General Discussion

We don't expect the President to dunk a basketball, to run faster than the Chancellor of Germany or to settle trade issues in the Sumo wrestling ring. It is vitally important that the President's brain be working pretty well.

Trump obviously has some heart/circulatory issues. In that case, the American people deserve to know: a) that if those issues interfere with the job, that the 25th Amendments will be used, and b) that there is a succession of competent people ready to step in at a moment's notice.

The mental issues are different. He clearly has very little left of his prefrontal cortex. He has extremely poor judgment and very little impulse control. It is costing Americans trillions of dollars and creating problems that may take another generation or two to reverse. We are all in great danger every day he remains on the job. We deserve to know the full extent of his mental problems.

We have all seen the impulse control problem, and we can all see it getting worse by the day. What is important to understand that this is a LATER stage of Alzheimer's Disease. The prefrontal cortex is relatively unaffected in the earlier stages of Alz, where the impact is largely in the memory center. It is the later stages of Alz when the impulse control fades, usually leading to erratic behavior, loss of impulse control, extreme agitation and the other highly visible symptoms we see from this guy on a daily basis.
