Ben Terris, writing for New York Magazine:
Fred Trump died in 1999 at age 93. He had, Trump said, a “heart
that couldn’t be stopped” with almost no health conditions to
speak of throughout his long life. “He had one problem,” Trump
said. “At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting, what do
they call it?” He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press
secretary for the word that escaped him.“Alzheimer’s,” Leavitt said.
“Like an Alzheimer’s thing,” Trump said. “Well, I don’t have it.”
“Is it something you think about at all?” I asked.
“No, I don’t think about it at all. You know why?” he said.
“Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever.”
