   "Dr. John Gartner on a tale of two brains: "Biden's brain is aging.   
   Trump's brain is dementing"   
   "This is a fundamental breakdown in the ability to use language," the   
   renowned mental health expert says of Trump"   
      
   "I had to speak out now because the 2024 election might turn on this   
   issue of who is cognitively capable: Biden or Trump? It's a major issue   
   that will affect some people's votes. Not enough people are sounding the   
   alarm, that based on his behavior, and in my opinion, Donald Trump is   
   dangerously demented. In fact, we are seeing the opposite among too many   
   in the news media, the political leaders and among the public. There is   
   also this focus on Biden's gaffes or other things that are well within   
   the normal limits of aging. By comparison, Trump appears to be showing   
   gross signs of dementia. This is a tale of two brains. Biden's brain is   
   aging. Trump's brain is dementing.   
      
   What evidence do you have for that conclusion?   
      
   "Phonemic paraphasias" ?the substitution of non-words for words that   
   sound similar?are not normally seen until a patient enters the moderate   
   to severe stages of Alzheimer?s."   
      
   Some examples of Trump?s non-words: Beneficiaries becomes ?benefishes.?   
   Renovations become ?renoversh.? Pivotal became ?pivobal." Obama became   
   ?obamna.? Missiles became ?mishiz.? Christmas became ?Crissus.?   
   Bipartisan became ?bipars.?   
      
   This is a fundamental breakdown in the ability to use language. If you   
   were talking to your father on the phone and he did this you would think   
   he is having a stroke. There is no healthy older person who speaks that   
   way.   
      
   Trump also engages in what we call "tangential speech." He just becomes   
   incomprehensible when he engages in free association word salad speech   
   that is all over the place. Again, that's a sign of real brain damage,   
   not being old, not being slow, not losing a step not being, but of   
   severe cognitive deterioration. What I don?t understand is why those   
   clips aren?t replayed over and over in the mainstream media. Isn?t Trump   
   babbling incoherently the most newsworthy part of his rally? You can be   
   sure it would be if it were Biden."
