

[Laffy Kat]

146. I'm with ya.

I'm a godless heathen, but if I thought it would help, I'd fall on my knees in a heartbeat.

Welcome.

[Initech]

18. This is why MAGA is going into overdrive trying to rehab JD Vance's image.

They know how grossly unpopular he is and that if Trump dies at any point in the next two years, MAGA is finished. Playtime is finally over. That's why they're doing everything they can to keep their undeserved power.Steve Bannon knows something we don't. There's something about the events of the last 5 months that isn't adding up.

[chouchou]

19. Is there something we could do to help?

(I mean, speed it up?)

[lastlib]

35. well.....yes......but it's not legal.........

And I'm absolutely NOT suggesting that anybody do a Charlie number on the guy.

[chouchou]

71. Yes sir....my orders are..ah..I mean, I understand..wink..wink...

(The above is sarcastic and what we hippies call a joke...or is it a toke?)

[lastlib]

74. Maybe it's a joke of a toke?

'em if ya got 'em.

[chouchou]

110. Our plan is working perfectly.

[Takket]

25. what seems weird about the "infusions"

there are tons of places to give someone an infusion. Most of them covered by clothing. So why would they infuse his hand knowing everyone was going to see the bruises?

[niyad]

29. Makes one inclined to wonder what they are hiding, if they let us see this much.

[Chemical Bill]

47. Veins there are close to the surface.

Easy to get to.

[Metaphorical]

52. When you catheterise someone repeatedly

The veins take a while to recover, which is why people on extended stays at hospitals (especially when older) usually keep the catheter in place as long as possible. If he is getting as many injections and blood draws as I suspect, his veins are probably shot.

I also have to wonder if his extremities (fingers/toes) are bruised or purple. If he's on Lasix for congestive heart failure (which I suspect he is), the evidence will be in his feet, especially purple toes, swollen feet, psoriasis of the skin.

[ProfessorGAC]

114. When I Was Getting Solumedrol Infusions...

...in the early days of my MS diagnosis, they put in on the back of my hand.
They just wrapped it after each day's infusion with that stretchy, self-sticking tape.
Of course, that was just a six day thing.
If it was a longer regime, they may have put it somewhere else.

[Gore1FL]

26. If true, I have 3-5 months to figure out how to fly a flag at double staff.

Perhaps, instead, I can fly multiple flags covering the entire height of the flagpole; that way, on average, they are at half-mast!

[mjvpi]

96. Perfect!

[Emile]

27. The way he keeps dozing off, I think he has

early alzheimers.

[slightlv]

49. Early? I think hes been into dementia for at least a decade now.

I believe he was in the early stages during his first term, if not earlier. He is at least as far gone as my mom was when she died. She lasted all of about 6 years after we realized what was wrong.

[niyad]

28. So did I miss this medical professional's name in that article? Exactly what

kind of medical professional?

3-5 days would be so much more helpful.

[reACTIONary]

36. No kidding....

.... I did some internet sleuthing and there isn't anything more than anonymous assertions.

[niyad]

41. Thank you.

[Celerity]

53. Seems to be Adam James:

https://share.google/kHwiG1tk6CaWczTgZ

Am I wrong?

[niyad]

65. Thank you. I have no idea, not being on facebook. I was able to see that

he studied at Medical College of Georgia (impressive history !), and saw the word neurodegeneration before fb blocked me.

[Deminpenn]

86. He's a physical therapist

with 14 yrs experience working with dementia patients. Becoming a PT is rigorous and I'm sure they learn a lot on the job interacting with PCPs, specialists and families. I know I learned a lot just from being a caregiver for my parents.

[niyad]

92. I understand the training and experience involved. My point was, I should not

have to go through the videos (which still did not indicate his name) to find out anything about him, regardless of whose substack piece it was.

[Deminpenn]

120. I wondered where the transcript

quotes originated. I clicked on the video of the bald guy and that was the source. He opened the video by introducing himself but not giving his name.

[bluestarone]

104. Hell, i'd settle for 3 to 5 minutes. BUT

I'll take 3 to 5 months too.

[Fiendish Thingy]

30. Oh brother, Everybody's an expert

If he dies, I’ll join the celebration, but I’m not expecting any particular outcome or timeline based on a blogger’s predictions.

[yourout]

31. I doubt we'll be that lucky.

[NoMoreRepugs]

32. Even IF it's utter bullshit what an incredibly uplifting story before turning in for the night!

[niyad]

42. An excellent point!

[marble falls]

34. A grain of salt. This guy has never seen TACO and has no access to TACO's medical records.

[thesquanderer]

37. speeches make no sense, inhibitions gone, confabulates constantly...

