Dr. John Paul Garrison, a clinical and forensic psychologist specializing in body language cues, noted a recent moment of confusion by President Donald Trump and found it problematic.

A video of Trump went viral this week after he appeared to salute his Marine One helicopter. Typically, when Trump boards Marine One, two Marines stand on either side of the stairs. Presidents typically salute them in return. Trump returned the salute, but no one was standing there saluting in the first place.

"So, if you notice in the background, there is a construction worker back there. He is not positioned where President Trump is going to be looking in a minute, but I do want to acknowledge that there is somebody back there," the doctor said. "And down at the bottom of the hill there, it appears that those might be police or something similar. Some sort of law enforcement appears to be at the bottom of the hill."

Trump appears to wave at the law enforcement, then looks up and off into the distance. However, the camera pans out, there's no one else around.

"Now, Reuters has said that he was waving at construction workers. They have a photograph that is captioned that. So, it is possible maybe that there's some back there. I can't see them when the camera pulls back," he acknowledges.

"So, to do it twice is peculiar behavior," the doctor noted. "Obviously, it's more peculiar if absolutely nobody's there, but it would be surprising if he waved at them and then did it again shortly afterward. So, as the camera pulls back, we can clearly see that there doesn't appear to be anybody else unaccounted for in the frame."

He said that this is something that is known to happen with people who have a neurodegenerative disease and people who have dementia.

"They misinterpret their environment around them. Sometimes they see things that aren't there. But something like this could happen from neurodegenerative problems," Garrison explained. "It's also impossible that this is socially inappropriate behavior because somebody was way far away and couldn't even see him. Maybe he thought that they could. There could be misunderstandings about how the world around him is functioning."

He said it's something he intends to keep an eye on.

Then there was an incident in Dalton, Georgia. In the video, Trump leaves the stage as his Village People song plays. The limousine known as "The Beast" is parked and the doors are open, ready for him. He appears to walk past it and toward an open field. Secret Service agents scramble, ushering him toward the car.

"This is the type of behavior you would expect for someone who is dealing with dementiadementia, who's dealing with Alzheimer's type dementia or vascular dementia potentially," Garrison explained. "There's a wide variety of different issues that could contribute to this kind of behavior. But this type of wandering off, the lack of social awareness, all of those do seem like they are related to some form of neurological decline."

Finally, Garrison talks about the clash Trump had with Independent reporter Andrew Feinberg. The agitation was evident, he noted and as people grow more advanced in dementia they tend to struggle regulating their emotions.

"He doesn't know how to control these strong feelings he's having," Garrison said.

Clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. John Paul Garrison posted a new video analyzing President Donald Trump's body language during an Oval Office event with his "Make America Healthy Again" appointees at a White House Rose Garden gathering this week.

Garrison, who goes by the nom de guerre "Dr. G" on his YouTube channel, identified Trump's unusual behavior at recent events that has the doctor scratching his head.

First, in the Oval Office, Garrison said that Trump appeared to be dozing off again as Robert Kennedy praised him. When he then opens his eyes again, Trump appears "disoriented."

"Watch this again," Garrison replays. "He's going to fall asleep many times throughout this and I know I've shown videos of him falling asleep before, but I think the fact that this is happening in the middle of the day in a bright room full of people is so, so concerning."

"You can notice his breathing is starting to change. And as you can see, he's trying to reorient himself after he wakes up," Garrison continued. "Now, as you can see, as he's getting tired again, you're noticing this side of his mouth is starting to droop down."

Garrison also noted that his analysis is "not a psychological evaluation of any kind." He said he's merely using his knowledge to speculate on what could be happening with the president's health.

"So the big question is: why is he falling asleep? Is it related to health issues?" he questioned. "Is it related to neurological issues? Is it related to medication? Because as I talked about in the last video, if he's potentially having a seizure, he could be on anti-seizure medication and that can have sedating effects. So, it's possible if he's being treated for seizures, that could result in something like this."

One past observation from Cabinet officials has been that Trump will call them at all hours of the night. Previous reports about "bizarre sleep habits" and his daughter-in-law said it could be a reason he has trouble staying awake during the day.

Garrison doesn't think that it's enough of a reason for why Trump would be falling asleep "in the middle of a meeting like this with all of the lighting, all of the reporters. That really is not an adequate explanation."

