As American citizens about to choose our next President, we need an answer to the following question: Is Donald Trump mentally fit to be the next President?

Could Trump's erratic, aggressive behavior, childish name-calling, late night tweeting sessions, and frequent gaffes be symptoms of the initial stages of Alzheimer's disease?

The Alzheimer’s Association tells us that if two of the following core mental functions seem impaired then it is time to seek medical help: Memory, communication and language, ability to focus and pay attention, reasoning and judgment, visual perception.

Alzheimer’s carries other symptoms besides memory loss including difficulty remembering newly learned information, disorientation, mood and behavior changes; deepening confusion about events, time and place; unfounded suspicions about family, friends and professional caregivers; more serious memory loss and behavior changes.

Last September, while speaking at a campaign rally in Buffalo, New York, Trump confused 9/11 with 7/11. He has attacked his political opponents with petty insults rather than engaging in meaningful debates and perpetuated unfounded conspiracy theories about the authenticity of President Obama's birth certificate and recently, claiming Obama secretly supports the terrorist group, Isis.

Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, suffered from Alzheimer's disease for over six years. No one knows the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease, but scientists do know that genes are involved.

At 70 years old, Trump would be the oldest President ever to take office next to Ronald Reagan who was 69 when he was elected. Ronald Reagan's son wrote that his father, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994, was already showing symptoms of the disease by his second term.

In his assessment of Donald Trump's health, Trump's personal physician claims that his "physical strength and stamina are extraordinary” but was his mental health evaluated?

Before we can confidently vote for any presidential candidate over 70 years of age, they need to be screened for the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Donald Trump should undergo the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Exam) and publicly release the results. It is our responsibility to make certain that our next President is physically and mentally fit to take office.

Please sign this petition and forward to as many potential voters as possible.

My father died from Alzheimer's. He was very good at covering up his symptoms in the first few years. Any President of the United States should be required to have both physical and mental health testing.

Alzheimer's would be the best explanation of what occurred on stage in his debates with Hilary Clinton. When a yuge event like 9/11/2001 is referred to as 7/11, something is definitely wrong.

I am concerned that Donald Trump has early stages of dementia. He thinks others are lying because he doesn't remember what he says. He has a vacant look in his eyes and can not comprehend that he has made statements though recorded. We do not want another sitting president with early stage alzheimers disease like Ronald Reagan.

Yes, after this year, I agree that all presidential candidates should undergo a mental screening for this and any other health issues.

The paranoia as well as many other personality characteristics he displays are symptoms of early- mod Alzheimers. My mother is in the late stages. Sadly I'm seeing the same behavior in Mr Trump that would indicate Alzheimers is a real possibility. Patients display changes in personality on average of 15 yrs before actual diagnosis.

Trump's responses during the interview with George Stephanopoulos on the ABC News program “This Week,” suggest that he shows early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, for example he claims that working hard creating jobs and is an example of sacrifice he made [comparable to losing son in combat ...]
