I absolutely can’t stand this man.

But to see that was sad.

Hopefully someone in his family can reason with him.
Unfortunately, the more senile you get ..the more you get hostile and dont want to acknowledge it.

His staff has to cover for him.

His staff has to cover for him.

It's a pretty sweet deal to be in charge of one of these droolers. As these senile hacks lose their abilities their staffs' powers grow until they are the power - deciding what the old farts say and do and how they vote. Even better for them, they have all the power and none of the repercussions. I bet it's a real money making opportunity for them to be in too.

Speaking from personal experience, often the person with dementia does not believe there is anything wrong. For famous / powerful / rich people, the family is actually at a disadvantage as the person has believed in their super power too long. They cannot reason. It’s not “won’t listen,” really. It’s CANNOT. Reason has left the building. And they can fool people. With extra effort they can appear normal for short times when they really try.
