Trump's nephew warns of dementia signs in the president: ‘I know the warning signs…'
In a stunning revelation, Fred Trump III, nephew of Donald Trump and son of Fred Trump Jr., has raised grave concerns about his uncle's mental health, citing a troubling history of dementia in the Trump family. He recently authored All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, a revealing memoir that delves into the complex dynamics, conflicts, and legacy of the Trump family. Fred Trump III has expressed serious concerns about Donald Trump's mental health.

He recalled that their grandfather, also the father of the president, suffered from Alzheimer's disease for eight years before he died in 1999. Fred emphasized that dementia has left a deep mark on their family and said recent signs in his uncle's behavior have stirred unease. Trump's nephew also drew parallels between the president's recent behavior and that of other relatives who battled dementia, including their cousin John Walters. He did not mince his words as he said, 'You know, Donald said, 'Oh, my father was tiptop until the end.' I can assure you, that was not the case. I know what I saw in my grandfather,' as reported by the Irish Star. He continued, 'I know what I saw in Donald's older sister, my aunt Maryanne, who in the end ... I am not a doctor, I don't pretend to be. I just, I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers." Fred added, 'But the things he's spewing and the craziness, and he just can't stick to a message. And he used to be able to stick to a message." His sister, Mary Trump, has also penned books on similar topics. Also Read: Is White House on fire today? Debunking viral post Talks of Trump's dementia mirror what happened with Biden The irony of Fred's remarks is underscored by the fact that Trump himself made cognitive fitness a central line of attack during his campaign against President Joe Biden, frequently accusing his opponent of mental decline. While polling consistently showed that voters were concerned about Biden's acuity, those same concerns have increasingly been mirrored in public discussions about Trump's own cognitive state, now amplified by members of his own family.

Ex-MSNBC Legal Analyst Has A Prediction For Trump, And It Involves 'The C-Word'
Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor and ex-MSNBC legal analyst, believes President Donald Trump and his Department of Justice will face criminal contempt charges over their defiance of U.S District Judge James E. Boasberg's orders to halt recent deportations. Trump invoked an 18th century wartime act last week to deport hundreds of immigrants to a prison in El Salvador, ignoring a verbal order from Boasberg. He has since called for the judge, whom the White House called a 'Democrat activist,' to be impeached. On 'The Dean Obeidallah Show' Thursday, Kirschner weighed the potential consequences. 'I was a prosecutor for 30 years,' he told the SiriusXM radio host. 'You don't write in pleadings or say in court, things like, 'Judge, we don't believe the information you're looking for is relevant.' Guess whose determination that is, sport? Not yours! The judge's!' 'We are going to see the C-word uttered very soon — contempt,' Kirschner continued. 'It will start as criminal contempt. It will very likely morph, it will start as civil contempt that will very likely morph into criminal contempt.' The openly defiant administration told Boasberg in a court filing Wednesday to be more 'respectful,' prompting the federal judge to give the administration 24 more hours to fulfill his demand for more information about their refusal to follow his initial order. The Justice Department characterized Boasberg's demand for information about the deportation flights as 'a picayune dispute over the micromanagement of immaterial factfinding,' as opposed to a potentially illegal defiance of a federal judge's order. 'I don't remember lawyers, in the times I practiced, telling judges, 'You don't know what you're talking about,' in writing!' Obeidallah, a former attorney, told Kirschner. 'And this is, I'm sure, [U.S. Attorney General] Pam Bondi doing this for Donald Trump.' On Friday, Trump claimed that he 'didn't sign' the document invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 that led to the deportations — and claimed 'other people handed it' — despite his name being readily visible at the bottom. The comment came less than a week after Trump baselessly claimed that his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, used an autopen during his time in office on numerous pardons that are now supposedly 'void.' Kirschner foresees things getting dicier for Trump. 'For the viewers at home, here's a fun fact,' he said Thursday. 'The only time a judge can appoint an independent prosecutor to prosecute a case, it is contempt of court for violating court orders. So hold on tight because the ride is going to get a whole lot bumpier.'
