There’s no indication that Trump’s recent medical exam included a real cognitive test, said American psychiatrist Bandy Lee in an interview with The Insider:
Dr. Lee taught for 17 years at the Yale School of Medicine, authored a textbook on violence prevention, worked on U.S. prison reform, and served as a UN consultant on countering violence against children.

In 2024, the World Mental Health Coalition, which Dr. Lee chairs, issued a statement signed by fifty prominent forensic psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and dementia experts.
The manifesto, published on Nov. 3, 2024 and titled “Statement on Cognitive Decline in the Presidential Election,” lists the symptoms of Trump’s deterioration: simpler vocabulary, incomplete and incoherent sentences, grammatical mistakes and paraphasias (a speech disorder in which people substitute, rearrange, or distort words), inappropriate or vague statements that lack connection to reality, and “perseveration” — the compulsive repetition of the same thoughts or ideas regardless of context. The statement also notes his growing use of profanity and hate speech, as well as increasingly pronounced signs of “grandiose” narcissism.
