Donald Trump's Nephew Speaks On Family History Of Dementia And Notes 'Warning Signs'

Fred Trump III said dementia "runs in the family" and assessed his uncle's recent behavior.

Donald Trump’s nephew discussed the family’s history of dementia and possible signs of the condition in his uncle during an interview last week.

Fred Trump III, the son of Donald Trump’s late brother, Fred Trump Jr., wrote in his book about his grandfather’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Fred Trump Sr. died at 93 years old in 1999, eight years after he was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease.

During an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Dean Obeidallah Show,” Fred Trump III was asked if he sees anything in Donald Trump that reminds him of his grandfather during those years.

He suggested he could see some indicators based on his experiences, but noted he’s no medical expert.

“You know, Donald said, ‘Oh, my father was tiptop until the end.’ I can assure you, that was not the case,” he said.
