Trump forgets name of Alzheimer disease during interview, denies having condition WASHINGTON (AFP) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to forget the name of Alzheimer’s disease while speaking with journalist Ben Terris, when asked about his own health. Trump laughed and said, “I don’t have that,” after the White House spokesperson supplied the word. The remark came as part of a longer conversation about his father Fred Trump and his own medical status. Trump also denied falling asleep during a recent Cabinet meeting and said he feels “like he did 40 years ago.” He added that his doctors, including former Obama‑era doctor James Jones, say there is no cause for concern. Mary Trump, the former president’s niece, told New York Magazine that she sees similar signs in her uncle, echoing the family history of Alzheimer’s. The episode was parodied on “The Daily Show,” which aired a clip of Trump sleeping at a press event. The story is reported by Reuters and other outlets.
