Maybe they are all aware that he might be slipping down the same path as his father did, and they want to take advantage of it while they can.

(26,263 posts)My Mom was pretty extreme right wing, and as she got older she would never ever EVER admit she was wrong. (She probably would have loved Trump, although she really disliked Palin.) As she got older, her behavior got much worse and then she became paranoid and extremely defensive and would say the most bizarre things. A brain scan showed that she had suffered a number of 'mini strokes', and had definite signs of dementia/Alzheimer.
It is such an awful condition. We were fortunate that her condition moved rapidly. About 5 years from initial diagnosis, and only a few months of real debilitation. I don't think it ever hits any two people the same way.
Unfortunately, I doubt Trump would ever do any tests to see if there was a developing condition.
