Donald Trumps mental lapses rapidly worsen as he keeps calling Paul Ryan by wrong name - Hey Ron!

42. The saddest thing about this photo is that rTrump had Barron down there on the tarmac with him

and BOTH of them displayed such a lack of chivalry to their wife/mother.

rTrump does this consistently. God it must be awful being Mrs. Donald Trump (or anyone with that last name for that matter). You'd literally have to had sold your very soul to whatever devil in whatever hell one believes in.

As someone upthread noted, dementia is very much like his consistent odd behaviors and misspeaks in the early stages. Taken together they appear small - at first. As things progress, it's more noticeable, but even then people become used to the eccentricities and chalk them up to Mom or Dad or gran being 'eccentric' in their older years. I know my siblings did at first with both Mom and Dad. Their doctors told us (much later) that the elderly know their mental faculties are declining and they're pretty savvy for most of the time and for a while about maintaining an equilibrium that masks most of it. But the doctor told us that they will fall off the plateaus they maintain because of sudden onset of serious illness (even something like the flu) or a fall, a bone break, a traumatic incident or event (loss of a sibling, spouse, any kind of accident, even one without physical injury) can cause a PTSD reaction that will exacerbate any underlying mental condition that's there and actually worsen them. It definitely happened to both my parents, both following falls, one of which resulted in a broken hip.

tRump is of an age that the ongoing stress and his inability to sleep (apparently) will only worsen any underlying condition, and we know his father died of Alzheimer's dementia. I'm guessing tRump has the same issues, along with his own raging Narcissism.
