Psychiatrist lists ten warning signs of Donald Trump's mental decline

Dr. Henry Abraham, a psychiatrist formerly affiliated with Tufts University, detailed ten concerning behaviors he attributes to Donald Trump, suggesting a significant decline in mental functioning. He cites the president’s pattern of staying awake for hours to post on social media, followed by sudden daytime sleep episodes, as indicative of manic episodes. Additional red flags include uncontrollable anger, occasional disorientation requiring assistance, and a tendency toward tangential, incoherent speech.

Abraham also highlights Trump's increasing grandiosity, such as self-portrayals as a religious figure, and his persistent belief that he won the 2020 election despite contrary evidence, which he classifies as delusional. He warns that the combination of these psychiatric signs with Trump’s control over nuclear arsenals creates a potentially hazardous situation. While acknowledging that a definitive diagnosis cannot be made without a direct evaluation, Abraham urges that these symptoms be taken seriously by the public and policymakers.
