At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting... what do they call it?" he pondered during the video. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt came to his rescue. "Alzheimer's," she chimed in. "Like an Alzheimer's thing," the president continued. "Well, I don't have it.""
"When asked if the disease is "something you think about at all," Trump was vehement in his denial, but once again struggled to sound coherent. "No, I don't think about it at all," he said. "You know why? Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever." Swirling questions about Trump's cognitive condition have clearly frustrated the 79-year-old.
