Psychologist Dr. John Gartner told The Daily Beast Podcast he sees a massive rise in clinical signs of dementia in President Donald Trump, arguing worsening cognitive decline is intensifying his malignant narcissism. He cited wandering, nonsensical speeches, including a military address that digressed to "gorgeous paper," word errors he called phonemic paraphasia, and repeated mix-ups of countries and names, such as Iran/India and Hakeem Jeffries. Gartner warned the behavior poses grave risk with the nuclear football, predicting increasingly irrational decisions as Trump ages amid questions about his physical health.
