US President Donald Trump might be actively monitored for dementia, according to a psychologist who claims the president's own statements suggest a pattern of cognitive decline. The suggestion is the latest in the increasing concerns many have about the US leader's cognitive health.
In an episode of The Daily Beast podcast, psychologist Dr John Gartner, a former professor at Johns Hopkins, suggested that Trump's claim of having passed three Montreal Cognitive Assessments (MoCA) is a sign that he is being monitored for the progression of dementia, not just routinely screened. The White House has hit back furiously, branding Dr Gartner a 'deranged leftist' with 'zero credibility'.
