In all seriousness, my father has #dementia as well, and he no longer has any sense of time.
Things that happened DECADES ago just happened "recently" in his mind (like losing the 2020 election is for T****) and he obsesses about it (also like T****.)
He makes stuff up (not actually "lying") to fill in the gaps in his memory, and can be a quite paranoid (everybody is out to do him harm.)
There is NO question in my mind #OrangeJuliusCaesar has dementia.
