45 Just Proved He's Got Dementia While Trying To Show Off For Italy's PM.

37. Dementia of any kind is a cruel disease and has no respect or pity based on your Station in life.

It can come on slowly and gradually and get worse over years or can hit with a fury that leaves you struggling for life and purpose in a matter of months. I saw both versions: first with my mother who had a long, gradual decline. She never quite forgot who I was but sometimes was clearly confused by many ordinary events in the end. Early in she fought the symptoms and hated her memory loss. Later she was quite docile and accepting of it.

My brother-in-law, who was quite brilliant and had a truly gentle, kind spirit had a rapid onset of symptoms and died in a matter of months (March to June). Early on he was extremely agitated and angry. He constantly repeated numbers and said little else. Later he was more controlled and quiet with no signs of anger or irritability. He was an expert in death and dying and had written his wishes long before he got sick. He refused food and nutrition (except to take the medication that kept him calm) and lived far longer than anyone expected. He donated his body to University of North Carolina for medical research.

tRump may very well be suffering from some form of dementia and keeping it hidden will be futile. He enjoys the spotlight far too much. Each time he goes to a microphone he runs the risk that he will say something that gives him away. I notice that lately he is scripted quite a lot. When he goes off script is when he tends to make errors, such as saying he IS great friends with some long dead person. People are starting to notice tRump's mistakes and will be keeping track. If he is declining, fast or slow, someone is always watching and trying to keep it a well guarded secret is a fool's errand.
