    Whenever I’ve seen elderly people in the throes of full-blown dementia, they just sit quiet & docile, spacing out and cuddling with a blanket and occasionally mumbling something incoherent & not recognizing any of their family members they’ve known their whole lives. Pray DJT reaches this level of dementia asap.

      Yeah, but most people with dementia are not propped up with god-knows-what before being shoved on a stage.

        I’ve often wondered what Trump’s loaded on to continue this level of function. Never been around dementia patients, just going on what I see and what doctors have said.

      Dated a nurse who worked the midnight shift in a home for dementia and Alzheimers patients. Love to hear her take.

      Well there are also a lot of them that just walk aimlessly everywhere, insult everyone and yell a lot. Granted I work in the ER I’m biased. We end up sedating them just to avoid they harm themselves or others. I guess we could justify sedating trump to protects others?
