BREAKING: Dementia J. Trump again says the name of the current president is Obama.
(Within five hours he will insist this is a...palindrome🤷🏼‍♂️)
Confused Trump forgets who’s President: "I hear that they like Obama better. They should like Obama better. You know why? Got bad under under this guy. So he now wants to send them $60 billion..."
@GottaLaff I think the term “dementia” is getting thrown around a little too loosely, and it could be a bit hurtful to family members struggling with it
My MIL has dementia. Neither Biden NOR Trump shows me any signs of that, but guess what, I’m not a doctor
Any parent who's ever called one of their children by the other's name likely could empathize when President Joe Biden mixed up the names of French leaders Macron and Mitterrand. Donald Trump is making similar gaffes, such as confusing Republican challenger Nikki Haley and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Experts say everyone makes these kinds of flubs. Only medical tests can tell whether a verbal stumble is a sign of trouble. The 81-year-old Biden has long history of verbal gaffes. But they’re getting new attention after a special counsel decided Biden shouldn’t face criminal charges for his handling of classified documents, while describing him as an old man with trouble remembering dates.
@peterbutler I've cared for many loved ones who suffered from various forms of dementia (Alzheimer's, strokes, aneurysms, etc).
Dementia can be mild too, not just the really bad stuff. I've cared for family members and friends with all ranges. It never gets better, only worse, sadly.
