Donald Trump’s increasing number of rambling and nonsensical speeches has raised significant concerns regarding his mental health, with many experts suggesting that he may be losing his grip. Sources indicate that a thorough computer analysis, coupled with observations from mental health professionals, has identified potential dementia-related patterns in the speeches of the 78-year-old former president, which have become longer and more disjointed over time.
Originally characterized by false claims and repetitive phrases, Trump’s remarks have reportedly taken a darker and more erratic turn as he continues to campaign. His rally speeches today are almost double the length of those from 2016. Experts note an uptick in his use of extreme language, employing terms like “always” and “never” more frequently, which are sometimes interpreted as indicators of cognitive decline.
During a recent debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump appeared confused when he claimed that supporters were in the audience, despite there being none. Clinical psychologist Dr. Ben Michaelis pointed to this moment as a possible sign of “sundowning,” a phenomenon often associated with dementia. While Dr. Michaelis refrained from giving a formal diagnosis, he questioned Trump’s coherence and ability to maintain focus, particularly during late-night events.
Concerns have also been echoed by several former White House aides. Anthony Scaramucci, a past communications director, has observed a noticeable decline in Trump’s ability to articulate cohesive thoughts. Sarah Matthews, a former deputy press secretary, has similarly pointed out instances where Trump has seemed bewildered, hinting at diminishing cognitive functions.
In an ironic twist, Trump often dismisses his critics as “crazy,” even as questions about his mental acuity linger. Investigative journalist Bob Woodward has made claims in an upcoming book that Trump provided COVID tests to Vladimir Putin amid a national shortage in 2020 and maintained contact with the Russian leader multiple times before leaving the presidency. Trump has vehemently denied Woodward’s assertions, branding the journalist a “bad storyteller” and claiming he has “lost his marbles.”
Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, has supported this denial, denouncing Woodward’s book as trash suited only for discount book sales or worse. As the political landscape continues to evolve, the scrutiny of Trump’s mental fitness and communication skills seems far from over.
