WASHINGTON, D.C.: Donald Trump’s nephew Fred Trump III has claimed that the former president is showing 'warning signs' that hint at  dementia like his father and grandfather.

The author spoke with Dean Obeidallah on his ‘The Dean Obeidallah Show’ where he discussed his uncle’s mental health, as reported by MEDIAITE.



 

Trump’s nephew Fred says dementia ‘runs in the family’

He shared, “I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers. It runs in the family.”

When Obeidallah asked Fred, “Do you see anything in Donald now that reminds you of the grandfather during the times of dementia?”

He replied, “You know, Donald said, oh, my, my father was tip-top until the end. I can assure you that was not the case.”

“Much like, you know, his making noise about crowd size again. You know, I was on a cable station on Thursday and I said, guess what? I was sitting two rows behind him at the inauguration. I know what I saw,” the 61-year-old stated.

Fred Trump claims he even worries about himself

He then went on to explain, “I know what I saw in my grandfather. I know what I saw in Donald’s older sister, my Aunt Maryanne, who in the end — thank you for saying I am not a doctor, I don’t pretend to be.

“I just, I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers. What it what it is. Donald’s cousin, John Walters had dementia. It runs in the family.”

Fred says Donald Trump earlier ‘used to be able to stick to a message’

“I’m not happy about it because guess what? I worry about it myself. You know, when I. Where’s my glasses? Oh, on the top of my head. Now, I don’t know. That may be half-heimers, but it runs in the family,” Fred asserted.

The son of Fred Trump Jr, however, brought up Trump’s growing age as he noted, “He looks older. And I get it. I mean, I’m not saying — anybody who is in that office looks different than when they come out.

“But the things he’s spewing and the craziness, and he just can’t stick to a message. And he used to be able to stick to a message.”

“Now, like in North Carolina yesterday, he had one goal. Talk about the economy. in a state again, he shouldn’t be at. He shouldn’t be spending millions of dollars. So he goes to play the old merry tunes of craziness. And he – you can tell his base, while still amped up and dangerous, you can see them kind of chilling out a little bit on this, this, this play,” Fred added.
