Dr. Gupta

He doesn't have, he's having elements.

I would say, you know, some people say, well, is he showing signs of early Alzheimer's or early just age-related cognitive decline?

Perhaps.

A lot of the symptoms that we just talked about are consistent with those diagnoses.

Again, we're just observing what we're seeing.

But frontotemporal dementia, you know, the acting out, behavior changes, lashing out,

acting unreasonable.

You know, one again, one could say this is his core fundamental personality based on what we've seen over the last, over frankly his entire adult life, but it's getting worse.

Ben, from the very start, I think, number one, he's the president of the United States, so let's hope he's getting beyond the headlines the care that he needs.

He does have a family history, importantly, of age-related dementia.

His father, famously, this has been well-documented, Fred Trump,

uh had age-related cognitive decline and it manifested frankly and a lot a lot of his family members have actually spoken out about this there's a lot of similarities between what we're seeing more and more frequently we're observing out of the trends that we first noticed a few months ago we're

There's a symmetry between some of these earlier signs in his case and what his father went through.

Mary Trump, others of his extended family have spoken out about this symmetry.

But what are we seeing?

We're seeing, again, we're just observing the facts here.

Just to say, we don't have his medical data.

I don't have access to his medical chart, but this is what everybody's observing and he's the president.

So I think the scrutiny is fair.

uh word finding difficulties the fact that uh he has inattention you know he loses his train of thought uh everybody is describing these speeches as meandering covering a 30 different topics in the course of say two minutes uh he's meandering so that's inattention clear inability to express his own thoughts difficulty completing a sentence
