CNBC correspondent muses on Trump's mental health: 'He did not look well to me'

[Phantasmal]

And you are dumber than dirt if you think his deranged moonbat son's opinion qualifies as a physician.

Derrrrr.

Relatives and friends usually notice the signs first before there is any formal diagnosis. They are usually the ones who bring it to the attention of the physician so there can be a formal diagnosis.

Nothing will come of it. They will kiss up and then leave with the only thing being a meeting. That is a huge win for Kim. The NK leaders have been begging to get on the world stage. trump is handing it to them for free. He makes the best deals. Kim can go home and tell his people whatever he wants. But he is now an international status power. This proves how important his nuke program is. Kim will tell all his people the nuke program made us a world power. but now I will get rid of it. All that work. All that money. All that starvation. I don't think so.

how do you function on a daily basis, must suck to have this ^^^^thought process

If indeed Trump is in the early to mid-stages of dementia, his ppl are covering up for him. We can only hope for the sake of our country that they are decent and honorable ppl. Given his history of poor choices, though... frankly, I am terrified.

you think the Wizard of OZ was real don't you?

And over here, with my husband's mom. We took her with us to Alaska in 2007. I had known him less than a year at that point, and only met her a couple of times as we lived several hours apart by highway. Although she seemed bright and with-it 95% of the time, there were odd lapses. For instance, she would be peeling potatoes for supper and put the paring knife down on the counter and couldn't find it a few minutes later. Same with her purse... twice she was very upset that she'd lost it, and it turned out to be sitting on her bedside table where she'd left it. A couple other times she got lost in small gift shops and couldn't find her way out, and seemed puzzled at the things in her basket. Since we were relatively new to each other, and I to her son, I hesitated to say something to him about my observations. In addition, his dad/her husband of 50+ yrs had passed the year before; we all know how depression can affect our cognition.

But that changed when we got home. She had driven to St. Louis and left her car at our house. She was frantic when it was time to drive back to Illinois, that she would get lost. She *knew* the darkness was closing in at times. We drew her a map (simple... she only had to switch highways once). She was still frightened, so we had her follow us in her car and guided her to the first highway. She vanished! We had no idea where she went; she had no cell phone either. It turned out that she went west instead of east.... by almost 50 miles, then suddenly the fog lifted and she reversed course and remembered how to get home. I told him of my earlier observations and that it might be time to alert the family to start keeping a closer eye on her.... she lived alone in the family farm house, but did babysit the close-by grandkids daily. They started noticing lapses too, including leaving the stove burners on. Eventually she entered a skilled nursing facility, in 2011. This dear soul passed last year.... 10 years after we noticed the decline.

If indeed Trump is in the early to mid-stages of dementia, his ppl are covering up for him. We can only hope for the sake of our country that they are decent and honorable ppl. Given his history of poor choices, though... frankly, I am terrified.

Yet with your advanced medical training you kept quite and allowed a person with possible dementia drive herself a couple of hours home. A caring daughter in law or prospective daughter in law would have driven her home ensured the family was aware of her condition and then returned home. BTW My father had severe dementia and we cared for him till we could get him the proper care he needed, seems like you could have done the same.

Didn’t you see where she was new to the family? People often don’t want noobs interfering in family issues. Depression can also cause people to have lapses in mental cognition as she stated. I think you are making judgements based on the fact that you dislike Owl. Situations are different with each family of Alzheimer’s or dementia patients. It is wonderful you were able to care for your father, other families have to work, or the parent is too violent for the family to handle, each case is different and they may not be able to care for the parent.

Oh look, Feeble Guy is still following me around. Tsk. He doesn't read the entirety of anything I post; he just picks out snippets to make a fool of himself with. He's quite good at it, isn't he?

and you're making judgments.... based on what exactly?

Let's deal with the facts,
Owl allowed an elderly family member whom she was more than convinced suffering from a serious mental issue drive a car a long way with a "hand drawn map".
Owl is terrified because a CNBC opines Trump is suffering early dementia.


Owl is not stable or of sound judgement, but cheer for whomever and whatever you want to

Oh so you would prefer she kept quite and allow a strongly possible tragedy to happen on the off chance she might offend the family. Wow your thinking is as F-ed up as your politics.

