Donald Trump's recent online outbursts have prompted fresh concern from a US physician, who said the president is showing behaviours he believes are consistent with dementia. The warning followed a string of public moments and social media posts that Dr Vin Gupta said point to a pattern of cognitive decline in the 79 year old.
The latest flashpoint was a crude and threatening Easter Sunday post about Iran on Truth Social. Trump wrote that 'Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,' before demanding that officials 'open the f***in' Strait' and signing off with 'Praise be to Allah, Donald J Trump.' The post came after several days in which Trump had not been seen in public, fuelling online speculation about his health.
