Dead, comatose, incarcerated, in exile... I don't really care. I just want him GONE.

In October 1991, Trump was diagnosed with "mild senile dementia", displaying symptoms such as forgetfulness.[109]
Fred was born in 1905, was diagnosed in 1991, and really started suffering from Alzheimers in 1993 so it started at about 86.
Trump began to suffer from Alzheimer's disease around 1993,[10] by which time the anticipated shares of Trump's estate amounted to $35 million for each surviving child.[90][114] In 1997, Trump transferred ownership of most of his apartment buildings, valued at just $41.4 million, to his four surviving children.[1] Trump finally fell ill with pneumonia in mid-1999.[10] He was admitted to Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, where he died at age 93 on June 25.[115] His funeral was held at the Marble Collegiate Church,[115] and was attended by over 600 people.[116] His body is buried in a family plot at the Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens.[118][v] Upon his death, Trump's estate was estimated by his family at $250 million to $300 million,[10] though he had only $1.9 million in cash.[120] His will divided over $20 million after taxes among his surviving children and grandchildren.[90][111] His widow, Mary, died on August 7, 2000, in New Hyde Park, New York, at age 88.[102] Her and Fred's combined estate was then valued at $51.8 million.[120]
Following Trump's death, Fred Jr.'s children contested his will, citing his dementia and claiming that the will was "procured by fraud and undue influence" by Donald, Maryanne, and Robert Trump.[111][110] These three had claimed in their legal depositions that Fred Trump was "sharp as a tack" until just before his death,[121] with Donald specifically denying any knowledge of his father's mental decline, including his 1991 dementia diagnosis.[109] Barry later privately admitted she knew her father had dementia at the time.[109] Mary L. Trump recounts that in later years her grandfather forgot people he had known for decades, including her, whom he referred to as "nice lady".[122] In 2020, she sued Donald, Maryanne, and the estate of Robert Trump for having allegedly conspired to both devalue her inheritance from her grandfather and coerce her to sign a settlement, possibly depriving her of tens of millions of dollars.[123]

(25,477 posts)The GOP wouldn't make the same mistake twice. The only reason he won was because there were too many people in the race for too long. They'd pick one, rally behind that person, and Trump wouldn't have a chance.

(25,477 posts)They just have to pick one horse and ride it.
He can only win if others split the non-Trump vote multiple ways. If they'd rallied behind one candidate earlier in the process (similar to what happened with Biden on the Dem side), no Trump.

(51,626 posts)She was on the local news last night from DC and she said she supports impeachment. Since she is new I gave her encouragement to go through with impeachment ASAP and I hope she isn't just all words but takes action. Call or write you senator and congressman/woman. Push them to follow this course.