Lol, seems the family members were also aware of her habits. There are many people who have lapses of memory, forgetting where they put thing, forgetting names, it doesn’t necessarily translate into them having Alzheimer’s. It isn’t until something like the road trip gone wrong happens that you come to terms with the fact that there might be a bigger problem. I’m sure if you are honest about it that you attributed your fathers decline to age at first and it wasn’t until other signs you realized it was more than age. If you were to be honest. I’m sure you didn’t take his car away the first time he forgot something? Or showed confusion. I know my girlfriend didn’t with her mother, it wasn’t until she was gone for six hours on a simple errand that they determined there was something more going on. It happens, I see silver alerts all the time here in Texas, missing elderly. It happens to many people and families l, they think their loved one is fine till something major happens.

Your opinion of my politics and thinking process matter not.

 

[PoliTalker]

Hello ThatOwlWoman,

If Trump truly does have something mental going on, like Alzheimers, who are these ppl who are propping him up and keeping silent?

Simple: Party over country.

You do know you aren't Bowel Woman's mommy! But she is a coward and prefers to have fools fight for her. Have you ever been around a person with dementia? At what point does age effect memory 60, 70, 80, 90? No if you have ever been around someone close you recognize the onset rather quickly. But then like Bowel you are an expert on the subject so I am preaching to the choir.

Yes, I have had two Aunts and my best friend’s mother and their symptoms appeared slowly. There are 7 stages of the disease, in some cases they come on quickly, in other cases the progression is slow. I have read extensively on the subject when my Aunt was diagnosed and took a class with my friend when her mother was diagnosed. I am no expert, but I do know the disease affects people differently. My Aunt was hostile, agitated. My friends mother is very sweet and childlike. Your one size fits all is incorrect, your fathers symptoms may have been sudden and obvious, but that isn’t the case with everyone.

 

[PoliTalker]

Hello evince,

hes a narcissistic idiot who OWES something to Putin

I think he is certainly a narcissist, but I also think he is very smart. He's simply smart in a different way. Foolish in many ways, but still intelligent.

he is insane and hates this nation

I don't believe he is insane, but I do believe he has very serious mental issues and would benefit greatly from counseling. I also think his ego would prevent him from admitting that he could improve and that he would not seek counseling even though he could easily afford it and would be better for it.

I do not believe President Trump hates the USA. He just has a weird way of showing his appreciation.

the republicans are to blame for not stopping him

Partially. Honestly, it was a perfect political storm. If the Democrats had not run such a controversial figure they would have easily been able to beat the VERY controversial Trump. The Democrats must share some of the blame for the loss.

Never said they were I was simply pointing out your description was faulty also as you now admit no two people are the same. But the original argument of Bowel not taking an active roll in her MIL still stands. She claims to be a nurse so that would have added credence to her diagnosis. But you try to cover for her no matter what when it's clear you are applying a double standard which is why I have lost respect for your opinions.

Very true. In my Mother-in-Law's case, the onset was very gradual. As I indicated in my original post, when at home she was functional and only occasionally had small lapses of forgetfulness. A few years after our trip, she went to live for a while with the son who lived the closest and did very poorly there because the environment was not familiar. She did not have Alzheimers dementia; she had Lewy Body Dementia which tends to present more as a psychosis with hallucinations, violent outbursts, and severe agitation. We all made a group decision to find her nursing home care because she was so miserable plus she wandered away from their home twice. I had a couple of residents in my care with LBD; medical and personal management is quite different than it is with the more common AD. Maybe your aunt also had LBD?

Absolutely true! The (D)s had best be coughing up some viable candidates this next time around, or history books in the year 2118 will be marking this period as the fall of the American empire.

 

[Superfreak]

There have been plenty of mental health professionals who have expressed concerns about Trump's mental health.

LMAO... and how many of them actually evaluated Trump personally?

We both know the answer... ZERO. Which shows they are not actually professionals. No professional would attempt to diagnose a person they had never evaluated.

 

[PoliTalker]

Hello signalmankenneth,

White House tasks office with taping together papers after Trump rips them up: report?!! Trump is a nutcase?!!

http://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...asked-with-taping-together-papers-after-trump

Why am I not surprised?

This is the same guy that cancelled the ethics training for the WH Staff, has by far the largest turnover of people he hired himself, and often interrupts himself in mid-sentence during a speech.

How many who had no interest in bias toward Mr Trump have been ALLOWED TO? ... ZERO.
