Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has shared his perception Donald Trump is affected by dementia.
The politician, who has served as the forty third governor of Illinois since 2013, made the feedback throughout a dialog with NCS anchor Kaitlan Collins on her program The Source. Collins instantly addressed the subject of President Trump’s health, asking, “Do you think the president has dementia?”
“I do,” Pritzker confirmed. “I think if you look at any of the videos from 2015 or 2016 and look at how he responded to questions and how he was at press conferences, and then you fast forward and look at him now, I really think that there’s something genuinely wrong with him.” Trump has sparked loads of health fears in latest weeks, with the speculation growing after he was seen with a swollen face.
Pritzker then admitted, “I’m not a doctor, I haven’t diagnosed anything. I’m just suggesting to you that just look at the way he puts words and sentences together and thoughts, and they’re almost divergent in the same sentences.”
Pritzker’s feedback adopted Trump making a peculiar comment throughout his most up-to-date speech. At the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota on Wednesday, July 1, the 80-year-old delivered a questionable joke to the assembled crowd.
Referencing the proven fact that Theodore Roosevelt and his son, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., have been the solely father-son duo to have acquired the Congressional Medal of Honor, Trump said, “As I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think I’m going to give one to myself, one to them and we’ll have a threesome, ok.”
He continued, “I’ll pick out one of the two, I’ll give them the Congressional Medal of Honour for something – for their genius at hunting, and I’ll get one for taking on Russia, Russia, Russia.”
Trump’s niece, psychologist and creator Mary Trump, has additionally publicly raised doubts about his wellbeing. On June 23 she issued a stark warning, alleging that his situation is deteriorating each mentally and bodily.
In her weekly publication, she wrote that her uncle’s “decaying” health can now not be ignored, suggesting he’s caught in a “downward spiral.”
Addressing what she characterised as Trump’s erratic habits, late-night social media posts and the faltering Iran peace deal, she said, “He may still have moments when he appears more coherent, but psychologically he’s in a downward spiral. He’s experiencing constant narcissistic injuries, and nothing terrifies Donald more than humiliation.”
Nevertheless, the White House has pushed again towards claims that the president’s health is in decline. Following a latest bodily examination at Walter Reed Medical Centre, Trump was declared “fully fit” to serve, whereas spokesman Steven Cheung dismissed Mary Trump’s assertions as baseless.
