Donald Trump's Niece Claims President Has Dementia Like His Dad

Mary Trump believes her uncle is exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s disease.
Shane's comments come after the POUTUS' niece, Mary Trump, expressed her belief that her uncle is exhibiting the same signs she saw in her grandfather — who battled Alzheimer’s "for a very, very long time."
Appearing on the Sunday, November 16, episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast," the daughter of Donald's late older brother, Fred Trump Jr., shared, "There are times I look at him and I see my grandfather."
She continued, "I see that same look of confusion. I see that he does not always seem to be oriented to time and place. His short-term memory seems to be deteriorating."

'I see that same look of confusion,' Mary Trump said of the president.
Mary, 60, who stipulated that she's is "a clinical psychologist, not a neuropsychologist," added that she's noticed his impulse-control issues have been "deteriorating as well."
Mary is not the only family member to claim Donald has dementia.
In November 2024, Donald’s nephew, Fred C. Trump III, told People: "Like anyone else, I've seen his decline. But I see it in parallel with the way my grandfather's decline was. If anyone wants to believe that dementia did not run in the Trump family, it's just not true."

'I've seen his decline,' said the president's nephew.
Fred III also said he noticed signs of dementia in Donald's sister Maryanne Trump Barry before her death in November 2023.
Recalling an encounter that made him realize something was really wrong, he shared, "One of the last times I saw Maryanne, she said, 'You know, I've only met your wife Lisa once.’ And I was sort of taken aback by that... I said, 'Well, you've actually met Lisa hundreds of times over the almost 40 years that you've known her, as long as I have.'"
