   Does Donald Trump have dementia?

   The presidential campaign of Donald Trump has proven to be far more durable   
   and powerful than any pundit could have predicted.    
      
   Despite Trump's naked demagoguery, open racism, blatant lies, constant   
   flip-flopping, and lack of any policy seriousness, he has struck a deep cord   
   within the GOP electorate. Far from being the attention-starved, human   
   comments section he was before,    
   Trump has personified the Ultimate Drunk Uncle campaign and become the   
   figurehead Troll God of the angry so-called "silent majority" of the   
   Republican Party. Since his presidential announcement in June, Trump said many   
   things that might have doomed other    
   political candidates -- but who else could really get away it? Only the   
   elderly and the mad. He seems less a man possessing character than one   
   possessed by his character. Now, bear with me ...    
      
   The thing about Trump that no one really mentions is that he is 69 years old.   
   He'll be 70 on Election Day 2016. He's older than Hillary Clinton and Jeb   
   Bush. The only top-tier candidate older than Trump is Bernie Sanders. Trump is   
   fucking old. Now here's    
   something else to consider. Trump's father, Fred Trump, suffered from   
   Alzheimer's Disease before his death in 1999. Recent studies have shown that   
   Alzheimer's affects its victims much earlier than previously thought, and,   
   considering The Donald's    
   behavior on the campaign trail, it might not be too far off the mark to   
   consider that Fred Trump gave more to his son than millions of dollars and a   
   particularly virulent form of racism. Let's take a look at the symptoms and   
   compare them to Trump's    
   specific brand of politics.    
      
        
      
   Loss of recent memories    
      
      
   After botching the answer to a question from Hugh Hewitt about the Iranian   
   Al-Quds force, Trump attacked Hewitt on Twitter later in the day, misspelling   
   the names of the terror leaders whom he claimed to know. A week later, during   
   a satellite address to    
   a conference on Ukraine, he offended many in attendance by referring to the   
   country as "The Ukraine." Ukraine has been independent since 1991.    
      
        
      
   Trouble with speech and turning thoughts into words or understanding others

   Anyone who has watched one or more of Trump's rambling, incoherent aimless   
   political speeches about himself can identify this most common trait. One   
   would need to look no further than Trump's use of the verbal tic "bing bing   
   bong bong," which refers to    
   the ease at which he has bought politicians through campaign contributions.   
   Trump has also shown a disconcerting habit of talking about his policies   
   without being able to properly articulate what those policies actually are.    
      
        
      
   Less interest in work or social activities and more time spent around the home   
   and watching TV    
      
   tv    
   Trump hasn't filmed an episode of The Apprentice in quite some time, and, far   
   from "building things" as he likes to say he does, Trump makes a great deal of   
   money by selling his name and brand to more active real estate developers.   
   While most candidates    
   spend their days on the road in Iowa or New Hampshire, Trump has spent the   
   bulk of his campaign calling in to television shows from his headquarters at   
   Trump Tower in Manhattan. After claiming multiple times that no one is more   
   militaristic that he,    
   Trump was asked where he gets his military information from. He claimed "I   
   watch the shows."    
      
        
      
   Having a hard time with everyday tasks, such as balancing a checkbook    
      
   Real estate developer Donald Trump, gestures during a news conference with the   
   PGA in New York    
   Though Trump is a billionaire, he has never been able to properly tell the   
   public exactly how much he's worth, frequently exaggerating the figures. In   
   fact, he should be worth much more than he is, considering he inherited a real   
   estate empire in the    
   1970s worth hundreds of millions. And then there are the bankruptcies...    
      
        
      
   Not dressing properly for the weather    
      
   Donald Trump    
   Trump has shown flexibility in the color of his "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN"   
   hats, but he has refused to appear at any public event without a suit jacket,   
   even as his fellow candidates campaigned in shirtsleeves through the hottest   
   days of summer.    
      
        
      
   Delusions    
      
   delusional    
   This one kind of speaks for itself. Then again, what politician running for   
   president couldn't this be said about?    
      
        
      
   Sleeplessness and insomnia    
      
   night time    
   Trump has gone on numerous-hours long tweetstorms and rants in the middle of   
   the night, most notably involving his sexist reaction to Megyn Kelly after the   
   first GOP presidential debate.    
      
        
      
   Clingy and childlike behavior    
      
   debate rand    
   There is not one facet of Trump's campaign where this symptom would not apply,   
   especially his attacks on Rand Paul at the Reagan Library debate.    
      
        
      
   Meaningless repetition of words, repetitive speech or actions    
      
   trump speeches    
   While repetitive speech and actions can be used to describe any politician in   
   any campaign since the beginning of time, Trump has made excessive use of a   
   number of words and phrases to an almost mind-numbing degree. In campaign   
   speeches when he's not    
   reciting the fact that he went to Wharton and that you have to very smart to   
   go there, Trump will repeat poll numbers ad nauseum before getting into   
   anything resembling policy.    
      
   There are the constant mentions of the book he wrote (with help) decades ago,   
   The Art of The Deal. Calling people "losers" or "stupid" while proclaiming   
   himself "smart," repeatedly referring to himself as the GOP's "fair haired   
   boy" to "bing bing bong    
   bong," professing his "love" of immigrants, Muslims, women or any other group   
   he has offended, calling both Jeb Bush and Ben Carson "low energy" and that   
   he'll "be so good at the military it'll make your head spin." Trump sounds   
   less like a political    
   broken record and more like a person suffering from some form of mental   
   illness with meaningless slogans and shallow figures of speech" swirling   
   around his head.    
      
        
      
   Mood-swings, aggression, irritation    
      
   asshole
