Psychologist: Trump’s Doctors Monitoring Dementia and Strokes
According to Dr. John Gartner, repeated cognitive tests and MRIs administered to Donald Trump suggest his doctors are monitoring the progression of a cognitive decline rather than initially assessing for dementia. Gartner’s assessment is based on the frequency of Trump’s cognitive assessments, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), along with the recent MRI. Trump’s bragging about acing the tests and his lack of knowledge about his recent MRI, combined with the White House’s denial of health issues, reinforces the impression that Trump’s cognitive status is under scrutiny. This monitoring is likely to measure the rate of his mental decline and identify any related strokes.
