1 Trump’s train wreck already occurred. Every day we are witnessing his burning wreckage. He’s at the point where dementia really starts to take over. It’s dominating his schedule & activities. Yelling semi-incoherently is about all he has left. Expect more emergency “physicals”
2 Walter Reed theories abound- heart, stroke, fall. What was he was carrying? Why the rush to go by vehicle. Did he really come back to the WH that afternoon? Too many variables to be sure but his Texas trip w/ Ivanka & the Doc & the short AF1 stairs are signs something happened.
3 My WR guess:
-Med event required further tests
-He's pushed to go
-He had been blowing off his brain MRI
-MRI was done of his brain

Fact-sequential MRIs are done over time to diagnose & measure to the progress of brain atrophy of the PSP version of FTD that I suspect Trump has
4 Obama’s doctor called out what has been apparent & continually worsening. Trump has a serious neurological issue. Note how adamant he is here. There is a longer higher quality version in TL. Word finding is the key point.
5 Trump’s conversations continue to degenerate. His 53 minute performance on Fox was a disaster. He couldn’t remember Rep Elsie Stefanik's name, like he couldn’t remember Winona Judd's name & called her "Red hair" & couldn’t remember Sebastian Gorka’s name
6 If you bought a Trump puppet at the puppet store, it would be crying. He's a highly unstable & deteriorating puppet. Of all the world’s leaders have you ever seen anyone react to booing this way? The boos were undeniable & he broke down in public.
7 I talk a/b Trump’s balance often bc it will be a game changer. While his enablers are content to let him rage & spout unintelligible phrases, falling will be something everyone sees. He's careful now. Note AF1 stairs. It won't last & falls are dangerous
8 The falls w/ dementia can appear horrifying. Unlike most people who use their legs to regain footing or use their arms to grab something to break the fall, the dementia patient can look like a statute tipping over. Like a stun gun. No hand usage & a delayed awareness of falling
9 A word on Trump's mobility. It’s not like one day he's suddenly in a wheelchair bc he can’t move. What usually happens is the patient starts falling too much. Trips to the ER make loved ones realize that falling even 5% of the time is too dangerous. A cane may help short term.
10 For a deep dive in to Trump’s dementia here’s 25 layers of threads going back chronologically. Each thread has a gateway tweet. It’s a bit lumbering w/ hundreds of tweets so I’m working on a different format- sort of like Trump's Dementia Greatest Hits
11 One common method of coping w/ mid-stage dementia is to write down simple tasks or things to say. Trump has great difficulty communicating his alternate reality defense. Save the Date- 11/20 as the day he needed notes to talk to reporters. Add it to the dementia symptom list
12 Dementia like Trump’s is a 12-15 year illness. The shorter times frames you may read about are due to delayed diagnosis. I’ve said a # of times here that Trump’s arc is approx 2012-2024. The early years are barely noticeable, the later years bedridden.
13 The prognosis is awful. So is talking a/b it on twitter at this stage when he’s so symptomatic. It gets really bad. I expected his removal after the Jan 18 Dr Ronny physical. The coverup was unexpected. A very foolish betrayal of America by his enablers
14 Dementia dominates Trump. It doesn't matter if he sucks up to Senators & gives them Camp David passes. His travel schedule is for show. His destiny is set & nothing can change what’s happening to him. He’s badly deteriorating & he won't be the GOP candidate a year from now
