Psychologist Dr. John Garrison has raised concerns regarding Donald Trump’s cognitive and neurological health. Analyzing recent video footage, Garrison suggests the former president is exhibiting signs of ‘steep neurological decline’ and a ‘manic-like state.’

Garrison specifically pointed to verbal issues, including difficulties with speech planning and disorganized thought patterns. He also noted an involuntary vocalization and observed that Trump’s pupils remained dilated despite being in a brightly lit environment, which Garrison interpreted as a potential indicator of neurological disruption.
