I think his dementia is more likely to end his campaign than death. His father lived to be 95, and his mother made it beyond 90 if I remember correctly.

David -- I agree, but I would give anything to have Mary Trump say what she KNOWS is happening. I'm sure there are levels of senility and/or dementia. I'm 89 and think my mind is clear, but every now and then I can't think of a word or someone's name . . .
You don't have any dementia. It's pretty normal at a much younger age to have trouble thinking of a name or a word. I have trouble fairly regularly with both, at 20 years younger than you, but I can discuss or argue issues quite competently, coming up with good observations, which I think is much more relevant to the state of the brain. Just the fact that you're frequenting a commentary like we get here is indicative of a working mind. My father had a stroke late in his life, and one of the symptoms of the damage to his mind was that he quit reading the NYT, which he'd been devoted to probably throughout his healthy adult life (he'd published op-eds there as well).
David -- thank you. Like your Dad, I, too, read the NYT every day (I live in Arizona) because I am a retired journalist and I appreciate good research and good writing.

But his dementia is looking worse every week.

I'm sure you're doing fine, Barbara! One must have an excellent brain to appreciate the NYT.
I think even with dementia he won’t drop out. Just a gut instinct.
Didn't stop Reagan from staying in office with dementia.
Mary Trump is going on an anti Trump information campaign around the US!
