New Reports Suggest Trump Might Not Be a Liar at All, But Truly Delusional.

50. I keep wondering if he has had a series of small strokes. My father did and no one but me realized

it. I was with him every day and he was working really hard physically and I noticed his mouth was drooping a little on one side and then he started asking me if I remember Joanie, his wife of 30 years, who of course I had known very well and remembered very well and little things started to pop up. He'd ask the strangest little questions that let me know that he really was not functioning up there on some level. No one else was aware of anything being wrong.

He was all but normal except that parts of his mental functioning had been affected and those things he didn't remember, he just covered by making things up to cover for them. My dad was fiercely independent and I'm sure it scared him to death when he realized that there were blanks in his memory. Rather than admit it and have me take him to the doctor, he just coped by creating an elaborate alternative reality, and it worked for everyone except me.

The droop on his face only lasted a couple of months and his memory seemed to recover but it took a couple of years and he never recovered completely. That's when he was in the 70's. By his 80's he had full blown dementia.
