Donald Trump is showing visible signs of dementia through his late-night Truth Social sprees and public appearances, a specialist in geriatric care warned on Sunday. Speaking during an interview with mental health counsellor Dr Steven Hassan, licensed physical therapist Adam James claimed that the former president displays classic symptoms of 'sundowning', a clinical phenomenon linked to frontotemporal dementia that causes heightened agitation and paranoia during evening hours.

James, whose day-to-day work involves treating elderly patients, stated that these late-night digital patterns closely mirror the behavioural deterioration seen in clinical settings.
