MemberAs Trump's dementia progresses, he continues to exhibit seemingly childish behaviors such as mood swings, tantrums, irrationality, forgetfulness, and vocabulary problems, which are similar to those seen in young children.
Such regression occurs because the brain cells of those afflicted are damaged to the point that their ability to communicate with each other is impaired. When brain cells cannot communicate normally, a person's thinking, behavior, and emotions are severely affected.
For example, the brain begins to forget things it has learned and struggles to arrange information in the correct order. People with dementia may also forget what they have just said, where they placed something, or become confused when performing tasks with multiple steps. Many also lose interest in activities they once enjoyed.
In most cases, family members or trusted individuals assist, eventually taking over the daily lives of those affected. The presidency, however, is the opposite: those around the president serve at his pleasure, carrying out his orders within the law and at times outside the law. Even White House doctors have been politicized beyond rational medical boundaries.
Trump's malignant narcissism is made worse by his evident progressive Alzheimer's dementia, which is recognized by those familiar with other elderly people suffering from the same condition. His bizarre behavior, rambling thoughts, and disorganized speech are on full display and will continue to worsen, while Miller and Vance work in the background, waiting for Donald's decline.
