who was a Huntington victim/carrier?

i.e.,, where the hell did that come from?

BTW, symptoms start in 30s-50. He ought to be advanced (or dead) if that was the case.

Just like internet lawyers

IMO though it was all about his hair and the wind and rain.

His extreme "comb-forward" would've been exposed.

Wonder what happened to his maga hats?

He can't tolerate the prospect of photographers snapping his hairdo all messed up and his make-up running. Have you seen a close-up of his face lately? He ain't so young and pretty anymore. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

Does he actually think nobody notices fake hair and tan?

The next time he hollars "fake news" reporters should yell back "fake tan" or "fake hair".

His skin is terribly damaged. Note to self -- never do tanning salon. Always wear a sun block. I'm a very fair-skinned red head.

He was never pretty,even when young..

The ugly has always radiated from the inside out. And that mouth! Ugh!

As Dawn Davenport said in ‘Female Trouble:’ “Face it honey, it’s true. For fourteen, you don’t look so good.”

He was never young and pretty lol.

It's neuro, whatever it is.

is not a reasonable explanation for the reasons I pointed out earlier.

He could settle this with a physical exam.

Here's a link to the Wikipedia entry about Huntington's Disease:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington%27s_disease

Here's the relevant description:

Remember when he exited Air Force One and couldn't find his car?

There are many more examples of his stupid behavior.

The mild symptoms start in 30s-50 and become more pronounced overe 15-20 years until death. He is now in his 70s when in all likelihood he would be dead from it. He surely would not be manifesting MILD symptoms only.

Please STOP this ridiculous armchair diagnosis. Those of us with advanced medical knowledge know better than to do so for any but the most obvious diseases/syndromes. To grab on a rare inherited disease like Huntington's is ridiculous and only shows yourself to be seriously uninformed.

I've respected your posts for years, hithe2b, so I'll back off a bit.

When I read the OP then did a bit of reading from several sources since I was unaware of Huntington's.

However, Trump's father suffered from Alzheimers Disease. Isn't that hereditary?

Regardless, could you please explain why the OP is off-base.

Thank you, in advance.

though there appears to be an inherited factor that increases risk--much like colon cancer, for instance, given the right "environmental" factors.

If you wanted to play the odds, Parkinson's would be a far more likely explanation or the impact of certain medications, including past or current heavy amphetamine abuse.

From his public appearances, is there anything that a trained medical professional can observe that indicates if Trump has any problems?

his seeming confusion on many occasions, etc. have been commented on and neurologists have speculated.
The slurring, for instance could result from anything from a dry mouth, medication issue, to a displaced denture to an acute stroke (or mini strokes, including TIAs, otherwise known as transient ischemic attacks). His periodic confusion, lack of hand control and seeming worsening of mental acuity late afternoon and into the evening can be consistent with Parkinson's, "sundowning" effect of Alzheimers, and many other conditions.

One need only watch past video of trump from as little as 5-10 years ago to see a loss of verbal acuity and linguistic sophistication. Both might well signal some form of oncoming dementia, whether Alzheimer's or another form.

His last doctor's "testing" for signs of dementia was a ridiculous joke--quite meaningless and a total abuse of what and how those screening tests are meant to be peformed.

I'm not saying there is not something (potentially neurological) going on with him. Just to latch onto the rare hereditary disease, Huntington's makes no sense at all, given an absolute lack of family history and his own manifestation and age.

As a layman-- and a regular New York City guy-- for nearly 40 years, Trump has always struck me as someone who has some loose screws.

Plus, he's an asshole. And it seems to be getting worse.

As a musician, I don't have the professional perspective to identify his issues. Nonetheless, I'm educated enough to know that there is something obviously wrong with this man!

(Given a lot of psychiatrists seem to agree, I don't mind stating so).

Yes.. you are absolutely right that there is a lot wrong with him. Sadly, nothing much we can do...

(or Parkinson's)--neither is rare.

Just saying there might be signs of Alzheimers.

obvious he's suffering from severe cognitive decline. I wouldn't be surprised if he was advised not to go.

The way he's gone after the AA women reporters and Michelle Obama. Actually he pivoted away from directly attacking Michelle by viciously lying that Pres Obama weakened our military by under funding it (a lie as O funded it better in his first two years than trump has).

But you could see him consciously making the decision not to attack Michelle as he knew that was off limits when he went after Pres. O.

Maybe his cognitive function is a sundowning event as he seemingly is able to turn on the nastiness when he wants in early part of the day when he confronts the press. But then that doesn't explain his attacks against the Dems and the press at his evening rallies.

He thought there would be a parade just for him.

He'll get worse before this nightmare of nightmares is over

to the whole world that his mind is not functioning.

To my sorrow.

That would certainly explain the evident deterioration though!

Can I pick the disorder he deserves?

Personally, I subscribe to it Occam's Razor . .

They are about to indict Jr., the Dems now have the House, it's cold and raining and he really could not give a shit about a bunch of guys who got killed because they were not smart enough to have inherited a lot of money and bought their way out of dying in a war to prevent Russia from invading England.

Marijuana is becoming legal all over the place! Enjoy!

You don't want to be a stupid idiot like Trump!

Children of people with Huntington’s have a 50% chance of passing it on. He has 5 kids. At least one, more likely two would have it by now. (Too young to tell with Barron.)

All the other stuff you see is probably just untreated syphilis.

But jet lag does take it out of you. And he’s got dementia or something else going on.

They really act up when it's raining out.

he’d be severely disabled or dead by now, and his kids would have a 50:50 chance of it also. Used to take care of a few Huntington’s patients
