Presidential Debate and a President with Frontal Lobe Dementia

From The Last English Prince: 

At the 11 minute time stamp Biden mixes up the math twice and then corrects himself: “We have a thousand trillionaires in America… five hundred million dollars.” Trillionaires and millionaires are all really billionaires, Baby!

At 11:50, Biden begins to falter. He has a “tell”. He says, “Look.” This is what he always states, when he enters a confused fog. He is looking for the thought in his jellied brain which produces jams. Jake Tapper quickly rescued him before he finished his thought by curtly interrupting and saying, “Thank you”.

But the brain freeze, the gait, the slight gape in the mouth are not the real story. The real story is the pressured speech; what seems like racing thoughts. Anxiety… chemically-induced… or has the NSA wired his toes to give an electrical impulse to his poor ‘noggin.

What everyone missed? The Commander-in-Chief has FTD – Frontotemporal Dementia.

How do I know? I know, because I was a registered nurse in a Neuro ICU for several years. I cared for individuals with deep brain trauma and injuries.

Go to the 1 hour and two minute mark on the video. Listen for the next 27 minutes for the words “the idea that”. The fourth time, he says “the idea is that”. But also, during a one minute span of speaking he uses the phrase twice; which I find astounding. Be patient. Listen for it. How many times does he use this repetitive phrase in less than thirty minutes? 

Nobody addressed these things: the pressured speech, what seem like racing thoughts, and a POTUS with frontal lobe dementia. It is a sad day for our nation.

Here is a list of symptoms from the Mayo Clinic:

Speech and language symptoms

Some subtypes of frontotemporal dementia lead to changes in language ability or loss of speech. Subtypes include primary progressive aphasia, semantic dementia and progressive agrammatic aphasia, also known as progressive nonfluent aphasia.

These conditions can cause:

• Increasing trouble using and understanding written and spoken language. People with FTD may not be able to find the right word to use in speech.
• Trouble naming things. People with FTD may replace a specific word with a more general word, such as using "it" for pen.
• No longer knowing word meanings.
• Having hesitant speech that may sound telegraphic by using simple, two-word sentences.
• Making mistakes in sentence building.

Movement conditions

Rare subtypes of frontotemporal dementia cause movements similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Movement symptoms may include:

• Tremor.
• Rigidity.
• Muscle spasms or twitches.
• Poor coordination.
• Trouble swallowing.
• Muscle weakness.
• Inappropriate laughing or crying.
• Falls or trouble walking.
