When someone entrusted with unimaginable power starts losing control of their faculties, it’s not just tragic — it’s dangerous. Psychologist John D. Gartner warns that Trump is showing signs of “major deterioration in language, motor skills, impulse control… we have to see a major deterioration in functioning in language and thinking and psychomotor performance.” The Daily Beast & The Guardian According to Gartner, the man who once spoke in polished paragraphs is now “unable to complete a thought” and exhibiting phonemic and semantic paraphrasias — hallmark traits of cognitive collapse. The Guardian & MindSite News Here’s the video link in which Gartner outlines these concerns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OtO-cypKmY "Malignant narcissism. Psychopathy. Paranoia. Sadism. Dementia. Cognitive decline. A battery of cognitive tests. MRIs. Showing gross deterioration from the baseline in language, behavior, psychomotor performance. Erratically impulsive. Phonemic paraphasia." -- Psychologist Dr John Gartner via Times Radio (this is just from the first 5 minutes of the interview) What are the consequences of this decline? A leader who can’t reliably speak, think, or respond coherently undermines every institution that rests on competence. A man who’s losing the ability to plan, to sustain thought, to inhibit impulses is still in control of the military, diplomacy and nuclear codes. Gartner says: “It really would be impossible to overstate the grave risk that all of us are at right now.” The Daily Beast The decline isn’t a matter of grey hair. It’s not “just aging.” It is an erosion of faculties, of baseline performance, of what once allowed the public to trust a leader to perform. MindSite News We are not being hyperbolic when we say: cognitive decline isn’t a legal technicality. It’s a crisis. A democracy built on one person’s deteriorating mind is a democracy in peril. We need transparent medical disclosures for anyone seeking or wielding ultimate power. We need oversight, independent assessment, and public accountability — not obfuscation, denial, and cult-style loyalty. Because when a leader can’t lead, the country leads into a void. And when the void is masked by bluster, by spectacle, by unchecked impulse — that void becomes our peril. Get rid of this man NOW!
