Concerns Mount Over Trump's Cognitive Health Amid Lengthy, Rambling Speeches
Experts suggest signs of cognitive decline in Trump's recent public appearances, prompting calls for independent assessments.
- Mental health professionals and former allies have raised concerns about Donald Trump's cognitive abilities, citing his increasingly incoherent and lengthy speeches.
- Analyses show a significant increase in the duration and negativity of Trump's speeches, with a notable rise in the use of absolute terms and profanity.
- Experts suggest Trump's speech patterns, including frequent tangents and disjointed narratives, may indicate cognitive decline or disinhibition related to aging.
