US President Donald Trump is often criticized. At the same time, there is increasing speculation about the 79-year-old's health.
The physical and mental health of US President Donald Trump is increasingly at the center of public discussion.
His appearances have repeatedly raised questions and speculation about his health. Experts and observers point to erratic statements, sudden changes of subject and occasional memory lapses that raise doubts about the 79-year-old president's stamina and cognitive ability.
Harvard psychologist calls Trump "mentally ill"
Psychologist Ellen B. Braaten believes that Donald Trump is mentally ill. On the social network Bluesky, she wrote: "Trump is mentally ill and needs treatment. I say this as a professional therapist concerned about a person who seems dangerous, if not to himself (because he is well-guarded), then to others."
Ellen B. Braaten is a child psychologist who works at Massachusetts General Hospital, among other institutions, and is a professor at the elite Harvard University. Braaten commented on a post by liberal journalist Aaron Rupar, who wrote on the same platform: "This was one of the most pointless press conferences of Trump's public life. He showed a picture of Putin and promised to use the US military to invade Chicago, New York and San Francisco. A sane country would now be working to impeach him as President."
According to a report in the Washington Post, the Pentagon plans to deploy the National Guard to Chicago as early as September to combat crime. Trump recently activated the National Guard to curb what is believed to be an out-of-control crime spree in the US capital, Washington.
Trump's health and cognitive state remain difficult for the public to assess. His public appearances have repeatedly sparked discussions about his orientation and concentration. This was most recently evident during a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Trump twice announced that he was "traveling to Russia."
According to media reports, he told a reporter on the plane that if the meeting did not yield results, "I will return to the United States." However, the meeting took place in Alaska, the northernmost state in the United States, which was purchased from Russia in 1867.
According to observers, it is said that US President Donald Trump has problems with the blood flow in his veins.
Trump and his staff have in the past dismissed any doubts about his health. One example is a letter from his then-doctor, Harold Bernstein, from December 2015, according to a report in Der Spiegel.
In it, Bernstein stated that, in his opinion, Trump would be “without reservation the healthiest candidate ever elected president.” However, it later emerged that Trump himself had dictated the letter.
The Spiegel report also covered Trump's recent meeting with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, in which Trump suddenly changed topics.
He first spoke about immigration policy, then suddenly switched to wind turbines, claiming that they "drive" whales crazy and that wind power "kills birds." The British magazine The Guardian turned to Cornell University psychologist Harry Segal for an assessment. Segal explained that the sudden changes in topics were indicative of "mindless surfing," adding that Trump "switches topics without self-control or a central theme."
Conspiracy theorist and Infowars host Alex Jones has expressed concerns about the health of the US president. On his show, he referred to a "health crisis" and warned of serious consequences if the 79-year-old president fails to reduce his workload. /Adapted from Fr.de/