The doctor also said he's seeing a continuing pattern of repeated involuntary spasms and jerking movements. There is also some verbal slurring and confusion. He then noticed that Trump kept looking down at his right hand.

"He's not wearing a watch, by the way, I checked. You can see very clearly, later on, he is not wearing a watch," said Garrison. "Him looking at his right hand is not unique. He has been doing this repeatedly over the past few meetings. So, there's something going on. Whether it's that he's had an injection in his right hand, whether there's bruising there, he continues to look at it over and over again."

Finally, he pointed out that the more emotional Trump gets about something, the more he appears to slur his words. A female reporter asked him if he would be willing to drop a nuclear weapon on Iran.

Trump claimed, "I would never say that," and then said that he would not do it. Then he attacked the reporter for a "stupid question."

"When he starts getting more emotional, his language skills start to fall apart more. We've seen this very consistently.
When he gets agitated, when he gets angry, he has a much harder time articulating himself," Garrison observed.

In the meeting in the Rose Garden, Garrison said that Trump "doesn't seem to know where to look anymore. Part of what President Trump used to always do is he used to always actually have great eye contact."

Now, the doctor said it appears Trump is looking "all over the place" and "appear[s] confused once anybody speaks for more than a few seconds."

Garrison noticed that all of the business people are looking at Trump in the face, but the president is looking down and away.

"It's very, very peculiar behavior. There is most definitely something very, very wrong right now," he said.

Then there are the jerking motions, Garrison saw.

"The more agitated people are, the more exhausted they are, the more likely you're going to see these neurological quirks like that right there," said the doctor. "Again, I know I've pointed this out many times, but it's so important that you see how frequently this happens. Whether or not this by itself could be some sort of myoclonic seizure activity or something else. We are seeing these involuntary neurological spasms over and over again."

As President Donald Trump hits the campaign trail, he's inadvertently revealing some of his biggest physical and emotional problems to his audiences.

One such viewer is clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. John Paul Garrison, who has been doing his own analysis based on his observations of the president. Known as "Dr. G." on social media, Garrison frequently analyzes nonverbal communication, detailing social and physical cues that alert him to possible health concerns.

Looking at the rally Trump held in Nebraska, Garrison said he noticed "Trump's increase in impulsivity as well as his poor judgment."

That opinion comes from the comment Trump made offering up cities like Los Angeles and San Diego as possible nuclear targets for Iran. The comment exploded across the internet and the political class as they questioned whether it would have been a "joke" if former President Barack Obama had said about places like Oklahoma and Alabama.

These impulse control issues are all part of what Garrison says "are the physical manifestations of [Trump's] decline."

"We've seen him slurring words. We've seen his arm spasming over and over again. And what we're going to be looking at today is significantly poor judgment," he prefaced.

Trump's comments to allow American foes to "take out" LA and San Diego "not only demonstrate impulsivity but severely poor judgment. And that's exactly what we look for when someone is experiencing neurological decline. I've been showing you a lot of physical manifestations."

Earlier this week, Garrison explained the slack-jaw problems Trump has suffered from that make it difficult to pronounce words properly. He finds that these vocal flubs come at or after a jerking motion Trump's body appears to make.

"But the judgment is also getting much, much worse," Garrison said.

Trump's White House tried to deflect the criticism by deploying the usual claim that it's "just a joke" and that the "left can't take a joke."

"There was nothing body language-wise that would suggest that he was joking," Garrison said. "There was no smile. He wasn't looking around at the audience and laughing or putting his arms up or doing anything that would make you believe that what he said was a joke. This goes to show how impaired his decision-making abilities are because he seems to think that's an acceptable loss. A small price to pay to put it in his words."

He confessed that he found it more terrifying that the audience seemed to find it acceptable to nuke two of America's large cities.

The second clip brings Natalie Harp on stage with him. She's become controversial lately after a book detailed her obsession with Trump that unnerved his chief of staff and members of the Secret Service.

Garrison said another sign Trump is having trouble regulating his behavior is that he has "over-the-top reactions," says words "too loudly" and "reacts more than he intends to because he's not able to inhibit it as well as used to."

