Overview
- Former White House counsel Ty Cobb told MS NOW that President Trump appears lost and shows dementia-like signs.
- Cobb pointed to a shrinking vocabulary and heavy use of profanity and threats as signs of weakened cognitive control.
- He warned that others could steer decisions by exploiting perceived impairment, citing Benjamin Netanyahu in an Iran decision.
- He also said flattering the president’s ego can sway choices, using Vladimir Putin as an example of influence through praise.
- The White House, through spokesperson Davis Ingle, rejected the claims and said the president remains sharp, with no independent medical evaluation made public.
