   Donald Trump has three mental disorders, according to a top psychologist,   
   who says the former president is becoming a 'tottering, dementing old man'

   Top psychologist John D. Gartner has suggested that Donald Trump suffers   
   from three distinct mental disorders, which he believes are evident in the   
   behavior of the Republican frontrunner. Gartner, a psychologist,   
   psychotherapist, author, activist, and former assistant professor at Johns   
   Hopkins University Medical, shared his insights exclusively with The   
   Mirror.   
      
   He posits that Trump is afflicted by "malignant narcissistic personality   
   disorder, hyper manic temperament, and dementia." "His hyper-manic   
   temperament is where his anger comes to the fore. The 40 tweets in one   
   night.. even on holidays. His tweets are always filled with rage,   
   constantly labeling people as losers. Trump is up at 3am on a holiday,   
   ranting about how anyone who doesn't idolise him is a loser," Dr Gartner   
   explained to The Mirror.   
      
      
   Dr Gartner attributes Trump's erratic behavior as evidence for his   
   diagnosis. Trump's relentless posting of 'Truths' on his social media   
   platforms, his disjointed speeches at campaign rallies, and the 77-year-   
   old's inability to distinguish between individuals. The author of The   
   Dangerous Case of Donald Trump added: "[Trump's narcissism] consists of   
   four components, narcissism, paranoia, psychopathy, sadism. These are   
   people who live and breathe rage; if they're not being adored, they seek to   
   destroy and inflict pain on anyone who won't worship them."   
      
      
   Finally, Gartner revealed: "I believe that he's showing unquestionable   
   signs of dementia, and that's the diagnosis.. we have over 500 signatures   
   from licensed mental health professionals on a petition asking for Trump's   
   removal," reports the Mirror.   
      
   While Gartner maintains there is a basis for diagnosing individuals from   
   afar, he also cautions that if Trump does have untreated dementia, it'll   
   exacerbate all of his angry outbursts.   
      
   "When people become demented.. whatever personality disorder they had,   
   whatever sounds bad, becomes 10x as bad.. it's hard to imagine.. the Donald   
   Trump you see today is the best Donald Trump you'll see," he elaborated. On   
   April 5, Trump lambasted Joe Biden as a violent thug in a new campaign   
   video - which also criticizes Madonna for boasting she "thought about   
   blowing up the White House."   
      
   The former president unveiled the unhinged 1.29-minute video on his social   
   media platform Truth Social which features a series of clips of Democrats   
   promoting violence against Trump. But what many refer to as mad ramblings,   
   Dr. Gartner says, is much more.   
      
   "The press labels it as 'rambling', but that's actually misinformation...   
   people understand [those who ramble]... but when... you listen to his   
   speeches, they're incoherent," he commented. He further added: "Language,   
   behavior, motor performance, in the area of behavior, he's becoming more   
   erratic, more disoriented, all the things he did before but now it's in a   
   more primitive and decontrolled way, he's just a pageful ID with no cortex   
   to direct it, and think how dangerous that could be."   
      
   At a fundraiser on April 8, Trump bizarrely claimed Biden had a soiling   
   accident in the Oval Office. These comments were made during a roughly 45-   
   minute speech at a dinner where he repeatedly mocked Biden's age and   
   'inability.'   
      
   Despite only being three years apart in age, Dr. Gartner suggests Trump is   
   attempting to deflect from his own issues. "When [Trump] says Obama is   
   president, he's not joking. He never jokes anyway. He genuinely got   
   confused about who the president was. That's a level of confusion you see   
   in Alzheimer's and dementia. This question is one of ones we ask patients;   
   if they don't know the president, they get admitted," Gartner clarified.   
      
   "Pathologising Biden's signs of aging, but ignoring Trump's dementia   
   symptoms, we don't have a culture of revering our elders, so we pick on   
   these frailties," Dr Gartner pointed out. "Meanwhile, it's one thing to   
   forget the name of the president of France but another to forget the   
   president of the United States.   
      
      
      
   "You can't have both side-ism when you're comparing apples to rotted   
   oranges... the false equivalence is very damaging.. a tale of two brains,   
   Biden's brain is aging, and Trump is dementing.. that's what happens with   
   misinformation. It takes away our ability to believe.. We're told not to   
   believe our eyes. There are still a few areas on earth where truth still   
   exists, and one is science and medicine," says Gartner, as he urges   
   individuals to "pay attention."   
      
   "He's really a tottering old man that needs care we can see he's really   
   losing it and needs care. Chief executive of the country that has no   
   executive functioning left," said Gartner. And his angry outbursts have   
   transferred into a gag order on the former president, as Judge Juan Merchan   
   grew tired of Trump's constant bashing on social media.   
      
      
   Now, Trump is seeking to have New York's highest court intervene in his   
   fight over a gag order that has seen him fined $10,000 and threatened with   
   jail for violating a ban on commenting about witnesses, jurors, and others   
   connected to his hush money criminal trial.
