On Tuesday, a widely cited psychologist took to YouTube to raise the alarm regarding “more highly concerning behavior” from President Donald Trump. According to Dr. John Garrison, Trump’s recent actions suggest “steep neurological decline” and a dangerously “manic-like state.”
Garrison began by playing a clip from a recent Fox News interview, in which Trump declared that the price of oil is “going to go down like a rocket.” According to Garrison, “There were two neurological issues in this very short clip, both of them verbal. One is that he’s having speech planning issues, saying ‘going down like a rocket.’ Obviously, that’s combining phrases. He’s having a hard time organizing his thoughts. And second is an involuntary vocalization.” Here Garrison replays the clip, noting an abrupt sound Trump makes, explaining, “The pathways that deal with language are disrupted. We are seeing serious issues with language with President Trump.” What’s more, Garrison asserts that such vocalizations are “relatively new.”
In the interview, Trump begins talking about the midterm elections, saying, “I’m going to campaign like I did for myself and I’m going to hope that people think that I’m on. And if I’m not on, if they don’t go out and vote, if they go out and vote, we’re going to win easily.” As Garrison notes, “What he’s saying makes absolutely no sense. He cannot organize his thoughts. He gets confused and he believes what he’s saying is coherent. But it truly makes no sense.” According to Garrison, this struggle with verbal planning can be evidence of underlying “neurological issues.”
Here Garrison points to Trump’s pupils, which have remained dilated throughout the interview. “Trump is in a very bright room for this interview,” says Garrison. “You can see the lights actually reflecting off of his eyes, and what should be happening is that his pupils should be constricting rather than dilating because when there’s too much light in a room, your pupils get smaller, not bigger.” According to Garrison, “Dilated pupils like this can be from a wide variety of reasons, but it’s not just something that happens,” and likely culprits include medication for something like incontinence, Parkinson’s disease, or seizures.

I didn’t say you personally voted for him, I said you elected him, thus the importance of knowing how to read
and yes you did elect him
you guys bomb countries, kill innocent fishermen, steal ressources, kidnap presidents
but god forbid I tell you Donald Trump is your president, that would be “negative”
NO, not everyone in this country fucking ELECTED HIM you dumb mf. Thats the fucking point of having an election. I’m sure I could look up wherever you are from and find some government crimes in your history. Enjoy living in a place where you have the privilege of being able to openly judge an entire country of people, regardless of who they are or who they support or what their choices are, without backlash from your peers. Nobody in America gets away with that kind of shit unless you are a Trump supporter. The rest of us that are stuck fighting this in our hometown (not bitching about it from your safe space) and we don’t allow that kind of talk or even that way of thinking into our social circles. Not that you would know the first about actual Americans living in actual hell right now. Fuck you. Fuck you so much.
