Body language analyst says Trump's behavior shows possible medical decline

Clinical psychologist John Paul Garrison interprets recent Trump appearances as evidence of worsening neurological issues, citing a visible bulge in his trousers and repetitive speech patterns.

John Paul Garrison, a forensic psychologist specializing in body language, analyzed a recent video shared by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that displayed an odd bulge in Donald Trump's trousers, prompting speculation about adult diaper use. Garrison clarified that his focus is on the medical implications, noting that neurological conditions like stroke or Alzheimer's can impair bladder and bowel control.

He also highlighted Trump's repeated use of the phrase "young, beautiful girls," describing it as possible perseveration—a symptom of diminished inhibitory control. According to Garrison, these behaviors suggest an accelerating cognitive and physical decline, potentially exacerbated by Trump's advanced age. He emphasized that the observations are not intended to shame but to draw attention to the president's health concerns. The analysis combines visual cues with known neurological effects to argue that Trump's public demeanor may be signaling deeper medical issues.

Why it matters

If the president is experiencing neurological decline, it could affect his decision-making and public duties.
