Is Trump in mental decline? How else can his performances during the 2024 campaign in particular be interpreted? For instance, at a campaign rally, he stood on stage for almost 40 minutes, saying nothing, just swaying during campaign music. And his interviews seemed to tell the same story.
Clinical psychologist Dr. Ben Michaelis told[1] PBS interviewer Amna Nawaz describes his analysis of Trump's speaking style over the years as decreasing in complexity, but more important to his thought patterns, he's becoming less linear, more tangential, and even into circumstantiality, which Michaelis describes as "losing the thread entirely."
Michaelis is clear that neither he nor anyone else can make a clinical diagnosis of dementia without face-to-face analysis, but he points to many suggestive signs of it, buttressed to some measure by the dementia suffered by Trump's father, Fred Trump. Nothing is definitive, yet the bizarre behaviors are at the least a legitimate concern.
