Dementia also, Things get mixed up, stories are told out of context, elements of three different stories get compiled into one, proper vocabulary use gets jumbled. But no matter how mixed up it gets from reality, there is absolutely no way they can be wrong in their own mind. From watching Biden I have noticed a lot of similar signs to what happened to my Dad as his dementia began and advanced. And it wasn’t slow either, within a year and a half it advanced to full blown dementia.

This is very true. I've worked in three nursing homes and have seen this, it's heartbreaking. One curious thing though is I've talked with a number of WW2 vets in the places I worked. Most of them couldn't tell you what they had for breakfast but they can tell you down to exact detail what their combat experiences were like. Severe trauma can imprint itself on the brains with clarity.
