Inside the Left’s Weird New Push to Paint Trump As Mentally Unfit
Jeff Charles
Left-wing media very much wants President Donald Trump to have dementia. At first, they began peddling this narrative to distract from former President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline.
Now, they are likely using it for a similar reason.
The Insider published a so-called “investigation” into Trump’s supposed cognitive issues during his second term. It enlisted several mental health professionals to support their narrative. Dr. Bandy Lee, formerly of Yale University, claimed the president is showing clear signs of early dementia. These signs include reduced vocabulary, incoherence, impulsivity, and “paraphasias,” which is when someone replaces incorrect or distorted words with the intended ones.
In fact, these experts were so desperate to convince the nation that Trump has the same problems as Biden that 50 of them signed a statement in 2024 warning of Trump’s “perseveration,” “inappropriate or vague statements,” and a pattern of narcissistic and profane speech. “There are cases where a person wears a ‘mask of sanity’ and appears perfectly functional — but it’s just a disguise,” Dr. Lee said.
