Donald Trump Health Update: Even as much effort the White House is trying to make in ensuring that the US President's health remains in "excellent health", things refuse to be that straight and this time it's his own niece talking. Mary Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump's brother Fred Trump Jr. has recently issued a stark new warning about her uncle's mental state. She believes that, "There are many red flags and many questions that are not being answered by the administration."
In a candid conversation on a well-known podcast, Donald Trump's niece Mary Trump revealed that she believes her uncle is showing the same trouble her grandfather, Fred Trump Sr. who once battled with Alzheimer's, "for a very, very long time."
Talking about her grandfather, Mary Trump told Joanna Coles, "There was a lot of bruising on his hands and he had some minor other health issues. My grandfather was one of the healthiest people I've ever known until he was well into his 70s. So, Donald is not a healthy person and he has never been. It does not surprise me that he would have physical symptoms that my grandfather didn't have."
When asked about her take on Donald Trump's health issues, she said, "There are times I look at him and I see my grandfather," pointing out similarities in symptoms. She continued, "I see the same look of confusion. He does not always seem to be oriented to time and place. His short-term memory is deteriorating. And obviously, this is somebody who has never had a great deal of impulse control, but that too is deteriorating."
According to Mary Trump, her grandfather Fred Trump Sr. was diagnosed with minor senile dementia in 1991. His doctor noted "obvious memory decline in recent years" accompanied by "significant memory impairment." Later, he passed away at age 93 after falling ill with pneumonia.
Interestingly, Donald Trump's niece further revealed that it was not only his grandfather who suffered cognitive impairment, as her grandmother Mary Anne Trump also had dementia.
