Donald Trump's increasingly erratic public behavior has led experts to question his mental acuity. Recent examples include falsely claiming his uncle knew the Unabomber, launching into an unprompted two-minute rant about windmills, and exhibiting significant memory problems and confusion during discussions about US aid to Gaza. These incidents, along with previously documented instances of rambling speeches, topic-switching, and difficulty focusing, have prompted concerns about his cognitive function. While Trump has dismissed such concerns, some mental health professionals have expressed serious alarm, citing his behavior as consistent with signs of dementia. These experts point to a clear deterioration in his cognitive abilities compared to his past performance. The White House, however, strongly refutes these claims, with spokespeople and Trump's physician asserting his excellent health and fitness for office.
