A renewed debate over Donald Trump’s cognitive health has emerged after a psychologist publicly questioned his condition, despite an official White House medical report declaring him physically and cognitively fit for office. Trump’s physician described him as healthy, stable, and fully capable, citing normal exam results and strong cognitive performance, a claim Trump himself reinforced publicly.
Critics, led by psychologist Dr. John Gartner, argue that changes in Trump’s movement and coordination seen in recent appearances may indicate neurological decline, though these claims are based solely on video analysis and not direct examination. Trump’s team has not responded, and the White House maintains that the official medical evaluation remains authoritative. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between medical privacy, public scrutiny, and political interpretation.
