Medical professor sounds alarm on Trump's "deterioration almost week over week" - LGBTQ Nation

"A medical professor and an expert in psychiatry is sounding the alarm about Donald Trump's quickening mental decline, saying that Trump's mind is going so fast that he can see signs of "deterioration almost week over week." "The rate of decline is accelerating." The British publication iNews has a long article about the mounting evidence that something is both physically and mentally wrong with the U.S. president, discussing the weird bruising on his hands, the medical tests whose purpose he can't explain, his excessive consumption of aspirin, his repeated cognitive evaluations, his increasing forgetfulness, and his public confusion."

""The main way to diagnose dementia is that we see a deterioration from someone's own baseline in these four areas: language, memory, behavior, and psychomotor performance," Dr. John Gartner, former professor at John Hopkins Medical School and a psychologist and psychiatrist, told iNews. "First of all, if you look at tapes of him in the 1980s, he was actually quite articulate. He was still a jerk... but he was speaking in polished paragraphs," Gartner said. "Now he has trouble completing a sentence, a thought, and sometimes even a word." "That's a huge deterioration from his baseline, and he also used to be quite physically coordinated, and now he can barely walk a straight line," he continued. "He's also showing signs of tangential speech. He goes from one topic to another in a way that's really just kind of a loose association.""

Mounting evidence indicates physical and mental problems in the U.S. president, including bruising on his hands, unexplained medical tests, excessive aspirin consumption, repeated cognitive evaluations, increasing forgetfulness, and public confusion. Diagnostic criteria for dementia rely on deterioration from an individual's baseline in language, memory, behavior, and psychomotor performance. Archival footage from the 1980s shows more polished speech and coordination compared with current difficulty completing sentences, tangential speech, and an increasingly unbalanced gait. Observations note an accelerating rate of decline, with changes observable week over week and growing signs of impaired psychomotor function and disorganized thought.
