US Doctor Flags 'Dementia Symptoms' In Donald Trump, Raises Alarm Over Health

Washington: Amid the ongoing conflict in Middle East, a worrying issue has emerged regarding US President Donald Trump's health. Following Trump's continued outbursts against Iran, a medical expert has claimed that he is showing "all the signs of dementia". 

What did the medical expert say?

Dr. Vin Gupta, who identifies himself as a senior medical analyst for MS Now on X, said that President Donald Trump is displaying all the symptoms of dementia.

While expressing concerns, the Gupta said that he has recently noticed five concerning symptoms in the 79-year-old President.

What are the symptoms?

This isn't the first time Dr. Gupta has expressed concern about the health of Trump. In January, he warned that Trump is showing a "trend line" of cognitive decline that seems to be “worsening.”

But this time, Gupta said that the President is exhibiting typical symptoms of dementia, such as strange behaviour, confusion, erratic thinking, and difficulty with word choice.

Taking to X, Dr Gupta wrote, "Erratic. Can't finish sentences. Often confused. Illogical train of thought. Word finding difficulties."

Erratic.
Can’t finish sentences.
Often confused.
Illogical train of thought.
Word finding difficulties.

Developing and worsening gradually over time.

What is the reason of claims?

Dr. Gupta further stated in his post that these symptoms are gradually increasing and worsening over time. 

"Developing and worsening gradually over time,. The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia," Gupta said.

The health expert issued the warning after Trump posted a series of bizarre social media posts during the Easter holidays. 

On Truth Social, Trump had posted, "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!"

Does Trump need treatment?

According to the medical expert, such incidents are not isolated cases, but rather part of a larger and more worrying medical condition. 

In January, Gupta claimed that these signs indicate a trend of declining thinking ability. 

The health expert told an organization, "He is the President of the United States, so we hope that, beyond the headlines, he is getting the treatment he needs."

What did the White House say?

The White House dismissed all these claims, calling them "crazy conspiracy theories" fabricated by political partisans and "crazy liberals."

However, speculation about Trump's health intensified, as his comments on April 5 came after a period of silence on social media.
