Saw your video with Dr. Gupta and they seemed to be fair and fact based questions about a public figure who has medical issues all of us with eyes can see. It’s not the lies that Trump and company want us to believe. He’s not some 6’5 200 pound band who can run a marathon and lift 500 pounds. He’s an 80 man who has regular health issues consistent with individuals that age and a poor diet. His family also has a history of dementia and he is showing signs of that every time we see him. That’s again is not something you should be sued over, that’s just what is true.

So Meidas telling the truth about Trump’s cognitive problems is now actionable? Murdoch is full of it.

That wouldn’t be a bit surprising. Rupert married a new young wife who comes from Russia within the last few years.

Wow..........well, I can only say that a man of Murdoch's age marrying a woman much younger than himself (as he has consistently done over his entire life and 5 marriages.........oh gee, in all that there is only one common denominator) is nothing more than a social contract. He gets arm candy and she gets out of Russia. Hmmmmmm..................

R/O Dementia combined with a deteriorated prefrontal cortex and poorly perfused amygdala …and a lifetime penchant to evil is fortunately uncommon.

Trump and Rupert are anomalous indeed for the history of man’s earthly presence on this sacred planet.

Jen and pumps have one of the two most hard hitting political podcast in America. There are profound and factual, funny and entertaining. They are dissecting authoritarianism and fascism and stamping it out. They put Trump through a meat grinder and render him impotent, a man with no clothes, no humility and a container of garbage absent a soul. They are our American heroes. Thank you ladies!

I like the idea as well, however, the destruction seems somewhat incalculable. How we neatly define, delineate and measure the lasting harms from Trump himself, the MAGA cult and FOX News are complexly intertwined. We also don’t know how long this insanity will last, as the damages continue compounding over time. We might be able to compare the rise in viewership at Fox as it correlates to the rise in MAGA-ism and shift in voting patterns. Even that may not provide great data for meaningful or in-depth evaluation. Where are our expert social statistical study design experts?

What I suspect they’ll show is that Trump has frontotemporal dementia. Scientists specializing in cognitive disorders have viewed tapes of Trump’s appearances and gait while dancing, and they believe his leg movements are characteristic of someone with frontotemporal dementia.

This is hysterical. Donnie has repeated cognitive tests to check on his dementia, he has something seriously going on on his hand (not from shaking hands), he's been shown repeatedly falling asleep during meetings and events, he weaves when he walks, need I keep going? The man is declining mentally and physically. I mean seriously...he had an mri and doesn't know the reason? Yup, he's failing.

Here’s a really incisive diagnosis of Trump’s cognitive decline due to his malignant narcissism and progressive dementia … by one of America’s leading psychologists Dr. John Gartner …

Here’s a summary ChatGPT did of the transcript:

“Trump Will Not Make It to the End of This Term Compos Mentis”

By Dr. John Gartner, psychologist (October or November 2025)

Dr. John Gartner, a clinical psychologist and founder of the “Duty to Warn” movement, argues that Donald Trump is simultaneously suffering from malignant narcissism and progressive dementia—a combination he describes as uniquely dangerous in a head of state.

1. Malignant Narcissism — the foundational disorder

Gartner identifies four traits that define this extreme personality structure:

• Narcissism: grandiosity, entitlement, hypersensitivity to criticism.

• Psychopathy: habitual lying, rule-breaking, exploitation, and lack of remorse.

• Paranoia: constant perception of enemies and conspiracies.

• Sadism: emotional gratification in harming, humiliating, or destroying others.

Gartner warns that this clinical profile closely resembles the psychology originally used to explain historical dictators, including Hitler.

2. Clear signs of dementia — now rapidly worsening

What is new, and what Gartner calls “undeniable,” are the visible cognitive symptoms:

• Language collapse:

o Inability to finish sentences

o “Word salad,” frequent derailments

o Phonemic paraphasias — garbled, non-English word fragments (“South Cara … d … d … d”)

o Speech declining from 12th-grade to ~3rd-grade level

• Memory failures:

o Forgetting meetings

o Not recognizing Hakeem Jeffries, a congressional leader he meets regularly

o Confusing foreign leaders and countries (e.g., mixing up India and Pakistan)

• Disorientation and wandering:

o Getting lost during ceremonies (Japan), needing to be escorted

o Wandering away from vehicles, stages, and receiving lines

• Psychomotor deterioration:

o A “wide-based gait,” right-leg swing, and balance issues consistent with frontotemporal dementia.

Gartner notes that none of these symptoms are typical aging; they are pathological and progressive.

3. Medical clues: his own doctors appear alarmed

According to Gartner, the president’s medical team has secretly administered:

• multiple cognitive tests

• an MRI

• a “second annual physical,” which is impossible unless there were serious concerns

He emphasizes: “We never order a cognitive battery and an MRI unless we fear dementia.”

4. Dangerous decision-making: impulsive, erratic, and worsening

Examples cited by Gartner include:

• Canceling negotiations with Canada over a social-media clip by Ford

• Arbitrarily doubling China tariffs

• Confusing basic geopolitical facts

• Threatening reckless military actions while cognitively impaired

Dementia, he argues, magnifies the destructiveness of malignant narcissism:

“He is now the worst version of himself.”

5. A White House run by others

Gartner argues Trump’s decline has empowered extremist advisors such as:

• Stephen Miller (whom he calls “a Jewish Nazi” and the architect of an increasingly brutal immigration regime)

• Russell Vought (Project 2025 strategist)

As Trump’s cognition deteriorates, he babbles through events while others execute policy behind him—like a “Weekend at Bernie’s – White House,” but still dangerous because Trump can still issue impulsive orders.

6. Why speaking out matters

Gartner rejects the idea that clinicians must stay silent (the “Goldwater Rule”), arguing that psychologists are also mandatory reporters when a person poses a public danger.

He believes the nation is at risk and that silence would repeat historical mistakes made during the rise of previous authoritarian leaders.

7. Prognosis: rapid downward trajectory

Gartner concludes bluntly:

“Look at Donald Trump today, because this is the best version of Donald Trump you will ever see [going forward].”

Dementia is a one-way slide. His speech, memory, judgment, and physical stability will all worsen.

He does not believe Trump will remain cognitively competent through the end of his term.
