A neuroscientist revealed the "horrific dangers" of President
Donald Trump's
mental decline during a podcast interview on Wednesday.
Dr. Frank George, a
neuroscientist and psychologist
, joined political commentator David Pakman on
"The David Pakman Show"
to discuss
Trump's mental state
. George revealed that
Trump
is becoming more disinhibited, which is a sign that his dementia is becoming worse and that he will soon have "no guardrails" for his malignant narcissism.
"You get to the point where the classic, 'Hold my beer,' and then they do something really stupid," George said. "That type of disinhibition is exactly what we see with frontotemporal dementia. But in Donald Trump's case, what's being disinhibited is his underlying malignant narcissism. And that's the horrific danger of the whole situation."
Trump's mental health has been a topic of heated debate throughout his second administration. The president has openly admitted to taking multiple cognitive exams, all of which he says he "aced," and administration officials have said Trump is as sharp mentally as they've ever seen.
Those statements stand in stark contrast to the opinions of neuroscientists who say Trump is displaying signs of mental decline, such as his slurred speech and his falling asleep during press conferences.
George added that these signs suggest that Trump's "erratic behavior" will get worse.
"The erratic behavior and everything that goes with that, the disinhibition, is an augmentation of his underlying personality disorder," George said. "And that's the horrific part of it because as a frontal temporal dementia progresses, that disinhibition just gets worse and worse. And so his decisions will become more erratic, more vengeful. It's just getting expressed with no guardrails." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
