Donald Trump has undergone an MRI scan and confirmed that he’s passed two cognitive tests. Several experts have claimed the president isn’t telling the truth about his health, and on Wednesday, Trump addressed his health. Meanwhile, he somewhat bragged about taking another cognitive test.
Donald Trump’s health has been a huge talking point for months. While he slammed former President Joe Biden several times both in 2020 and in 2024 for being too old and having health issues that would make him unfit for office, Trump, who became the oldest president ever to be sworn in earlier this year, has now become the center of attention regarding his health.
He underwent an MRI scan earlier this year but claimed not to have known what part of the body they were actually scanning. Several doctors have expressed their concerns that Donald Trump and his administration are withholding the truth from the American public.
Still, his doctor said the president was in “excellent health” during a ‘routine check’ earlier this year.
Top psychologist shares grim claim about Trump’s health
In late November, while speaking on The Daily Beast Podcast, top psychologist Dr. John Gartner, a therapist, activist, author, and former professor at Johns Hopkins, claimed Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior most likely points toward a personality disorder, which is being rapidly worsened by dementia.
“When people develop dementia, they become the worst versions of themselves,” Gartner said on The Daily Beast Podcast.
Previously, the professor had stated that the 79-year-old president’s verbal gaffes, confusion daily, and frequent memory lapses were “clinical signs of dementia.” Gartner claims it has worsened as he believes Trump has underlying “malignant narcissism.”
“Whatever personality issues or problems [people with dementia] have begin to deteriorate and they become even more crude, disorganized, aggressive, confused versions of that personality disorder,” Gartner said.
He also brought up the example from Veterans Day of Trump having “signs of psychomotor deterioration.” Gartner stated that Donald Trump had difficulty saluting.
“You do see he’s having difficulty raising his hand to salute,” Gartner concluded on The Daily Beast Podcast. “And part of dementia and or stroke, because it really could be either or both of those, because it appears like it is on the right side of his body that he had the droop with the face. It’s also on the right side of his body that he has the wide-based gait, where he swings his leg in kind of a semicircle. These are signs.”
Donald Trump breaks silence on his health
The New York Times published a story on how Trump has “fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office.” As many times before, the president is not a fan of bad publicity and negative comments against him, and on Wednesday, December 9, he took to Truth Social to speak out about his health.
Strangely enough, he revealed that he had undergone a third cognitive test – and bragged about it.
“There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best,” Donald Trump wrote, stating that he has created an “aura” around the US, which has made “every country in the world to respect us more than ever before.”
He continued by discussing the “boring” medical exams he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center.
“Seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country,’ Trump explained.
Brags about a third cognitive test
“In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know.’ “
The president added, “I will know when I am ‘slowing up,’ but it’s not now!”
