Overview
- Following Sunday’s expletive-laden Truth Social warning to Iran, MS NOW analyst Dr. Vin Gupta said the president is showing “all the signs of dementia.”
- Gupta listed erratic behavior, trouble finishing sentences, confusion, illogical thinking, and word-finding problems, and he said the pattern is getting worse over time.
- In Tuesday coverage, psychologist John Gartner told The Daily Beast that Trump has shown signs of frontotemporal dementia since 2019 and that his decline has quickened in the past four weeks.
- Calls to examine or invoke the 25th Amendment grew after the post, with figures including Sen. Chris Murphy and Rep. Yassamin Ansari urging action and former Trump aides echoing them.
- The White House rapid response team denied hospitalization rumors and said the president “never stops working,” and no formal medical evaluation or diagnosis has been released.
