Donald Trump dementia fears spike as doctor makes new dire claims
Donald Trump has been claimed to be in excellent health. However, in later years, worries about his well-being have been made several times. Just in the last months, claims about him possibly wearing a catheter, among other things, have been discussed – and now, a doctor has claimed the president shows signs of dementia.
Donald Trump is the oldest President of the United States to start a second term at the White House. But even though people have had their doubts about whether he’s fit to be in office or not, in April, White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella revealed a report that claimed Trump is fully fit to be Commander-in-Chief.
The report stated that Trump’s height and weight were 75 inches and 224 pounds and that scans of the eyes, ears, neck, throat, and heart were regular. Meanwhile, Barbabella shared that the president underwent a colonoscopy in 2024.
During that doctor’s visit, it was also revealed that Trump had a benign polyp and diverticulitis, an inflammation in the pockets of the colon. It was then decided that he would undergo a follow-up colonoscopy in three years.
Donald Trump’s medical report also revealed that he had several medications., including prescriptions for cholesterol, a cardiac prevention medicine, and a cream to use as needed for a “skin condition.”
Moreover, Barbabella noted that Trump had bilateral cataract surgery at some point, adding that the president is in “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.” He concluded that Trump’s “active lifestyle is helping his well-being.”
Donald Trump medical exam
“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Health of State,” Barbabella said in April.
Trump told reporters shortly after the exam, “I took a cognitive test. And I don’t know what to tell you, other than I got every answer right. I took just a lot of different tests, having to do with the heart, having to do with other things.”
While some questioned how authentic the latest medical evaluation Trump underwent was, one doctor now claims that Donald Trump might not be as healthy as he says he is. Per The Irish Star, psychologist Dr. John Gartner, a specialist, claims that Trump’s motor skills appear to be deteriorating.
Moreover, sightings of Trump possibly concealing a catheter under his pants could be an indicator that the President of the United States is battling a specific type of dementia known as frontotemporal dementia.
“When we talk about deterioration from dementia, I was focusing on language because that’s the thing we most observe, but also we always see deterioration in motor performance,” Dr. John Gartner said on The Dean Obeidallah Show, per the Irish Star.
Doctor claims Donald Trump might have dementia
The doctor further stated that there has been a noticeable decline in Donald Trump’s coordination in recent years. Moreover, Gartner looked at old footage of the President as part of outlining three key symptoms that could mean Trump is developing dementia: He tumbles and falls, swings his leg, and how his left leg is working.
“We found some of him doing athletic activities in the 80s. I have a film of him playing volleyball, diving to dig the ball and popping up and hitting a high shot, he was very coordinated,” he said. “And now, you know he really does have trouble getting up the stairs, he does trip and fall.”
“I hate to do a gotcha thing, ‘Oh he tripped on the stairs,’ but no, his gait is slow, he is falling,” he continued, observing that Donald Trump has quite an unusual way of walking.
“The other things that’s actually even more diagnostic, and I had a neurologist point this out and then several neurologists confirmed it, if you watch the way he walks, he has what they call a leg swing, where his right he kind of swings it in a semicircle like it’s a dead weight, and he’s just kind of swinging it around,” he continued.
“Absolutely convinced”
“It’s very apparent in some tape and not so much in others, but that right leg swing is considered to be very diagnostic of a specific type of dementia, frontotemporal dementia,” Gartner added.
The expert concluded that he had spoken with another colleague, Dr. Zoffman, who said she is “absolutely convinced that it’s frontotemporal dementia that he has because of that telltale right leg swing.”
Do you think Donald Trump is in excellent health or not? Please share your opinion in the comment section!
Hell no. You’re are dumber than I thought to even ask this question. I’m not a doctor but it doesn’t take a genius to see his inconsistencies of mind and body. You are obviously the people that put himn where he is. It’s not his fault IT”S YOURS.
It’s not all nightmare its good news
Nonsense! Clara Smith , Why didn’t you speak up when Biden was president ? It was vey obvious that Biden was in major cognitive decline. You need to have your head examined! You have TDS. And you are a worthless and unprincipled individual.
No. In my opinion Trumps health is failing. I agree with the dementia diagnosis. The way he slurs and mispronounced fairly normal words are a tale tell sign not to mention the shaky hand and his walk.
I also believe his cognitive abilities have been skewed enough to allow some of the most awful presidential decisions in US history. He is so much more easily swayed than he was his first term.
That’s just one woman’s opinion.
Yes he is very unhealthy and overweight..His speech makes no common sense and he losses his thoughts when speaking, in other words he all over the place… tRUMP has a lot of issues with his health and basically being a decent human being. He has no empathy for other people, he show signs of being a narcissistic sociopath!!
tRUMP has mental decline and is not fit to be in office of the Presidency!!! He needs to be removed immediately for the safety of this country!!!
If all of this is true , why has he been let run the greatest country in the world? As I see it something should be done about it. . He is making some radical changes that really effect a lot of people in this country.
I am 79 years old and fall a lot. Bad balance too. I don’t have the leg swing. But I am losing bone mass. He has dementia because he rambles and loses track of his talks. He is asked a question and sometimes talks about something else that isn’t related to the question asked. My wife had the same and more. No able to hold a glass with one hand, same as Trump. Saying I don’t know a lot. Reminds use he is smarter than anyone, why would he say I don’t know? Because he can’t remember things.
Certainly Not in excellent health. Verbal skills are markedly deteriorated in last yr. Incoming verbal processing is markedly deteriorated. When he cannot process, he divert & answers/ responds to a different issue to distract.
NO TRUMP IS IN VERY BAD HEALTH. HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AS PRESIDENT. HE’S SO FULL OF RAGE AND HATE. HE CAN’T COMPLETE A SENTENCE AND TALKS IN CIRCLES. SAYING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I see the signs as well, my mother had it, not a pretty sight..
Dear President Trump, Your performance as president has been outstanding! I read an article of frontal lobe dementia. Don’t believe it!!!!! I am not a doctor! I cannot diagnose!!! However for all my adult life I’ve studied health. I am 71 years young, and believe with all my heart you are going to be healthy! If you even see this which I doubt, I will leave you with a house number. 740 763 2097 It rings 10 times before the machine picks up. Please contact me for more information!! We need you to be at your best! God Bless you and your family! Rebecca Brown
