Donald Trump cognitive decline claims

Overview

In early July 2026 an expert highlighted a slip of Donald Trump’s ribbon‑cutting scissors during a public event, interpreting it as a possible sign of dementia. By the end of the month the same speech‑language pathologist, Hillary Shea, appeared on the David Pakman Show and elaborated on a series of red‑flags in Trump’s speech and motor behavior. Shea described a reduced vocabulary, frequent “glitches” such as shoulder twitches when he misspeaks, and difficulty suppressing unwanted movements. She questioned the reliability of Trump’s self‑reported Montreal Cognitive Assessment score and compared his decline to assessments of former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, noting a sharper drop in Trump’s vocabulary and persistent focus on the 2020 election as concerning symptoms.
