How do we know. He is angrily denying something nobody said he had.
Trump has privately groused to friends, family, and aides that New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman accused him of having Parkinsons disease this summer, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter. Those sources say that the president has been stewing about this for nearly three months, and he still hasnt let it go, bringing it up in the West Wing as recently as last week, one of these sources said.
Haberman, however, hasnt accused Trump of having Parkinsons. In June, she wrote a Times story about how President Trump faced new questions about his health after videos emerged of him gingerly walking down a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and having trouble bringing a glass of water to his mouth during a speech there. The word Parkinsons does not appear in the article, but in Trumps mind, that has somehow translated to Haberman tagging him with the degenerative disorder.

I say this from the vantage point of having absolutely no expertise on the subject.

(15,751 posts)stomach distress is often linked to anxiety issues.
Applying this perspective to trump's possible Parkinson's disease - Parkinson's is linked to 'fear and an intense desire to control everything and everyone.' - Hay - 'Heal Your Body'. ['The Mental Causes For Physical Illness].
[Sure fits trump's Parkinson's and fanatic control issues to a 'T'].

(1,000 posts)that he has Syphilis. well it's just a guess really. but maybe if we all start saying it?

(9,886 posts)for him to have syphilis, that is totally treatable nowadays. If he has anything, it's something that can be somewhat controlled but not treated.

(11,884 posts)Parkinson's with dementia with Lewy body disease. It would explain his memory lapses , his mood swings, and problems displayed. It may also be causing mini strokes and delusions and delusional thinking that he's been showing . His mental stability is getting much worse before our eyes daily.

(2,338 posts)...can be different for everyone. Early signs may be mild and go unnoticed. Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side, even after symptoms begin to affect both sides.
Parkinson's signs and symptoms may include:
Tremor. A tremor, or shaking, usually begins in a limb, often your hand or fingers. You may rub your thumb and forefinger back and forth, known as a pill-rolling tremor. Your hand may tremble when it's at rest.
Slowed movement (bradykinesia). Over time, Parkinson's disease may slow your movement, making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming. Your steps may become shorter when you walk. It may be difficult to get out of a chair. You may drag your feet as you try to walk.
Rigid muscles. Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body. The stiff muscles can be painful and limit your range of motion.
Impaired posture and balance. Your posture may become stooped, or Parkinson's disease.
Loss of automatic movements. You may have a decreased ability to perform unconscious movements, including blinking, smiling or swinging your arms when you walk.
Speech changes. You may speak softly, quickly, slur or hesitate before talking. Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than have the usual inflections.
Writing changes. It may become hard to write, and your writing may appear small.