...just sounds like the same old trump to me. He was this way 10 years ago.

[niyad]

43. Sadly true.

[eppur_se_muova]

119. Exactly! The dozing off is getting worse, but that could be because now that he's a lame duck he's lost interest....

... particularly in listening to other people, which he was never much good at anyway. There's certainly plenty of evidence for that.

[Tree Lady]

154. My husband 76 sleeps for hours every afternoon

I think it's because he has a hard time sleeping at night, we always hear T is up in middle of night.

I think they are hiding a bunch of physical problems with him but unfortunately he doesn't look to me like he will die soon.

[Greg_In_SF]

38. People have been

saying this for TEN years.

[onenote]

152. +1

[mackdaddy]

39. Apparently this type of treatment can also cause brain bleeds,

Which is also a type of stroke.

This would explain the drooping right side of his mouth, and the need for 'advanced imaging'.

[luv2fly]

40. Armchair diagnostics 🙄

This is more appropriate for the National Enquirer.

[LilElf70]

45. This is the best explantion

I've seen so far, based on what the real facts that have been presented to date. It appears "No lies this time."

[Mz Pip]

48. What I find interesting

These speculations are becoming an almost daily occurrence. Something is obviously wrong with someone who rage tweets for hours in the middle of the night.

We shall see. Trump’s grand tour to publicize his big beautiful successes should be interesting. He and his enablers can’t possibly keep it together for the entire grand tour.

[GoCubsGo]

59. Yeah, we've been seeing predictions of his demise for many months.

He was rage-tweeting at midnight throughout his first term, as well, so it's not like any of this is new. He's obviously not well, but it's to the point where I can't put a lot of stock in all of these predictions of his demise without a mountain of salt. He's like Emperor Palpatine rotting in his clone body, at this point. Or, a defenestrated cockroach, whose body lives on long after the head is gone.

[Deminpenn]

87. Yes, the rallies should be interesting

I'll bet there are a lot of people who haven't seen the unvarnished Trump since last Nov.

If you merely look at video of Trump from March, the comparison to today is striking. Imho, he's got CHF. Lack of blood to the brain would certainly account for the listlessness and instant naps. It would also account for the swelling in his legs and perhaps puffiness around his eyes.

[Tree Lady]

155. I think the rage tweets are about his

Polling going down and losing his popularity. He always has to be right, the one who is making things better in his mind. So to me it's all about his narcissism.

I have seen narcissistic rages and they aren't pretty. Any little thing can set them off but being told they are wrong, or criticized is the thing that usually sets them off.

[Grins]

50. I have sharpened the point on my wooden stake.

Just to be sure.

[Glass City]

51. If this comes to pass...

Donald is a cartoon character. He has already cemented his place in American History, unfortunately. Hopefully his stint as POTUS will serve as a cautionary tale for the example of leadership we are passing along to our children and grandchildren.

[Hassler]

54. Hope springs eternal

[Orrex]

57. Any chance that he'll suffer constant horrific agony between now and then?

[malaise]

58. Merry Christmas to me

Make it so

[HipChick]

78. I agree

[malaise]

84. Hi there

[JI7]

60. He will be 80 years old in about 6 months

[Vinca]

62. This is going to end up being "Weekend at Bernies, The Sequel" for the next 3 years.

[OldBaldy1701E]

63. And, now we see why they chose Couch Cushion as his VP.

They could see that this was going to happen. So, they put in someone worse than the orange gibbon so that, when the time comes, they will get the 'iron dictator' that they so desperately want.

Our only hope is that he has managed to upset enough rethugs that they will want to lose him asap.

[LymphocyteLover]

64. his demise would be a huge benefit to the world but reports of his imminent demise and

poor health have been reported for years and years now

[niyad]

68. Just like with putler.

[LymphocyteLover]

132. good point

what a coincidence...

[NBachers]

69. Thanks Nadine ; - )

[Fla Dem]

70. Hopefully, but not holding my breath.

[Borogove]

73. I fear this is just wishful thinking. We've been hearing the same thing for years and yet merrily on he rolls.

[ITAL]

75. I'll believe it when I see it

Trump's family line is pretty long lived and many of these symptoms, he's had for years. Hell, I thought there was a decent chance he had one foot in the grave years ago too, but he'll probably make it to 90+ like his old man.

[DFW]

76. Been hearing some version of this for almost ten years

But like the cadaver of el Cid, they keep trotting something out that resembles him enough to keep the Republicans cowered and ready to vote for The Great Pumpkin to be the next Secretary of Agriculture.

