10. I believe Trump has heart failure, not dementia

Not trying to diagnose here, but heart failure can cause mental-health symptoms similar to dementia. I've been a caregiver for several patients in final stages of heart failure, and it can really take a toll, when the brain doesn't get enough blood.

His swollen ankles and rapid mental decline could be consistent with end-stage heart failure.

I have to stress that I'm an experienced caregiver, not a doctor, but I've seen enough heart failure patients in hospice to think that Trump might not be long for this world.

Sadly, he'll have the best health care, while stealing it from other Americans.
