Why would he tell anyone this? Like, what can be gained by letting this info out? If it ever got leaked, he could just say "wtf? Why you tripping an saying all that?" What good did he think could come of telling people about this?

I wonder if the Trump campaign is asking him to self-destruct because of the recent polling that his candidacy hurts Trump more than Biden.

A long shot theory but my only explanation as to why he’d say this.

It was in a divorce deposition from 2012.

Some media source got ahead of it, so he kind of had to acknowledge it.

Probably because it was going to leak either way, and they're trying to get in front of the story. Most healthcare info is protected by HIPAA, but that usually doesn't keep it out of the tabloids. And then the story is he was hiding the brain-worm.

Well, it seems to me that “cognitive problems” explains a lot about this guy, including him not the sense not to reveal that.
