There is something very wrong with him either developmentally, with his health or both...

Maybe we need to get him one of these...

while not a fan of the racist vulgar pervert and kkknazi supporter ..it seems that he needs medical attention, he may have a serious medical condition and those around him, as well as his family are being negligent..grant it he is not my favorite person .. it's sad really that he's seems to be ill-- not well, both physically and mentally, and it seems that there is no-one around him who cares about his well being.

My very democratic mother, never vote republikkklan--EVER says trumpf is faking whatever ails him, acting confused ..she's says he is sly like a fox..after considering her comments, perhaps he may be looking at claiming dementia or some other debilitating illness in order to resign; he's keeping his options open to avoid criminal charges and/or impeachment or even avoid the process of the 25 Amendment to the constitution whichever comes first ..still he should take care of himself.

The WH has a physician on staff, turns out more than one. From Wickipedia:

"The White House physician has an office inside the White House. The location of his or her medical unit plays an important role in keeping the President of the United States healthy. He or she also oversees a staff which is typically composed of five military physicians, five nurses, five physician assistants, three medics, three administrators and one IT Manager. The White House Physician is metaphorically the "shadow of the President"[5] because he or she is always close at hand whether the President is at the White House, overseas, on the campaign trail, or aboard presidential plane Air Force One.[5] The Physician to the President protects the president's health and may also perform emergency surgery.

The White House doctor is also responsible for providing comprehensive medical care to the members of the president's immediate family, the Vice President, and the Vice President's family. He or she may also provide medical care and attention to the more than 1.5 million visitors who tour the White House each year, as well as to international dignitaries and other guests of the President.

The medical office of the White House doctor is a "mini urgent-care center" containing a physician's office, private examination rooms, basic medications and medical supplies, and a crash cart for emergency resuscitation. Air Force One is equipped with emergency medical equipment, an operating table, and operating room lights installed at the center of the presidential plane for emergency use by the White House doctor,[5] but does not have an X-ray machine or medical laboratory equipment.[6]

Daniel Ruge, Ronald Reagan's first physician in the White House, resigned after the president's first term and called his job "vastly overrated, boring and not medically challenging." Ruge could not attend most state dinners due to lack of space. He nonetheless had to be ready for emergencies, and usually waited alone in his office wearing a tuxedo."


They could conceivably be afraid to allow him to examine Trump, but that's just pure speculation. Also would be interesting to know who owns these medical records, although I certainly imagine patient confidentiality laws apply to the president.

It was the result of an new teaching position and the stress and anxiety were unbelievable. My co-workers must have thought I was a drinker when it was job stress .The Fucking Moron must be having terrible stress (boo fucking hoo) He supposedly loves an atmosphere of stress and creates it in all his businesses. Now he is the one who is causing the US population sleepless nights, anxiety, poor eating habits, etc. He must be in his element...causing the havoc he craves and what his deplorable voted for. I hope he suffer a major nervous breakdown or a stroke on live TV before being carted off to the loony bin.

My grandmother and mother both had them. It changed their personalities quite a lot, affected their thought processes and there were a few small physical problems, like occasional slurred speech, hand/eye coordination. Some of trump's actions remind me of some of the things they did.

The problem with him is that he acts strangely all the time so you can never figure out if it is his physical health or his many personality disorders. One thing is sure...there is something seriously wrong with him and needs to be removed ASAP since he is dangerous to the country. His lawyers keep telling him that the Mueller Investigation is almost over (since they are afraid of him going ballistic) when he eventually finds out that it will be continuing throughout 2018.

My Mother had trouble holding things in the beginning.

My Mother would see people who were not there.

Hold conversations also.

That would explain alot with Trump.

We took her to the Dr. and she was put on meds.

She could no longer handle things so well.

We could not leave her alone.

She would answer the phone when nobody had called.

With that crazy diet, it wouldn't be a surprise. It can also make you goofy if you are out of range in your blood count.

The body tries to flush the sugar (glucose) out of your system.
Before I was diagnosed, I was drinking gallons of water and peeing all day/night.

With his uncontrolled diet, I can see how that would be the case.
Also I read he drinks 16 cokes a day.

16!

When I saw the title of your post I thought, maybe he is trying to hide the fact that he has Parkinson's Disease. Doesn't Parkinson's also affect your speech? How many times has Trump slured his speech? Parkinson's might also be the reason Trump sometimes seems sedated when he gives speeches. Maybe it is a side effect of the medicine he is taking.

As a result of Trump, there should be a law that every candidate for President has to get a physical from Walter Reed, or some other military hospital. After being elected the President should be required to get yearly physicals from a military hospital. The military hospital is to keep what happened with Trump in 2016 from happening in the future.

It is very possible that Trump and his family knew he was sick before he ran for President. That is likely why they had his doctor put out that silly one page report saying Donald Trump would be the healthiest President in United States history.
