2. His dementia will sideline him before, I'm convinced. I truly believe it is frontotemporal dementia

which is progressive, albeit not necessarily a fast track. But he's already symptomatic (including his gait and balance issues- which are complicated by his poor lower limb circulation, but that is two separate problems). In fact, I think he is getting some regular experimental infusion treatments to slow the progression-which explains the bruising to his hands.

We shall see. I've seen prior neuro-diagnosed ER patients come in very similar to Trump's presentation. And at the stage I observed them and their history of disease progression, despite some seeming improvement early in the day (sundowner syndrome), none of them would have been able to be more than a "Breakfast at Bernie's" figure three years later in 2028. Obviously, there will be an incredible continuing effort to mask his intense deterioration. And some of the infusion treatments under study do show some success in slowing progress or at least allowing for temporary improvements, so... Obviously, he will be offered the most promising options--something the average person likely will not.
