Trump's Health: Frontotemporal Dementia or Smear Campaign?
At 79, Donald Trump has accumulated episodes of disorientation and incoherent speech that some doctors interpret as frontotemporal dementia. Claims that he now uses diapers have circulated in digital media but lack clinical confirmation. The debate is not merely medical: if Trump were incapacitated, JD Vance would assume the presidency, with economic and geopolitical implications.
Remote Diagnosis
A US physician with 40 years of geriatric experience has released a video diagnosing Trump with frontotemporal dementia based on public appearances. He notes that the president no longer holds afternoon events, sleeps more, and shows severe cognitive decline. The comparison with Joe Biden is inevitable: while the media establishment hid Biden's decline for years, every slip by Trump is now aired. However, no official medical report supports these claims.
Economic and Political Implications
The debate goes beyond the clinical. If Trump were incapacitated, Vice President JD Vance would take control, a scenario that worries markets due to his more radical profile. Meanwhile, the US economy grew by 4.4% in the last quarter, data cited by Trump supporters as proof of his capability. Critics, however, argue that growth can be decoupled from the leader's lucidity, citing the recent lost vote in Congress on ICE funding as a sign of weakness.
The end of the debate leaves an unknown: Trump's circle protects his image, but leaks from advisors and absences at public events fuel doubts. Meanwhile, the market awaits clear signals on succession.
