'Biden's brain is aging, Trump's is dementing': Experts analyze series of gaffes made by aging presidents in recent months - and reveal what it REALLY means for their health

Daily Mail  

Others said his change in gait could be an early sign of dementia One expert told DM.com that the way Trump speaks is 'concerning' Doctors have put forward a fascinating theory about why it is former President Donald Trump, rather than the incumbent Joe Biden, who is at the greatest risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Doctors have previously told DailyMail.com President Joe Biden should take dementia tests because of a pattern of confusion, mix ups and a damning report by Special Counsel Robert Hur that called him a 'well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory' One psychologist called the situation 'a tale of two brains,' claiming: 'Biden's brain is aging. While Biden may confuse names and dates, psychologist and senior lecturer at Cornell University Dr Harry Segal told DailyMail.com it is more concerning that Trump actually confuses people. Additionally, Dr Segal, who told DailyMail.com he has not treated Trump as a patient, said the ex president's verbal blunders are examples of phonemic paraphasia, the swapping of words for others that sound similar, which can also be an early sign of dementia.
