1 Trump made a dementia confession at his rally when he projected "that’s what happens when you can’t get the words out, you get angry...Might happen to me someday." It was Trumpian of course w/ "might & someday" as qualifiers to acknowledge & downplay undeniable symptoms.
2 Trump's word finding issues are something patients vocalize frustration about for themselves. I've heard this firsthand. It fits w/ the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) version of Frontotemporal Dementia- (IMO). He of course needs a full exam at a place like the Mayo Clinic
3 It’s highly likely Trump has received a softened dementia prognosis. He's very sensitive. The D word probably wasn't used. Since the time span is long, patients are encouraged to stay active. PET & MRI imaging over time confirms dementia. It delays the label he so deeply fears
4 With Trump, it translates to extreme denial & hiding of his many dementia symptoms. He's also lost the ability to accurately view himself even if he was honest.
"That’s what happens when you can’t get the words out, you get angry- Might happen to me someday"
Someday is now
