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.”

    So he’s not a neurologist and not qualified to talk about dementia, or he’s just stated what is pretty fucking obvious.

      They won’t. Americans are idiots.

      They generally only protest when social media tells them to. And social media only tells them to protest when the President is someone the owners of social media don’t like. They all like to cosplay as rebels, but really they’re the most complacent people in the world.

          You are doing these things. I do what I can to reduce carbon emissions and reduce waste. You could too, but you’re told that it’s fine for you to do nothing other than sit around complaining about other people on social media.

            I’m responding to a thread that makes this seem like it’s a deeply American problem. It’s obvious that this isn’t the only country that won’t successfully push back against a decline. Our species needs to be able to organize better.

      We’re set up as a “constitutional republic” with a senate that has disproportionate representation and no ability to recall anyone like your parliamentary system. We get stuck with elected officials for their full term and justices for life. We’ve suffered a coup where a minority party took power from the gerrymandering of districts. Yes, our system is stupidly designed and too many people buy into the “sanctity” of our constitution, when it could just be rewritten.

      But that requires a convoluted process that an overwhelming majority of the states would have support.

      Protesting in the streets does next to nothing against the entrenched fascist government. They don’t respect the law or the lives of people that oppose them.

      If you’re hinting a violent revolution, that’s not happening unless there’s widespread starvation. Fear keeps people in check. Don’t forget about 30% of the population still love Trump. I don’t think a bunch of college kids are going to become guerrilla warriors against a sophisticated military with superior communication and satellite imagery at their command.

      So people are frustrated and the only outlet most have is online. At least venting about it feels good. We’re mostly powerless to change here, unfortunately.

      Our only chance for change is when the turd dies. Well, maybe. Trump is just a useful puppet for the heritage foundation, Israel and the corporate oligarchs. When one goes down, a hundred are ready to take his place .

      Don’t worry though. In decades, climate change will disrupt the global food supply badly, people will blame their respective governments, and we’ll see mass violence and chaos. All civilizations eventually collapse.

        Yeah the system as it is right now is basically set up that the only way anything changes is through some type of economic collapse. Personally I suspect that everything is set to fail in the US at this point but nothing has set off the powder keg.

          The prior generations also war and geopolitical shifts that pushed Europe and America leftwards. Fascism devastated Europe and efforts were focused on dismantling and suppressing right wing elements. Additionally, you had the Soviet Union, which provided a counterbalance to Western capitalism, and many countries liberalized their governments for fears of communism taking over.

          If China is able to carefully shift towards more traditional Marxist socialism, while preserving the integrity of their economy, they will become the new threat to the West, that once again turns the tide against the rightward shift towards fascism and ultracapitalism. We need a second surge towards communism in the world.

    I guess “YouTuber uploads new video” isn’t as attention grabbing but it feels more accurate. The guy’s got a channel where he speculates on current events in politics and noteworthy criminal cases. He’ll release another video about the signs of Trump’s mental decline next week too, because he does one every week.

            There is no effective treatment for Alzheimer’s. They will sell you expensive drugs approved by a corrupt FDA, but they don’t actually work, or will cause brain hemorrhaging.

            We just watched a relative with plenty of money starve to death (actually it might have been dehydration that officially did it) because assisted suicide isn’t legal in our area, at least not for Alzheimer’s. It was early onset, and relatively fast progression, but hospice only drugged her so it hopefully wasn’t as uncomfortable.

      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.

        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.

          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).
