Inappropriate speech is a common symptom of Alzheimer's dementia.

Donald Trump often speaks with inappropriate words in casual conversation. Yesterday, for example, he told one Puerto Rican to "have a good time." He also referred to the Las Vegas shooting as a "miracle." In speaking about the damage Hurricane Maria left behind in Puerto Rico, he referred to Hurricane Katrina as a "real disaster," when comparing it to the impact of Puerto Rico's damage from Maria.

Those examples, and many other recent ones, are inappropriate word choices, used rather casually. Although the intent may have been OK, what came out of Trump's mouth was not what most people would choose to say. A victim of Maria, is NOT going to "have a good time." Nobody considers the Las Vegas shooting to be a "miracle," and Puerto Rico has certainly experienced a "real disaster."

Nobody who was thinking clearly would use those expressions in those situations. They are commonly spoken platitudes and expressions, but ones that that do not fit the circumstances.

I've seen this phenomenon many times when around people with Alzheimer's disease, and I've been around several such people in recent years from my own family. They say something with good intentions, but the words are not appropriate for the situation.

Donald Trump does the same thing, and perhaps for the same reason.
