I knew Trump had dementia the second I saw him use two hands pick up a glass of water and that was several years ago. IMHO he’s past the tipping point. One moderate illness, flu, Covid, UTI etc, and he’s toast. As one of my mom’s doctors said after a UTI that landed her in the hospital, people with dementia never get back to where they were before the illness.
