Donald Trump has recently shared that he underwent an MRI and claims to have successfully completed two cognitive tests. Amid concerns from experts about whether he is being fully transparent regarding his health status, Trump addressed these issues on Wednesday, even praising himself for taking a third cognitive exam.
For some time now, there has been widespread speculation regarding Trump’s health. Having voiced criticism against Joe Biden during the 2020 and 2024 elections for being too old and unfit due to health issues, Trump’s own health has now come under scrutiny. At 79 years old, Trump is the oldest president ever to be inaugurated, and naturally, this has brought increased attention to his health.
This year, he underwent an MRI but curiously claimed he was unaware of which body part was being examined. This has led many doctors to express concern, suspecting that Trump and his team may not be providing a complete picture to the public.
Nonetheless, following a routine checkup, his personal physician announced that Trump’s health was “excellent.”
A Leading Psychologist’s Stark Warning on Trump’s Condition
Back in late November, on The Daily Beast Podcast, renowned psychologist Dr. John Gartner raised significant concerns about Trump’s behavior. According to Gartner, who is also a therapist, activist, author, and former professor at Johns Hopkins, Trump’s recent behavior suggests a personality disorder exacerbated by dementia.
The psychologist stated, “When folks get dementia, they turn into exaggerated, uglier versions of who they were.” He had previously noted Trump’s frequent speech slip-ups and forgetfulness as telltale signs of dementia, and he believes these symptoms are worsening due to what he calls “malignant narcissism.”
Gartner further elaborated, “Any personality flaws just crumble further—they get cruder, more scattered, aggressive, and confused.”
Referring to Trump’s Veterans Day appearance, Gartner pointed out what he called “psychomotor slowdown,” mentioning how Trump appeared to struggle during a simple salute.
Gartner observed, “You can tell he’s having trouble lifting his hand properly,” adding that this could be related to either dementia or possibly a stroke—or a combination of both. He mentioned indicators like facial droop and a wide, swinging gait as warning signs.
Trump Finally Speaks Up About His Health
According to The New York Times, Trump’s schedule includes fewer public engagements and much less domestic travel compared to this point in his first term. True to character, Trump dislikes negative press, so on December 9th, he addressed his health status on Truth Social.
Oddly enough, he revealed that he had recently completed a third cognitive test—and he couldn’t resist boasting about it.
“No president’s ever hustled like I have! Longest hours, top-notch results,” Trump posted, claiming he’s built this “aura” around America that’s earned us respect from other nations like never before.
He discussed his “dull” medical exams at Walter Reed, conducted by top doctors.
“All of them gave me flawless scores—some even said they’ve never seen anything so solid. I take these tests for the sake of the country,” he said.
Trump Touts His Third Cognitive Win
Sharing further details, Trump said, “Apart from the physicals, I’ve done what no other president’s bothered with: three cognitive exams, the latest one just recently. It’s tough stuff—most folks, even at The New York Times, couldn’t handle it. But I aced every single one, right there with a crowd of doctors and professionals I mostly don’t even know.”
He proudly concluded, “I’ll spot when I’m slowing down, but it’s sure not happening yet!”
Now the question remains—do you think President Trump is being truthful about his health? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
