No, I'm 1000% sure he has Parkinson's walking pneumonia that Hillary gave him during the debates. It was in a box... everyone told him to not open it... just don't open it Donnie... there it was, jumped out with it's little walking feet right onto Trump's giant orange face... going pneumonia all over it... this dude Parkinson gave it to her...

Dementia at that age is an outlier.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dementia
"About 3% of people between the ages of 65–74 have dementia, 19% between 75 and 84 and nearly half of those over 85 years of age".
I'm not a fan of remote diagnosis for physical ailments. I think it's fine to play armchair psychologist -- like it's pretty obvious Trump has a huge ego and narcissistic traits. Even some of his supporters admit that.
But getting to things like Alzheimers and Dementia -- or Seizures and Parkinson's....I just can't get on board.
Especially in a scenario like this where he's likely super tired. That's not a good time to judge anyone's health.
So? It's still nothing unheard of or impossibility.
3% is quite huge actually.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dementia

Trump makes the front page news even when he has to take an extra 3 minutes to poop.

Makes you wonder how many of our leaders have it now.
My Grandmother had it when she died at 92. It was pretty bad.
I truly don't understand why we have a tendency to elect old people. Even if they dodge the bullet of Alzheimers or dementia they still slow down, both physically and mentally. I mean people are still talking about Biden, Bernie, and even Trump in 2020 and I'm just like "Hell no, TOO OLD."
We certainly shouldn't be electing 21 year olds to high offices, but why not people who are still in their prime? I mean at least in their 50s? They have a ton of life and professional experience but aren't slowing down yet.

Political left, right similarly motivated to avoid rival views
[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
I've been thinking Trump isn't going to make it to the end of his term. If not from impeachment, then from a possible stress related heart attack due to his age and the toll the presidential takes on one's self. Given that he's pretty used to a low-work and stress free environment from his old job, he's going to be in for quite a shock.
