DAMMIT It's Not Alzheimer's! Here's Why It's A Far Worse Nightmare Scenario.
This explains a lot.The Gaslight Report by Frank George, Ph.D.
You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

...someone with a big audience pushed a post claiming Trump is on an Alzheimer’s-specific infusion drug, linking it to everything from bruises to sleepiness to “confusion.” Sadly, the post is spreading.

Trump’s symptoms are consistent with another, less common but more disruptive and, in his case horrific, disorder — Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). There are a couple of subtypes with important distinctions, but his changes in personality and behavior, along with specific language and physical problems, are consistent with FTD variants.

Brain regions impaired in FTD are the ones responsible for self-monitoring, impulse control, and reality-checking. The nerve cell damage caused by FTD leads to loss of function in these brain regions, and in bvFTD, the nerve cell loss is most prominent in areas that control conduct, judgment, empathy and foresight.
A key symptom found in FTD is confabulation. This is seen when a person creates confident, detailed fabrications that fill gaps without any awareness they’re false. As the brain’s frontal lobes and their networks degenerate, one effect is that a person’s ability to evaluate whether a memory is accurate weakens.
A result of confabulation, disturbing but true, is that Trump could likely “ace” a lie detector test (as opposed to a cognitive test) because he truly believes what he says.
