At least one psychologist is convinced that President Donald Trump has dementia.
Dr. John Gartner told The Daily Beast Podcast’s Joanna Coles that he has observed a “major deterioration” in Trump’s language skills, motor skills, and impulse control. The former Johns Hopkins professor and co-host of the podcast Shrinking Trump explained how he arrived at a diagnosis of dementia for the president, telling The Daily Beast that doing so involves assessing someone’s against their own baseline.
“We have to see a major deterioration in functioning in language and thinking and psychomotor performance and impulse control and a whole variety of areas... what a lot of people don’t realize is that Donald Trump used to be a very articulate person.”
“He used to speak with a high level of vocabulary in very polished paragraphs. Now what we see is not only has his vocabulary gone down, but... there are times when he’s really unable to complete a thought. Sometimes he’s unable to complete a word,” Gartner continued.
Gartner also cited Trump’s tendency to go on tangents in the middle of his own sentences, using a tangent about Hannibal Lecter as an example.
“He was lying and saying that they’re sending all these immigrants from insane asylums, right? And then he goes, ‘Silence of the Lambs. Anyone seen Silence of the Lambs?’ Well, Silence of the Lambs is a movie about insane asylums. Okay, so now we’ve moved from immigrants to has anyone seen this movie?“
“And then he goes, ‘The late great Hannibal Lecter. Nobody likes to talk about him anymore.‘ Well, first of all, he’s not dead, he’s a fictional character, so he can’t be the late Hannibal Lecter,” Gartner explained.
Gartner went on to tell The Daily Beast Podcast that he believes Trump to be a malignant narcissist, which, when combined with the deterioration in his functioning, is a “worst case scenario”.
