Two psychologists are warning that President Donald Trump’s frequent confusion and mounting physical issues may be pointing to something more troubling than just aging. On their podcast Shrinking Trump, psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal argued that the 79-year-old president is showing both physical and linguistic symptoms of what they call “early dementia.”
Early dementia refers to the progression of the disease, he’s unlikely to die from it during this term.
As opposed to early onset dementia which is when a younger person than usual is diagnosed.
Dementia’s variable in its rate of progression, partially depending on its underlying cause, and partially due to other factors that aren’t understood. So it could be a fairly steady decline, or he could take a sudden turn for the worse. That’s especially true if it’s vascular dementia, since he closely fits the profile of someone who’s been having micro-strokes for a while, so dysfunction in the brain’s blood vessels is not unlikely to be happening too. Based on this, my guess is that it’ll be more a cascading crash-and-burn than slow rot for Pig Boy.
