O\u2019Brien, a longtime Trump biographer, said during an MSNBC appearance that Trump is \u201chaunted\u201d by fears of suffering from the same cognitive deterioration that affected his father, Fred Trump Sr., who battled Alzheimer\u2019s for nearly a decade before his death in 1999.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"1137\"><strong data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"801\">O\u2019Brien pointed out noticeable signs of aging in Trump, who turns 79 in June, noting a stark contrast to his earlier years in office.<\/strong> \u201cThe speech is more slurred, the posture is slouched, the energy seems drained,\u201d O\u2019Brien observed, adding that Trump\u2019s pursuit of power may now be driven more by fear\u2014of fading influence or legal consequences\u2014than political ambition. \u201cHe\u2019d probably like to be president for 200 years,\u201d O\u2019Brien joked, \u201cbut aging is catching up to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1588\"><strong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1270\">The anxiety over cognitive decline is especially striking given Trump\u2019s frequent criticism of President Biden\u2019s mental fitness.<\/strong> Yet, O\u2019Brien and others argue that Trump\u2019s own behaviors\u2014rambling speeches, physical lethargy, and momentary confusion\u2014have become difficult to ignore. Even Trump\u2019s nephew, Fred C. Trump III, has expressed concerns, comparing the former president\u2019s recent changes to those of Fred Sr., calling them \u201ceerily familiar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1986\"><strong data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1742\">As Trump toys with the idea of extending his political career beyond two terms\u2014despite clear constitutional limits\u2014his health and legacy loom large.<\/strong> While the prospect of a third run remains uncertain, experts say the focus on his mental and physical decline could become a defining factor, forcing voters and allies alike to consider not just Trump\u2019s politics, but his vulnerability to time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump\u2019s aspirations for a third term have reignited not just legal debates\u2014but also concerns over his cognitive and physical decline, according to analysts.
