MSNBC’s O’Donnell Highlights Trump Cognitive Decline Signs

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell has openly criticized President Donald Trump’s recent remarks and behavior as signs of cognitive decline, questioning how one would identify dementia in Trump given his historically low mental processing power. O’Donnell highlighted a specific instance where Trump asked aloud if he could appoint himself Chair of the Federal Reserve, calling it "indicative of dementia" and unprecedentedly foolish for a president. He argued that if President Joe Biden had made a similar comment, the media reaction would have been massive, and warned against normalizing such statements as typical presidential behavior. O’Donnell also mocked Trump’s incorrect statements about U.S. history, emphasizing the growing concerns about Trump’s mental fitness to handle the presidency, especially amid critical foreign policy decisions involving Israel and Iran. Meanwhile, reports from sources close to Trump indicate frequent angry outbursts and irritability, fueling further worries about his cognitive state and suitability for office. The White House defended Trump’s mental sharpness through statements from his current and former physicians, but media critiques continue to question his cognitive health.
