Doctor Alarmed by Trump’s Dangerous Health Crisis

from The Daily Beast Podcast · host The Daily Beast, Joanna Coles

Dr. John Gartner returns to The Daily Beast Podcast to mark Donald Trump’s 80th birthday with a deeply provocative conversation about aging, cognitive decline, power, and the presidency. Speaking with Joanna Coles, Gartner argues that the public is witnessing something far more serious than normal aging, laying out his assessment of Trump’s behavior, speech patterns, late-night social media activity, health concerns, and decision-making as global crises escalate. The discussion explores dementia, malignant narcissism, stress, sleep deprivation, executive power, and why millions of Americans remain drawn to Trump despite mounting concerns from critics. From White House medical visits and cognitive testing to the psychology of leadership and the dangers of unchecked authority, this is an intense and unsettling examination of one of the most consequential figures in modern politics.
