Donald Trump is 'showing the same signs of Alzheimer's as his father,' his niece Mary Trump has claimed in a series of interviews in the United States this year. She suggests the president's public behaviour indicates possible memory impairment as he continues to play a dominant role in American politics. Speaking as both a family member and a clinical psychologist, she has compared what she observes in Trump to the symptoms that marked his father's final years in New York.
The claims emerged after days of online speculation about Donald Trump's health, prompted by reports that he had visited Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Easter Saturday. The White House has denied that any such hospital visit occurred, but the suggestion of an unplanned medical trip has reignited longstanding questions about Trump's fitness, his cognitive state and what the public is entitled to know.
