Vascular dementia and Trump [View all]
If something interferes with blood flow to the brain it doesn't get enough oxygen and brain cells die. That leads to vascular dementia.
If you look up the symptoms of vascular dementia they may sound familiar because Trump appears to be exhibiting them.
This is different from the normal slowing down and memory issues associated with aging.
My mom had vascular dementia. It began 25 years before her death with a stroke. Later in her life her dementia accelerated. When she finally passed away - which I considered a blessing as it ended her suffering - she could not walk, was incontinent, and could barely talk or eat.
I'm not a health care professional but I know that Trump is not right in the head. He's had personality disorders all his adult life but this is new. If you listen to him talk he makes no sense. He makes things up. He mixes words together in bizarre ways.
My mom had phases where she was stable for months or years, then she'd have another decline. She could fool people until close to the very end. But the poor judgment and messed up memory started decades earlier.
The media is choosing to ignore this but if Trump has vascular dementia he's going to continue to decline. I think that Vance and the billionaires know this and are just biding their time. Vance will be worse.
Risk factors for vascular dementia per the NIH. Count how many Trump has:
high blood pressure (hypertension)
smoking
an unhealthy diet
high blood cholesterol
lack of exercise
being overweight or obese
diabetes
drinking too much alcohol
atrial fibrillation – a type of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) – and other types of heart disease
These problems increase the risk of damage to the blood vessels in and around your brain, or cause blood clots to develop inside them.
