As someone who\u2019s been affected by Alzheimer\u2019s disease, I know how difficult it is on everyone involved. It\u2019s challenging, takes patience and is demanding. It\u2019s sad watching a loved one lose a sense of reality. The only thing caregivers can do is create the best environment possible and love them. I remember how terrifying it was when my mother got the call that her father had wondered off and was found walking aimlessly on a busy highway because he was lost.<\/p>\n
But along the way there were early signs from my grandfather.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m not saying Donald Trump has Alzheimer\u2019s or some other form of dementia, but some of his behavior has been curious over the last year or so. It\u2019s created two basic camps: What\u2019s wrong with this guy<\/em> and God I love him<\/em>. And over the course of campaigning he\u2019s demonstrated certain symptoms that closely resemble signs of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. <\/p>\n Trump released a letter stating he will be the \u2018healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. And while other candidates have released letters from their doctors which attest to their mental state, Trump has not. He\u2019ll turn 70 years old on Election Day 2016. Here\u2019s a look at some of the basic symptoms and you can diagnose for yourself:<\/p>\n MEMORY LOSS<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s plenty of examples, but you need not look any further than the David Duke comments. \u201cSo I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know\u2014did he endorse me, or what\u2019s going on?\u201d Trump said in a recent CNN interview. \u201cBecause I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists.\u201d But he\u2019s on the record of knowing Mr. Duke in a statement reported by The New York Times in 2000. And he also indicated days before at a press conference and said, \u201cDavid Duke endorsed me? Okay, all right. I disavow, okay?\u201d
