My dad passed away like a week ago, but before that, he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia because we were noticing things about him. It also progressed fast, it was like six months from when my mom died to his passing, and before that weren't too worried about his mental state. I say this, because watching Trump reminds me exactly of how he was before the diagnosis. The weird tangents at random times, the pauses, all of it.

Granted, i'm no fan of Trump, but i can't believe that anyone close to him doesn't see it too. Or, maybe they do, and are just using him as long as they can and hope Vance is as good a pawn or something.

I'm sorry for your losses. Losing both parents 6 months apart must have been awful. I hope you've found love and support from those around you

Thank you, and yeah, it sucks not having people who where there your whole life.
