Two psychologists are warning that President Donald Trump’s frequent confusion and mounting physical issues may be pointing to something more troubling than just aging. On their podcast Shrinking Trump, psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal argued that the 79-year-old president is showing both physical and linguistic symptoms of what they call “early dementia.”
Dude’s fallen asleep on duty several times before. Why the sudden debate?
Trump should be forced to do what he wanted Biden to do. Where’s all those cognitive tests now? What happened to all the concern about elderly presidents in the last 3 years? It was a #1 crisis when Biden was president and every yawn in public was dissected, but now that Trump is dozily walking around, suddenly age doesn’t matter.
Yeah, where are all the Enlightened Centrists now?
How many people will need to get shot in the neck till you realize they are hypocrites ?
Zero, but a few more won’t hurt.
Why are psychologists opining on a neurological disorder? Did they think they went to med school?
Daily Beast, stop publishing garbage.
Neuropsychologists have the ability to diagnose dementia in all states in America. They shouldn’t be doing it without a full evaluation.
“Early” ?!?!?
Yeah… As someone who has a lot of geriatric patients, even elderly people in good health can regularly doze off during certain parts of the day. Not sure how anyone could claim any cognitive decline at his age and weight could be considered early onset.
Tbh he is doing fairly well for his weight at that age, meaning he’s still alive. Which is baseline better than most 80 year old overweight and inactive men.
Imo I think he had a little stroke when he went up to Alaska to meet Putin. I think that’s why all his staff looked scared as shit during that trip, and why he’s been less active and traveling less since then. Long plane rides are pretty bad for people with peripheral edema, and clotting issues. Also explains the bruising on his hands, they got that dude stuffed to the gills with blood thinners.
I think it’s the good old : “A cheeseburger a day keeps the doctor away”
Keep those doctors away, except the ones RFKJ sends.
Haha I can find some witch doctors as well,
What do psychologists have to do with this?
Good point. They are not qualified. Psychology is not medicine, and it certainly is not science.
I was waiting for a plumber’s opinion on an old man falling asleep.
EARLY? He’s 79 years old.
Early dementia refers to the progression of the disease, he’s unlikely to die from it during this term.
As opposed to early onset dementia which is when a younger person than usual is diagnosed.
Dementia’s variable in its rate of progression, partially depending on its underlying cause, and partially due to other factors that aren’t understood. So it could be a fairly steady decline, or he could take a sudden turn for the worse. That’s especially true if it’s vascular dementia, since he closely fits the profile of someone who’s been having micro-strokes for a while, so dysfunction in the brain’s blood vessels is not unlikely to be happening too. Based on this, my guess is that it’ll be more a cascading crash-and-burn than slow rot for Pig Boy.
