I rarely start a thread so forgive me if this is a Honda or I somehow mess up the formatting or any other goof.....
My wife brought the subject of DJT/syphilis up with me last week. She mentioned an article she had read via a FB link. Seeing as I loathe Facebook I listened to her and then shrugged it off. Yet I found myself curious.
This article attempts to address the possibility of neurosyphilis being the root cause of DJT's behavioral issues:
The New Republic, A Medical Theory for DJT's Bizarre Behavior, February 17, 2017

There are others but, they're less than reputable I suppose:
STDcheck, Does DJT Have Syphilis?, April 4, 2018, a blog
https://newrepublic.com/article/140702/medical-theory-donald-trumps-bizarre-behavior
Salon, Something Is Seriously Wrong With DJT, March 6, 2019, an opinion piece

And there is also this theory:
Breitbart, Chuck Lorre Claims DJT May Have Brain Damage, May 4, 2019
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/05/04/big-bang-theory-creator-chuck-lorre-claims-trump-has-brain-damage-untreated-syphilis/amp/
And, this one, in which the title is misleading:
The Atlantic, Is There Something Neurologically Wrong With DJT?, January 3, 2018
https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/548759/
I don't put any stock into the STDcheck or Salon pieces as they are partisan hack pieces. I don't find Lorre's theory credible either. I don't have an opinion on the Atlantic piece other than it raises other questions to consider about the role of government in ensuring a presidents mental health stability. I do think that it's within the realm of possibilities to suspect and speculate whether DJT is suffering from a neurological condition and possibly neurosyphilis specifically though.
I'm not looking to argue. Wondering if others have come across this as I hadn't until my wife brought it to my attention. Interested in others thoughts as I find it to be an interesting and plausible reason for his erratic and genuinely bizarre behavior.
