Doctors who have warned for months about Donald Trump's cognitive state say his decline is accelerating, with a string of June incidents driving fresh calls for transparency from a White House that waited three days until a late Friday evening to release his latest physical exam results.
Clinical psychologist John Gartner, a former assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, told The Daily Beast on 11 June that Trump's habit of veering into long monologues about projects bearing his name is consistent with one of the established warning signs of dementia. 'Tangential speech is one of the diagnostic criteria for dementia,' Gartner said, arguing that the 79-year-old president is 'in dramatic neurological decline'.
