Just came across this at MSN, Exerpt from the article, Adam James, a licensed physical therapist:
He further, asserting that 'the frontal lobe alerts us to when we're doing something we shouldn't be doing,' then alleging: 'His frontal lobe is shrinking inside his skull, and the MRIs will show this.' In the same breath, he suggests a deliberate effort to obscure that alleged shrinkage, claiming the administration has 'pivoted' to CT scans 'because they don't want you to see that his brain is shrinking.'
James frames his argument around frontotemporal dementia, stating that if it is FTD 'the life expectancy after diagnosis is roughly seven to 12 years,' and he claims Trump has displayed symptoms since before he was elected in 2016.
Then there's the bruising. James dismisses the explanation that hand marks could be from extensive handshaking, calling that 'nonsense' and claiming: 'That's an IV injection site.' He speculates Trump may be receiving 'IV diuretic medication to pull excess fluid off his body.' That is the sort of detail that sounds persuasive precisely because it is specific; it is also, in the absence of corroboration, exactly the sort of specificity that can mislead.
Time noted that Trump 'appeared to confuse Greenland with Iceland' during the address. CBS News reported the White House attempted to explain Trump's references to 'Iceland,' with press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushing back sharply when questioned.
Other outlets covered the moment with the same mix of fascination and alarm. The Philippine Daily Inquirer described Trump repeatedly referring to 'Iceland' instead of Greenland during remarks in Davos, adding that the White House rejected any suggestion of confusion. These are not medical findings; they are political moments, and political moments are now routinely treated as symptoms by an audience primed for a diagnosis.
That is what makes this whole episode feel so grimly contemporary. In a normal world, health questions about a president would be addressed with transparent medical reporting, proper context, and a reluctance to turn conjecture into certainty. Here, the pipeline runs the other way: a viral claim first, the caveats later, if at all. https://msn.com/en-gb/news/world/donald-trump-s-frontal-lobe-decline-means-potus-can-t-shut-his-mouth-health-expert-warns/ar-AA1VVQMmLike to see more data to confirm the medical case.

Please. Oh, PLEASE. Let it be soon.
"...Obviously what we're dealing with now are age-related cognitive declines,” said Mary Trump. “We're dealing with physical issues that the White House tries to cover over. But this is somebody who for decades now has had serious, undiagnosed and untreated psychiatric disorders, which are only going to worsen, especially given the pressure he's under and given the cognitive and physical declines.”

"...The incidents have become a red flag to Dr. John Gartner, who pointed to Trump taking the Montreal Cognitive Assessments more than once.
"You know, he kind of gave the game away again, as he often does," he stated on a past episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast." "You could maybe justify giving someone the MoCA once, just on their age, just as part of a physical. If you’re giving it to him three times, that means you’re not assessing dementia. That means you’re monitoring dementia."
