A top American psychologist has hinted that Donald Trump is “paranoid” that he will be “removed from office” amid growing concerns about his health. The 79-year-old US President stated in a recent interview that he is in “excellent” health, that he takes more aspirin than doctors recommend, that he uses make-up to cover the bruises on his hands, and that he does not exercise regularly because he finds it “boring”.
In a recent interview, Mr. Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he was seeking medical advice for a number of health problems. Analyzing his health status with The Daily Beast, Dr John Gartner explained how the US President is taking a different approach when dealing with rumors of “cognitive decline”. He said: “I know we’re going to talk about the Wall Street Journal article that just came out about Trump, but one of the interesting things they said was that in the case of Biden, his handlers basically kept him out of the public eye as a way of deceiving the public about his level of cognitive decline.
The psychologist identified how Mr. Trump introduced the “25th Amendment” in his speeches. He was asked if the President of the United States was truly worried that someone would invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office based on mental capacity.
Dr Gartner added: “I’m sure he’s actually paranoid about it. Because he’s paranoid and paranoid people are very quick to see any threat to their power. Especially a malignant narcissist. ‘People talking about my health reminds me of the 25th Amendment, so stop talking about it for the 25th time.’
The 25th Amendment outlines how presidential power is transferred if a president dies, resigns, is removed from office, or becomes unable to perform the duties of the office, and Donald Trump He recently denied reports questioning his health and insisted his condition was “excellent”.
