A psychologist warns that Donald Trump is exhibiting significant signs of cognitive decline, including nonsensical speeches, memory lapses, and confusion, indicating a “massive increase” in clinical signs of dementia. These symptoms are exacerbating Trump’s “malignant narcissism,” potentially leading to more irrational and destructive behaviors. The former Johns Hopkins professor presented Trump’s recent addresses as examples of disordered thinking, marked by disjointed thought processes and phonemic paraphasia. Gartner suggests that Trump’s condition poses a grave risk, especially considering his access to the “nuclear football”.

Trump’s Cognitive Collapse is Clear: Psychologist
The assertion that Donald Trump is experiencing a “massive increase” in clinical signs of dementia, as a psychologist has warned, is a sobering one. This assessment, painting a picture of escalating cognitive decline alongside his “malignant narcissism,” raises serious concerns about his fitness for any position of power, let alone the presidency. The implications are significant, especially considering the potential consequences of impaired judgment and decision-making when the “nuclear football” is involved. The thought of this man potentially making catastrophic decisions is undeniably frightening.
The repeated headlines echoing these concerns, while perhaps not new, are a constant reminder of the situation. The fact that many have been voicing these concerns for years, yet significant action remains elusive, is disheartening. The contrast between this precarious situation and the celebration of the nation’s history is stark and somewhat jarring. The potential for the 25th Amendment to be invoked is a critical consideration. The prospect of his cabinet, or the military, failing to intervene, even in the face of obvious cognitive decline, is a genuine cause for alarm.
The possibility of the President’s actions being normalized, regardless of their nature, is a troubling one. The potential for his decisions to negatively impact the majority of the population while a select few benefit, is a worrying scenario. There is a sense that action, whether through protest or voting, is required to influence the trajectory of events. Dr. John Gartner and others, like Dr. Harry Segal, have been vocal in their warnings, facing resistance and even media crackdowns for their insights. It’s clear to many that his behavior and fitness are questionable at best.
When considering an elected official or candidate, assessing their fitness is paramount. Asking the simple questions of whether you’d trust this individual with vulnerable loved ones or your personal finances is a useful test. If the answer is no, then serious reflection is needed. The core issue transcends any specific policies or political affiliations. The fundamental problem is a man with questionable competence wielding immense power. The potential for him to do irreparable harm is a genuine fear, and many can see the trajectory that things are headed.
While some debate the ethics of psychologists making public pronouncements without examining the subject, the evidence, to many, is plain to see. The discussion around potential cognitive decline has been ongoing for years. The questions are valid, even if the method of assessment is questionable to some. While some may disagree with the source or approach, the core issue is his capacity to govern effectively. The lack of transparency regarding the leader’s health is a concern.
There is a sense that, regardless of the diagnosis, the core problems are always there. It’s the combination of the man’s behavior and the immense power he holds that makes this a concerning situation. The warnings and assessments from professionals are important but the need for action is what many feel is needed. The comparison to the Targaryens is fitting – a leader with an iron fist, potentially delusional, and with a family history of problems. The overall picture, as disturbing as it is, seems to align with what many are observing.
