    Biden nor trump have been diagnosed with dementia. Mental decline in both of them feels obvious, but suggesting either of them have a diagnosis that they never actually received isn’t cool

      They would never tell you if he was diagnosed. Do you believe he’s 220 pounds and a perfect model of health? Like his doctors report says.

      OK. They have symptoms characteristic of some kinds of dementia. They may not have progressed to the point where the diagnosis is clear, but the symptoms are still a serious concern. Reagan didn’t receive his diagnosis until after he left office, but those around him saw clear symptoms starting several years before that.

      Nah, they totally have a diagnosis, its just not public. These are people who were elected to the highest office in the country. They have the best doctors in the world following them around.
