Trump Opens Up About Family Health History — Reveals Personal Fears

Trump lives in fear of suffering from dementia like his father

According to a pointed analysis that was published on MSNBC’s The Weekend: Primetime, Donald Trump is “haunted” by the possibility of experiencing the same cognitive impairment that his father had.

In the second episode of the program’s history, Timothy L. O’Brien, senior executive editor at Bloomberg Opinion, participated in order to analyze the recent statements made by President Trump regarding his desire to serve a third term in office, which is prohibited under the Constitution of the United States.”

O’Brien, who has been observing Trump for a long time, stated that the former president is primarily motivated by either “self-aggrandizement” or “self-preservation.”

He also suggested that although Trump may fantasize about remaining in power eternally, he is unlikely to actually pursue another term in office.

While making a joke, O’Brien stated, “He’d love to live until he’s 300.” “And it’s likely that he would like to serve as president for two hundred of those years.”

Even though he is 78 years old, Trump is not immune to the effects of time. After watching that clip, O’Brien remarked, “What struck me was just how much Donald Trump has aged,” explaining his observation.

The fact that he will be 79 years old in June is a reality that must be taken into consideration while discussing the potential obstacles that could prevent him from serving a third term. Yes, there are voters, and yes, the 22nd Amendment.

According to The Washington Post, O’Brien stated that Trump’s health, particularly his fear of mental decline, is a more serious matter, despite the fact that the Constitution prohibits anybody from being elected president more than twice.

“He lives in fear of following the same path his father did, from dementia to Alzheimer’s,” he added. “He is terrified of dying,” he said. It’s a weight that he’s been carrying about for a very big time.

Following a long and difficult struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, Fred Trump, a successful real estate developer, passed away in 1999 at the age of 93.

Despite the fact that he had been diagnosed with dementia for the first time in 1991, he continued to work well into his condition. Richard Levy, a friend of the family, noted that “he came into the office every day until the day he went to the hospital.”

O’Brien made the observation that Donald Trump rarely discusses the subject, which may be due, in part, to the political risk involved.

On multiple occasions, he has made fun of the mental acuity of former Vice President Joe Biden, which makes it difficult for him to publicly acknowledge his own difficulties.

On the other hand, O’Brien stated that individuals who are close to Trump have observed the signals.

After making this observation, O’Brien stated, “Compare him now to Trump 1.0; the speech is more slurred, the posture is slouched, and the energy seems to be drained.”

“I question how much genuine enthusiasm he has left for the job, beyond the fact that it keeps him out of prison and in the spotlight,” I said. “It could be any number of things.”

In an interview with People magazine from the previous year, Trump’s nephew, Fred C. Trump III, had similar concerns. He stated that he has witnessed indicators of mental decline in his uncle that are hauntingly similar to his own family’s experiences.

Fred, who is 61 years old, stated, “Like everyone else, I’ve noticed the shift.” Moreover, I see it developing in a manner that is strikingly comparable to the manner in which my grandfather declined.
