Clinicians are beginning to speak out: there is "overwhelming" evidence that Donald Trump is suffering from dementia.
Dr. Lance Dodes, a supervising analyst emeritus of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and retired Harvard Medical School professor: "Unlike normal aging, which is characterized by forgetting names or words, Trump repeatedly shows something very different: confusion about reality," repeatedly confusing former president Obama with the current president Biden and former governor Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Psychologist Suzanne Lachmann said Trump, 77, would "seemingly forget how the sentence began and invent something in the middle" resulting in "an incomprehensible word salad" — a behavior she argued is observed "frequently in patients who have dementia."
John Gartner, a psychologist and former professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, said Trump is "showing unmistakable signs strongly suggesting dementia."
Harry Segal, a senior lecturer in the Psychology Department at Cornell University and in the Psychiatry Department at Weill Cornell Medicine said: "Recently, several clinicians have noted the ways he has begun to mistake words, lose his train of thought, confuse Biden with Obama, particularly during long rallies held in the evening. There are examples of phonemic paraphasia – swapping parts of words for others that sound similar; these are signs of early dementia, even though they are intermittent."
Trump's father's mental status was in serious decline for at least seven years before his death from dementia.
Twenty-seven psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals concluded in "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" that Trump’s mental health posed a “clear and present danger” to the nation.
He's stolen some of the nation's top intelligence secrets and he's scrounging around for money from anyone who'll lend him a nickel.
The guy is a walking, word salad talking threat to the nation.
