Dr. Vin Gupta, a medical analyst for MS NOW, laid out how Donald Trump is “exhibiting all the signs of dementia” just months after flagging a “trend line” suggesting the president’s cognitive abilities are declining.
“Erratic. Can’t finish sentences. Often confused. Illogical train of thought. Word finding difficulties,” Gupta wrote of Trump, whose social media threat against Iran on Easter Sunday caused critics across the political spectrum to declare that he has “gone insane” and gotten “completely, utterly unhinged.”
“Developing and worsening gradually over time. The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia,” Gupta wrote.
Concerns have been mounting over the president’s mental acuity and cognitive functions in recent years.
He has misspelled basic words, confused the names of places and people, promoted bizarre conspiracy theories such as one about Joe Biden being replaced with clones, and weirdly launched into a discussion about Sharpies in the middle of a recent Cabinet meeting.
Trump threatening Iran to “Open the Fuckin’ Strait” of Hormuz or have its civilian infrastructure bombed led lawmakers, former Trump officials, at least one ex-GOP congressman and Iranian embassies to call on Vice President JD Vance and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to declare Trump unfit for office.
Gupta, in an interview with MeidasTouch Network’s Ben Meiselas earlier this year, pointed to Trump’s concerning behavior as early warning signs of dementia.
Gupta — who cited the Trump family’s history with the disease — noted that while he didn’t have the president’s medical data, the scrutiny toward Trump is “fair” considering his “word-finding difficulties,” memory flubs, meandering speeches and trouble in putting a bow on a sentence.
