President Donald Trump has continued to demonstrate signs of worsening mental “decline,” according to one professional psychologist, who detailed the latest “red flags” in a new video.

Dr. John Paul Garrison is a licensed forensic and clinical psychologist who specializes in body language. He is also a content creator who has released numerous videos giving his professional insight into the tells for cognitive decline that he has seen Trump exhibiting during public appearances or addresses.

In his latest video, he dug into two recent appearances by Trump, one at an event in Las Vegas and another in the Oval Office, which he said were full of further signs of his worsening condition.

“Over the past several months, I’ve been frequently analyzing President Trump’s behavior because it has gotten more erratic,” Garrison explained. “It’s gotten more unusual, and we’re seeing more neurological hiccups. As I’ve mentioned for months now, it appears that there are neurological changes from President Trump. Whether it’s post-stroke or something else, we have seen distinct changes. The reason this matters so much, and the reason that I’m covering it so much, is that I believe we are seeing this play out on the world stage. I think it is affecting his judgment. I think that it is affecting his ability to make decisions, and it certainly is affecting his behavior, and I’m going to show you in what ways that it affects his behavior.”

    Who the fuck cares? Stop wasting your time with meaningless nonsense.

    Play the game of politics and learn how to beat him, or stfu. This is just big-D Democrat nonsense. The world is not an ideal fairy tale, this does not matter one iota unless his base cares, which they very obviously don’t.

      This dude’s not a politician. He’s presenting is professional opinions publicly about the leader of the US. Everyone should care about that. I for one love seeing posts like this. That he’s doing is at some degree “playing the game of politics” because this person has specific skills, not as a politician, but he’s using them to publicize a politicians state of being. You sound like you have a better road map for what this person should be doing instead. Care to elaborate on that?

        No he’s not, because actual medical professionals don’t diagnose people at a distance.

        The fact that he’s claiming to while claiming he’s a professional tells you that at least one of those two statements is false.

      Dr. John Paul Garrison, a licensed forensic and clinical psychologist, certainly cares. This gets his name into the news…

        As an outside observer, it looks like either Obama could have, it looks like Sanders could have, it looks like Budigeg could, it looks like Mamdani could.

        Run a real candidate against him with a coherent political view that’s not just a bunch of big D Democrat nonsense.

          Just to take two options off the list: under the current state of the constitution, Obama can’t run for a third term, and Mamdani is not eligible for the presidency (being foreign-born).

            I think what he meant was get a competent candidate with proven work and concrete ideas, focus more on class war rather than race war

          There’s no need for armchair theorizing when we have a real mechanic system for making the best odds: it’s called a primary and the DNC hasn’t seen it necessary to use one in 20 years

            agree! the last candidate they embraced was Obama. since then, the playbook has been “do something that the people are familiar with and lets call it a day” like a shitty disney live action reboot

          Obama could certainly do it, no shit.

          Sander v trump would be fun to watch but I’m not so sure.

          Mammdani would have him in the first round.

          Trump isn’t the root cause is what I’m getting at. I forget not everyone handles metaphors well.
