Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk, author of “Living in the Moment: Overcoming Challenges and Finding Moments of Joy in Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias,” finds Donald Trump’s repeated gaffes concerning. In an exclusive interview with Nicki Swift, the dementia expert noted that Trump’s errors have been so egregious that they can no longer be dismissed as mere slipups, especially when they include factual inaccuracies.
According to Landsverk, while an occasional lapse might be overlooked, the pattern of Trump’s mistakes has become worrying and may signal signs of dementia. His continuous missteps, including forgetting his location on the campaign trail, mistaking a photo of journalist E Jean Carroll with his ex-wife Marla Maples, and stating that Biden might start World War II, are “alarming.” Dr. Landsverk emphasized the gravity of committing such errors, especially for someone vying for the presidency. “For a president, the consequences of such mistakes can be serious,” she said.
It’s crucial to note that Landsverk is not diagnosing Trump. “I do think it’s important to call attention to the early signs of dementia that may require intervention with a medical professional,” she stated, considering that a common symptom of the condition is “not remembering important common details critical to your job.” But Trump is adamant that he’s still at his peak. “I feel like I’m about 35 years old,” he said at the New Hampshire rally. “I actually feel better now than I did 30 years ago. Tell me, is that crazy? I feel better now, and I think cognitively I’m better than I was 20 years ago.”
