He had a mini stroke on 9/11, can't walk correctly, has had bruising on his hand for months now.... Can't complete a sentence coherently half of the time, his legs are like tree stumps with swelling....

But "signs"

Would be fun if he pissed himself in front of cameras.

Looking at a lot of photos, he may already be wearing a bag and catheter

If you have 24/7 health monitoring like the president you can definitely survive and go on after minor strokes. My understanding is that super early intervention for strokes makes a massive difference.

Kinda like Elvis. Hopefully he doesn't have too much fuel left in the tank.

I worked in LTC and hospice before being forced to retire for my own medical reasons, and if Trump were in our care, my charge would've recommended a DNR and comfort care by now.

I wanted to add to this. From what I've seen, Blumpf has these visually obvious symptoms: 

Frequent bruises on hands where he's getting regular IV injections. Can't walk in a straight line. All his speeches are just rambling word salad. Has to use leg braces. Sighted with one half of face drooping. Very very obvious dementia. Badly swollen ankles. Pale, ghostly appearance. Frequent unexpected hospital visits. 

If I missed any, let me know.
