'In that family they have a history of dementia': Analyst flags signs of Trump's decline

As part of a discussion about rumors of Donald Trump’s decline that flooded social media on Labor Day weekend, lawyer and podcaster Dean Obeidallah suggested there should be very real worries about the president's health after speaking with members of his family.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Ali Velshi, the commentator explained the most recent information about Trump’s health has come from Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), whose medical license has expired and whose judgment has long been questioned.

“The reason that Ronny Jackson wrote the letter and not Trump's doctor? Because Trump's doctor didn't want to put his medical license on the line to lie to the public there,” he told the host. “So you have Ronny Jackson, who's not Trump's doctor, saying these things, that he's fine.”

“Look, Donald Trump is getting worse by the day,” he continued. “We see there's moments he's lucid and there's moments he's not. And as time goes on, the moments of incompetence and confusion will eclipse the moments of lucidity –– that's part of aging.”

“You know, I talked to Mary Trump and her brother as well, who both talked about in that family they have a history of dementia,” he elaborated. “Donald Trump's dad had it, his older sister had it and there's doctors I've spoken to like from Duty to Warn who talked about even Trump's gait has changed, which, while they haven't examined him, is consistent with a form of dementia. So this needs to be examined more.”
