From a safe distance, sitting in Dhaka, we can say that President Donald Trump is having trouble in collecting his thoughts and delivering them in a coherent way, as the most powerful man on earth should. His cognitive confusion is quite discernible and so his inability to coordinate and control his limbs. He is showing all the symptoms of dementia that he used to crudely accuse Joe Biden about. Trump’s rambling in serious meetings, long incoherent speeches, and changing the topic abruptly or forgetting the names of important people or behaving in most bizarre way during his visit to UK, all pointed at his failing physical and mental health.
Many US psychologists believe President Donald Trump is having problems with his mental health. After an elementary test he admitted that he found the test “very hard.” Those were elementary tests for elementary level students. American psychologists are saying loudly enough that Trump’s cognitive collapse is more clear than before. Donald Trump is exhibiting a “massive increase” in “clinical signs of dementia,” exacerbating the president’s “malignant narcissism,” a psychologist has warned.
Here is one story that sparked concern. In a meeting he began talking about electric vehicles, then switched to a story about an electrically powered boat. Here is what he said: “Let’s see your boat goes down, and I’m sitting on top of this big powerful battery, and the boat’s going down. Do I get electrocuted? You know what? Honestly, nobody’s ever asked me that question. But if I’m sitting down and that boat’s going down and I’m on top of a battery, and the water starts flooding in, I’m getting concerned. But then I look 10 yards to my left and there’s a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or a shark. You know what I’m going to take? Electrocution. I will take electrocution every single time.”
Trump described his rambling rhetoric as he is weaving together different topics and said his supporters get it. So, whatever he utters his supporters have no problem in deciphering the meaning.
Trump has been a bully since childhood. During the election debate on TV Trump kept interrupting Joe Biden, with triviality, and in exasperation Biden had to stop him by saying: “Would you shut up, man?” Before the election Joe Biden had commented that Trump is “the bully I knew my whole life,” And he told CNN in an interview. “He’s the bully I’ve always stood up to.” “This guy is the ‘divider-in-chief. I think the American public want a president with some dignity who has a value set who is actually trying to restore the soul of this country,” said Biden.
We have watched on TV how Donald Trump used to bully Joe Biden when he started to fumble and falter towards the end of his term in a most crude way. Now Trump himself is showing all those symptoms. Bullying everyone is not a healthy sign, especially for politicians who have to reach out to the common masses for vote during election time.
Here is a bit from the press: “Amid growing concerns over US President Donald Trump’s health, his deputy, JD Vance, believes he (Vance) is ready to take charge as America’s commander-in-chief in case of any “terrible tragedy.” The Vice President, however, reassured that Trump is in “good shape” to complete his four-year term in the White House. In an interview with USA Today, Vance recalled setting foot in the Oval Office for the first time in January and being “overwhelmed” by its “grandeur” and “incredible history.” Addressing concerns about the 79-year-old Trump’s health, Vance said, “The president is in incredibly good health…He’s got incredible energy.” Vance’s remarks came amid growing concerns about Trump’s health after a large bruise was seen on the president’s hand during his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.
Dr. John Gartner told The Daily Beast Podcast that the 79-year-old’s nonsensical speeches, repeated confusion, and frequent lapses in memory are flashing signs of his “immense cognitive decline.” The former Johns Hopkins professor said the president’s deterioration is only disinhibiting his “grandiosity” and “paranoia” and warned that, with the nuclear football in Trump’s possession, “It really would be impossible to overstate the grave risk that all of us are at right now.”
Gartner presented Trump’s address to top military brass last month as Exhibit One of how “disordered” the commander-in-chief’s thinking is, noting his similarity to dementia patients who “pick up on one concrete physical detail” and then “free-associate” away from the original topic.
