"His brain is falling apart inside his skull": The new claims about Trump's health

A new video from the White House shows Trump struggling to stay awake at an official event. Physical therapist Adam James, who is not his doctor, claims the president suffers from dementia and 'sundowning', and even speculated about the use of stimulants. The article emphasizes there is no medical evidence for these claims, and presents the White House report stating Trump is in excellent health.

A new video from the Oval Office, filmed during a White House event attended by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other senior officials, shows President Donald Trump, 80, struggling to keep his eyes open, closing them for periods, and slumping in his chair while others speak. Physical therapist Adam James, who is not Trump's doctor and has never examined him, watched the footage and claimed the president suffers from dementia and experiences a phenomenon known as 'sundowning'. He even speculated, without evidence, that the president's appearance indicates use of stimulants, and said 'his brain is falling apart inside his skull'. The article emphasizes there is no public evidence for these claims, and that a dementia diagnosis cannot be made based on watching a video alone. It notes James's track record, having previously claimed Trump suffers from heart failure and kidney disease, and estimated he had only months to live – a prediction that did not come true. In contrast, the White House presents an opposite medical picture: the latest report states the president is in excellent health and fit for office, and he received a perfect score on the Montreal cognitive test. The article concludes that while the video raises legitimate questions about the alertness of an 80-year-old president, it does not provide a medical diagnosis.
