Three dozen medical experts who believe President Donald Trump is “mentally unfit” to perform his duties have had a letter outlining their concerns submitted to the congressional record.
The 36 neurologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals said in the letter that they had seen “objectively observable” signs of serious medical concerns in Trump, including deterioration of cognitive function, grandiose and delusional beliefs, and severely impaired judgment and impulse control.
“Emphasizing that he presents a clear and present danger to our country and to the world,” the letter concludes, “it is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be the President of the United States, and that steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency, with vital responsibilities on the shoulders of those in positions of leadership.”
No one in the group examined Trump face to face, the letter said, nor is he a patient of anyone in the group. But the letter said the group has “closely followed his behavior and his statements over the past year.”
Trump’s own doctor reported that the 79-year-old Republican was in “exceptional health” last October. That followed an April 2025 physical that found Trump was “fully fit” to serve as commander in chief.
