I sincerely believe that our president is suffering from
mild senile dementia. I say this because his habit of making statements based on
an incomplete base of knowledge is similar to that of my husband’s.
These days, my husband is prone to making wild statements similar
to this: “Jenny’s going to the store to buy bread.” He says
that when he sees her pulling out of her garage. He’ll see a repair truck in
someone’s driveway, and he knows what they’re there to fix. Not “I wonder what
they’re here for,” but “They’re here to fix the dish washer.” His thought
processes have short-circuited. You know he has no way of knowing what’s going
on, but he’s sure of his conclusion.
My husband’s mild senile dementia is the result of two mild
"watershed” strokes. As with our president, he doesn’t show the usual
physical symptoms of senility, but they do share some of the mental symptoms. The website of the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research
Foundation lists them as “impaired judgement, loss of memory, and sometimes
childish behavior.”
Think about some of the recent statements made by the
president in speeches, press conferences, or in tweets, and you’ll realize that
he’s suffering from all three symptoms.
