Donald Trump’s tiredness, recent MRI and hand bruise suggest he may be taking medication to treat Alzheimer’s disease, according to a “curious” California Democrat.
Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., tweeted that Trump is showing signs he’s taking the Alzheimer’s disease drug Leqembi.
“The Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi:- Is administered through an infusion (for example, through the hand)- Can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain, requiring regular MRIs- Can cause tiredness,” Kamlager-Dove tweeted along with a picture of Trump’s hand bruise. “Curious.”
From what I remember it wasn’t even proven this drug works. There were some data suggesting it might have some positive effects and since there is no known treatment for Alzheimer’s it was approved to “give patients a chance”.
I work with the Alzheimer’s drugs somewhat frequently, and there are ~15 patients I know of on Leqembi specifically. It’s not meant to reverse or stop anything, but rather slow progression – which for Alzheimer’s can be a miracle. You’re not going to get on the med or even be evaluated for Alzheimer’s unless you’re showing some deficits though, and you absolutely need evidence of plaque build-up.
Yes but I though even evidence that it’s slowing anything down was at best very weak?
Also, is there any medicine that makes the patients look more awake/cheerful? It looks like Trump is sleepy and irritated almost all the time but then he suddenly becomes very active and his mood improves like during the Mamdani meeting.
That’s the power of true love my friend.
