As his condition worsened, family members created a setup at the Trump Organization office in Brooklyn where he could continue going to work daily, sorting and signing blank pieces of paper to maintain the illusion of productivity and keep him calm. This "pretend office" arrangement lasted into his final years, allowing his routine while shielding him from agitation at home. Donald Trump's niece, Mary L. Trump, detailed in her book how her grandfather's dementia led to memory loss and disorientation, prompting such accommodations.
