Donald Trump’s Family Member Confirms Dementia Rumors—Claims He’s ‘Weaker Than Ever’
Speculation that Donald Trump might have dementia has started up again, and this time it’s coming from someone in his own family. Mary Trump, his niece, who has often criticized him in the past, is now raising concerns about his health. She claims her uncle is “weaker than ever” and says he often seems confused, as if he doesn’t even know where he is.
For a long time, people have been wondering if the former president is showing signs of mental decline. Many experts have shared their opinions, with some agreeing that there are worrying signs. Trump, who is now 79 years old, holds the record as the oldest person ever to be inaugurated as U.S. president, and this has added to people’s concerns about his health.
Mary Trump has been vocal recently, describing her uncle as a “feckless old man” and calling his behavior “erratic” and “unserious.” She also claims that while Trump struggles, his aides are ignoring him, and trust in the U.S. around the world is falling apart.
On social media, many people are sharing their own worries, saying they believe Trump’s behavior points to a serious mental decline. One user wrote that Trump’s constant flip-flopping on policies has become so extreme and chaotic that it seems like he’s no longer in control.
Dr. John Gartner, a psychologist and former professor at Johns Hopkins, recently analyzed Trump’s public behavior. He made a shocking comparison, saying the White House could soon look like a scene from the comedy film Weekend at Bernie’s, where staff might have to push Trump around just to keep up appearances. Dr. Gartner predicted that what seems absurd now could soon turn into a full-blown tragedy.
The psychologist also compared old videos of Trump from the 1980s to his more recent speeches, pointing out a sharp difference. He explained that dementia often affects a person’s baseline abilities, and one of the easiest places to notice it is in how they speak.
According to Dr. Gartner, Trump used to speak clearly and smoothly, forming well-organized sentences, but now struggles to do so. He believes Trump shows signs of a condition called phonemic paraphasia, where someone forgets words and replaces them with made-up or simpler words that sound similar.
In short, the growing concern is that Trump’s mental health is declining more noticeably, and both his critics and experts are warning that it may only get worse from here.
