Doesn't matter...Trump is and still will be far, far better for the Country than anyone the Democratic National Communists could come up with to replace him...

So care to elaborate on why you don't think Trump could have dementia?

Nothing has shown me otherwise.

Hillary was a moron, she was untrustworthy, lied.
She was just as bad a choice as Trump.
I don't know how many times I have to say this to you but being anti-trump does not make someone pro-Clinton.

As far as your topic, it seems as though normal aging is affecting President Trump.

No, it's that I do not see evidence of dementia, only the rumour-mongering of obsessives.
Depersonalization disorder (DPD), also known as depersonalization-derealization syndrome, is a mental disorder in which the person has persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization and/or derealization. Symptoms can be classified as either depersonalization or derealization. Depersonalization is described as feeling disconnected or estranged from one's self. Individuals experiencing depersonalization may report feeling as if they are an outside observer of their own thoughts or body, and often report feeling a loss of control over their thoughts or actions.[1] In some cases, individuals may be unable to accept their reflection as their own, or they may have out-of-body experiences.[2] While depersonalization is a sense of detachment from one's self, derealization is described as detachment from one's surroundings. Individuals experiencing derealization may report perceiving the world around them as foggy, dreamlike/surreal, or visually distorted.[1] In addition to these depersonalization-derealization disorder symptoms, the inner turmoil created by the disorder can result in depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, panic attacks, phobias, etc. It can also cause a variety of physical symptoms, including chest pain, blurry vision, visual snow, nausea, and the sensation of pins and needles in one's arms or legs. Depersonalization-derealization disorder is thought to be caused largely by severe traumatic lifetime events, including childhood abuse, accidents, natural disasters, war, torture, and bad drug experiences. It is unclear whether genetics plays a role; however, there are many neurochemical and hormonal changes in individuals with depersonalization disorder.[3] The disorder is typically associated with cognitive disruptions in early perceptual and attentional processes.[4] Diagnostic criteria for depersonalization-derealization disorder include, among other symptoms, persistent or recurrent feelings of detachment from one's mental or bodily processes or from one's surroundings.[5] A diagnosis is made when the dissociation is persistent and interferes with the social and/or occupational functions of daily life. However, accurate descriptions of the symptoms are hard to provide due to the subjective nature of depersonalization/derealization and persons' ambiguous use of language when describing these episodes. In the DSM-5, it was combined with Derealization Disorder and renamed Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder (DDPD).[6] In the DSM-5, it remains classified as a dissociative disorder, while the ICD-10 calls it depersonalization-derealization syndrome and classifies it as a neurotic disorder.[7] Although the disorder is an alteration in the subjective experience of reality, it is not a form of psychosis, as the person is able to distinguish between his own internal experiences and the objective reality of the outside world. During episodic and continuous depersonalization, the person can distinguish between reality and fantasy. In other words, the grasp on reality remains stable at all times.[

But He's still quick and sharp
It is very possible he can get dementia.
I think it is a reasonable question, but when made by those who wish to discredit him, a highly suspect attempt at diagnosing a human being from afar for the sake of slander.

hmmm.... intersting.
So now do you care to address any of the issues that I have raised in the OP or are you just going to do what you usually do and deflect
The disorder is typically associated with cognitive disruptions

So, to be more direct. No, I don't think Trump has dementia, I think there is more evidence of a mental disorder in those that keep wishing it were true and pushing it in order to slander a President they did not want to win office.
