Fred Trump III, Donald Trump’s nephew, claimed during a recent interview with Dean Obeidallah that Trump is showing signs of dementia similar to the former president’s father and grandfather.
On Friday’s edition of The Dean Obeidallah Show, Trump spoke to Obeidallah about his uncle’s mental health and potential decline as a result of age and possibly dementia.
“I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers,” he said. “It runs in the family.”
OBEIDALLAH: You know, you wrote about, Donald’s father, your grandfather having dementia the last years of his life and that. Do you see anything? I’m going to ask you to be a doctor. Do you see anything in Donald now that reminds you of the grandfather during the times of dementia?
TRUMP: You know, Donald said, oh, my, my father was tiptop until the end. I can assure you that was not the case. Much like, you know, his making noise about crowd size again. You know, I was on a cable station on Thursday and I said, guess what? I was sitting two rows behind him at the inauguration. I know what I saw.
OBEIDALLAH: Right.
TRUMP: I know what I saw in my grandfather. I know what I saw in Donald’s older sister, my Aunt Maryanne, who in the end — thank you for saying I am not a doctor, I don’t pretend to be. I just, I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers. What it what it is.
Donald’s cousin, John Walters had dementia. It runs in the family. I’m not happy about it because guess what? I worry about it myself. You know, when I. Where’s my glasses? Oh, on the top of my head. Now, I don’t know. That may be half-heimers, but it runs in the family.
He looks older. And I get it. I mean, I’m not saying — anybody who is in that office looks different than when they come out. But the things he’s spewing and the craziness, and he just can’t stick to a message. And he used to be able to stick to a message.
Now, like in North Carolina yesterday, he had one goal. Talk about the economy. in a state again, he shouldn’t be at. He shouldn’t be spending millions of dollars. So he goes to play the old merry tunes of craziness. And he – you can tell his his base, while still amped up and dangerous, you can see them kind of chilling out a little bit on this, this, this play. It may be on its way to being played out. Not, not immediately. It’s going to be they’re going to be there for this election. There’s no doubt about it.
But I mean, you could see it in the faces of some people, like, why the hell am I here in Las Vegas? It’s 110 degrees out listening to, you know, sharks and electric batteries.
