Trump.

Yep, Trump.

I have seen zero evidence that Prince Philip has Alzheimer's disease. He goes out and about just fine, and attends the events that he chooses.

Gene Hackman

This might sound strange, but I really hope Trump does not have Alzheimer's.

My reasoning is simple, if not selfish: my mother was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's a few years ago. I'd hate, many years from now, to think back on the time both my mother and a piece of human excrement were afflicted with the same disease.

You have a very valid point R6. You wouldn't want to look back and make that association. Unless Trump is in complete denial, to be hated by so many people, will take its toll on him. I hope he remains alert to that fact to the day he eventually takes his last gasp of air.

I’m sorry Americans but Trump doesn’t have Alzheimer’s, he’s just an awful person. He doesn’t have the excuse of “he didn’t know what he was doing”. Everything he does, he goes on purpose.

Has jack been confirmed?

Early stages, but... Bill Clinton. His behaviors on stage at Hillary's Democratic Convention, wandering open-mouthed and empty-eyed, agog at the balloons, were disconcerting.

Sandra Day O'Connor

I knew this was going to be a Trump thread form the beginning. The treason gals will be reinvigorated for a few more days.

Gene Hackman is photographed out and about regularly and there's no evidence hr has Alzheimer's.

I didn't know about Connery but apparently Michael Caine has said something about it publicly.

Johnny Crawford, little Mark McCain from The Rifleman. I met him several years ago and he seemed fine, and it was reported on his social media page that he now has Alzheimer’s. Surprisingly, he was at a recent western convention that I attended but his wife and brother were there to attend to him. Such a nice man, but he no longer remembers much. There’s a Go Fund Me set up...

I don't remember.

Helen Lawson?

I heard Jane Fonda has beginnings of dementia, can't remember her lines, and that she wears a hearing aid?

Babawa Walters, clearly. The last few videos she made before she became a recluse she was mumbling and her eyes wouldn't focus

Liza!

R2 you have it reversed. Alzheimer's is a form of dementia. Other forms of dementia include Lewy Body and vascular dementia.

And yes, Barbara Walters has dementia. She dated the king of geriatric psychiatrists for awhile and she started to manifest symptoms then. Wonder what he told her about her future?

Baba Wawa shits her diapers nowadays.

Baba Wawa throws said shit at the tv when The View comes on

Oprah is Baba Wawa's only visitor but Baba Wawa think's she's the help and orders her to wipe her arse

I bet Liza has Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome,

R18 any links?

Somebody get Liza some thiamine, STAT!

I hope Betty White is okay

Oh ffs R17, she’s well into her seventies, memory and ears not as sharp as they used to be is not proof of Alzheimer’s.

^^^ I think that was meant to be read as 3 different ailments. FFS. And she's 81

Well if she’s 81 it’s even less surprising that her memory and hearing aren’t razor sharp. And the implication of the poster was clearly that these are signs of Alzheimer’s , the subject of this thread.

[quote]Baba Wawa throws said shit at the tv when The View comes on

well, who doesn't?

Why do we have to watch our loved ones go through this? I’ve seen quite a few excellent people reduced to nothing by these diseases. If I ever get to that point, I’d want to be put to sleep the way we do for our pets. Just euthanize me.

I guess it’s a slippery slope.

"Unless Trump is in complete denial, to be hated by so many people, will take its toll on him. "

You must not be a New Yorker. Donald has been hated and laughed at for DECADES and knows it - he thrives on it, he defines himself by it. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Prunella Scales (Sybil Fawlty, Elizabeth Mapp) has had memory problems since 2013 and Alzheimer's since 2014. From her IMDB biography:

[quote]In January 2013, she revealed that she had begun to suffer from short term memory loss and was unable to remember the years in which her sons were born or the year she married her husband, Timothy West. In March 2014, West announced that his wife was suffering from mild Alzheimer's disease, however, by August 2015, her condition had worsened to the point where she could no longer remember any details about their wedding or their married life together.

Kirk Douglas

Nichelle Nichols

Glynis Johns

I read of Prunella in the DM, r36. Very sad. But we'll always have the tart-tongued sassy Sybil Fawlty!

Barbara Windsor

Cloris Leachman

R10 I'd have Alzheimer's too if I was married to Hillary Clinton

Here is a more appropriate article in relation to Barbara Windsor - so very sad.....

Reportedly, Joanne Woodward, who according to this Audi commercial was working with Alzheimer's patients as long ago as 1988.

on-j

Regarding Trump, dementia isn't necessarily forgetfulness. The signs for him are the word salad, incoherent rambling, penmanship, etc. I'm currently going through it with my mom, similar characteristics between the two. Of course if I told my mom I thought he had dementia, she'd get mad that she'd have anything in common with him.

I remember seeing Trump all the time on NYC TV in the '80s and '90s and even though he was a blowhard and bullshitter, he didn't ramble and wasn't belligerent like he is now.

R10 Bill Clinton is definitely showing signs of some kind or memory thing. I noticed the balloon thing at the convention too.

I don’t think Dump has a memory thing, I think the adderall is rotting his piss soaked brain.

A Canadian celebrity, the lead singer of the band Spirit of the West just died of early-onset Alzheimer's, he was 57.

Kris Kristofferson

It was on the tip of my tongue...

You and me both R34.

The headline is misleading in that

they cannot absolutely know if someone had ALZHEIMER'S until they are autopsied.