[Cosmocat]

109. Yep

Nm

[ProudMNDemocrat]

81. 3 to 5 months?

That could mean he will not be around for the 250th? Or even his 80th Birthday?

He and his ass-kissers made fun of Joe Biden being the oldest POTUS. But in this case, Joe was aware of his surroundings, chose his words carefully, worked around his stuttering visibility, even was still taking jogs and riding bikes.

But it is becoming painfully clear that Trump is falling apart in real time for all to see. Pictures do not lie.

[Deminpenn]

88. If a person is otherwise in good health,

Last edited Sat Dec 6, 2025, 09:24 PM - Edit history (1)

you can live a long time with dementia, but with Alzheimers your mind eventually forgets how to do things like eating and swallowing.

[Polybius]

138. Thongs!

Funny typo!

[Deminpenn]

141. Lol. Corrected

nt

[Polybius]

153. The fact that it autocorrected to "thongs" means that you use the word a lot

And you know what that means? I'm jealous of your life!

[Deminpenn]

159. Sorry, but not autocorrect, just a typo

as o is right next to i on the keyboard.

[mucifer]

82. he will be impeached he will be arrested he will lose the election

Blah blah blah

he is still here destroying EVERYTHING!

[kimbutgar]

83. Keeping my fingers crossed!

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍

[Javaman]

85. he will be "gone" mentally, but the spineless repukes and the 2025 bunch will continue to

"weekend at Bernies" him forever

[mike_c]

89. start the countdown!

[CanonRay]

90. Prediction: He's dead or out of office before his next birthday

Based on nothing but wishful thinking

[Initech]

112. When he finally dies, the GOP will straight up Weekend At Bernies him.

They will do anything to keep their ill gotten power.

[Beartracks]

91. It's why Project 2025 is on such an aggressive schedule.

It all has to get done while Trump is still useful to them.

===============

[Dan]

93. From his quote to God's ears!!!

[Groundhawg]

94. forgive me if i don't hold my breath.

[malthaussen]

97. Watched a friend of mine go through what sure looked like the same thing...

... and yep, he was dead in under 6 months. He fell off the cliff fast.

I still got February 2nd, 2026, Groundhog’s Day….Can’t go through this again…was the reason. Silly but…ehh.

I sure hope they took the football away from him.

111. Finally! Some good news! And Melania loves to hear that! nt

[QED]

116. JD isn't well liked by MAGA

Pres JD might just signal the end of the reign of MAGA. I hope so.

[niyad]

124. Darn, looks like I missed another troll.

[iemanja]

123. Dementia doesn't kill people

When severe, it incapacitates them, but most people have memory that fades in and out. I think it’s wishful thinking to believe Trump will be dead in a few months.

[CapnSteve]

129. The easy way out for him...

I want him to live long enough to see all his power and money taken away from him, to be laughed at humiliated and all sign of him scrubbed away.

Fucking pedophile.

[EllieBC]

130. Been fooled by Fitzmas once. Won't happen again.

Let me know when he actually croaks.

[Aussie105]

135. The cliff is coming.

Trump is in physical decline but being kept alive with medical treatment.

Soon that treatment will be ineffective.

Without treatment, the decline is slow and visible.
With treatment, the decline is not visible.
But both end the same way.

Sleep well Donald. Tomorrow is another day. Maybe not for you.

[Callie1979]

136. Its more likely Leqembi. IV administered; MRI's required. But not holding my breath

Been hearing "it wont be long now" for 6-8 YEARS

[Ilsa]

140. Felon47 won't exercise or eat healthy foods.

No wonder his brain is failing him. He probably could have lived to his mother's age of 88 or older if he had just taken better care of himself.

[Lithos]

142. Hyper sensationalistic

Most people with Alzheimer's live 3-12 years, sometimes more. This drug is given in the early stages to remove plaque, hopefully staving off more serious issues. The delay in the onset of serious effects from this drug is measured in months. If he had 3-5 months, he would be in a far worse state at the moment and would not be on this drug. The damage would be done - as noted, this drug does not reverse symptoms, delays the transition to the worst state while the disease is in its earliest phase..

I'm not saying he is not on this drug, just that the 3-5 months is hyperbolic. It would explain the MRI as that is what they use to test the efficacy of this drug's effect.

L-

[onenote]

150. If I had a nickel for every post that contained a prediction of Trump's imminent demise

I could add a very nice ballroom to my house.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

156. trump is not well

[themaguffin]

157. This all seems very plausible, but until it happens, he's there flailing and God know what happens then.

[Happy Hoosier]

158. I'd love that, but we've heard that before

I think he’s like the Sith… his hate keeps him alive.
