John Gartner is a psychologist who, as founder of Duty To Warn, has raised the alarm about Trump's declining mental fitness. This week, we had the honor of interviewing him for a disturbing conversation about why he’s more worried than ever that the media and the public are missing all the blaring red signs that Trump is slipping rapidly into dementia. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/john-gartner-trump-cognitive-decline

@georgetakei Ever read a transcript of a speech from him? Of years ago?
Still, he represents near 50% of the voters. They don't care.

What every American should consider...If Trump was an average person, not wealthy, famous, or a minority:Where would he be right now? This isn't just about Trump, but about wealth, power, and who you are. He represents some of the worst aspects of our country. Things we could, and should, change. This country put this vile individual into the highest position in our nation. And it says a LOT about us and our priorities as a people and a nation. And it should never be allowed to happen again, or we are lost.

@georgetakei This needs to be a video. A supercut of his dementia will make a bigger impact than an article.

@georgetakei
Reagan could lower taxes while dement, so I didn't see why Trump would be any different?

This was obvious years ago but people who follow this *** do not want to see it.

@georgetakei “Slipping rapidly…”!?!? He’s way past that point, for quite a while.

@georgetakei As long as America is regressing, it should definitely bring back insane asylums to dump the feeble-minded into.

@georgetakei this should be the Breaking News on NBC, @NBC Totally disgusted with the direction of the network. They are losing their audience, forgetting who is actually watching it.

Is it rapid enough to take effect before November?

@georgetakei I thought he was mentally unfit in 2016 and he has gotten worse since then.

We are all frogs in the pot. Trump's incoherence has been progressively worsening for so long that we've become inured to his senseless blather. He's stark raving mad and no one listens to it anymore, so it just doesn't register.

Trump is definitely showing signs of dementia - and has been for the past couple of years, but it has recently got much worse. I doubt he will last 4 years!

@georgetakei fascinaging, if unsurprising, and it is terrifying.

@georgetakei they’ve been saying this is “imminent” for at least six years

@georgetakei So we have a former president who has mental issues and a current president who has mental issues and a preference for children. I am not seeing much difference. 🤔 🤔 🤔

Time some people started filming his speeches and posting them, unedited, online.

@georgetakei I want to call this a deference to institution. BigMedia operates in that environment in privilege

@georgetakei the media isn’t “missing” the red flags, they are willfully ignoring them.

@georgetakei I don't ever listen to Trump speeches. Not my thing, I don't live in North America, etc.

This interview is fascinating, though, because even though I live in France I have crossed paths with people here who adhere to the "cult" aspect of Trump and like to giggle and mock Biden.

@georgetakei what a great election, two 80+, nearly dement, one yells and spits acid any time he speaks, the other falls and forget what he is saying, ...

@georgetakei I think he's a co-founder. The other co-founder is a Dr. Bandy Lee, I believe? A forensic psychiatrist?

@georgetakei Fascinating, thanks. Two small typos, I think: 1) it should be "wide-based gait" (not "gate") and 2) the quote from Harry Segal, Ph.D. is not set as a quote like the others signers of the petition.