"Another thing that we saw is that he was having a hard time putting his hand in his jacket to get his pen because he has a hard time controlling his right hand," Garrison added.

So, he brings out Harp as if he wants to show her off, Garrison explained. "And there's something he says at the end that shows that that's actually factually exactly how he's thinking about this. But to him, this is exactly what he wants. He wants somebody to come and present this to him. He wants this to be a spectacle. And given all of the talk about Natalie Harp, this is an extremely poor idea"

Ironically, Trump makes a backhanded comment about former President Joe Biden, saying that he could "never sign anything." What Garrison sees, however, is that while Trump is signing the order, he's struggling to "keep his mouth closed and his jaw keeps shifting to the left."

Then when Harp walked away it appeared he was "checking her out, which once again shows impulsivity and extreme lack of judgment."

Garrison went on to talk about Trump's increase in agitation when he's confronted by reporters questioning his assertions with facts, like his claims of widespread voter fraud.

One of the biggest drawbacks of President Donald Trump on the campaign trail is that he puts his health on full display for the American people.

The Daily Beast Substack pointed to photos and videos of Trump traveling around the U.S., "slumped, with eyes drooped, and his body sagging."

As psychiatrists, body language experts, a neurologist and a geriatric expert have noticed, his mind appears to be slipping.

"He has become confused during on-stage rants, mixing up the names of people he is attacking or losing the thread of what he was talking about," the Beast pointed out.

At the Friday night rally, convicted abuser Mike Tyson stood on stage with Trump as he spiraled down his dream of winning eight Nobel Prizes and taking over Greenland.

The Beast pointed out that convincing the world that Trump "is still lucid" will be a heavy lift for the new press secretary.

At one point at a Nebraska event, Trump appeared to "get lost" trying to leave the stage. This came after Trump mixed up Brazil with India.

He then flashed his jacket open, showing that despite years of railing against overseas manufacturers, it turns out Trump is wearing one. Instead of tailored suits made with the highest quality for a billionaire, Trump was sporting Jos. A. Bank. Even "Saturday Night Live" mocked the brand as cheaper than paper towels in a fake commercial a few years ago.

This week he also had a meltdown over the crowd sizes at his rallies. Despite claiming that the place was filled to the brim with excited supporters, photos and videos show that Trump couldn't fill all of the seats at the Butler High School gym in Vandalia, Ohio.

"Of course, he meant to fill empty seats, but his dilapidated logic was dwarfed by the sheer hysteria and venom of receiving such a sad crowd," wrote former conservative Jennifer Rubin for The Contrarian this week.

When he then appeared at his campaign stop in Mobile, Alabama, he complained about the New York Times reporting on the lackluster rally sizes, saying that he'd "MAXED OUT" the crowd in Ohio.

Psychologist Dr. John Paul Garrison has been doing his own analysis based on his observations of the president from the rallies. Known as "Dr. G." on social media, Garrison frequently analyzes nonverbal communication, detailing social and physical cues that alert him to possible health concerns.

Garrison said in a video this week that these impulse control issues are "the physical manifestations of [Trump's] decline."

President Donald Trump's first appearance after Republicans suffered a huge loss at the polls left one doctor scratching his head after he made some strange gestures.

Dr. John Paul Garrison, a clinical and forensic psychologist and body language expert, caught the moment and zoomed in on Trump's arm movements. He's noted this before about Trump; at times, it truly appears as if Trump doesn't have full control of his limbs and mouth.

When his ballroom construction crew gives him a hard hat, "we're seeing him engage in some strange behavior in his mouth as well as his arms. All of it appears to be involuntary," Garrison said.

"His behavior before and after gives me no indication that that was a voluntary behavior. And as I've talked about many times, there can be multiple reasons for something like this," he explained. "Whether it's a focal aware seizure, whether it's something related to some form of dementia or vascular dementia or something similar, or whether it's related to scarring in the brain after a stroke, there are a wide variety of neurological reasons we might see something like this."

Garrison began the video by cracking a joke that since it was Trump's first speech after his huge midterm loss, he talked about unifying America. Garrison then noted he was kidding; Trump only talked about his ballroom. Typically, when Trump talks about his construction and craft projects, he is excited, but in the speech Wednesday he was fairly low-energy.

"Now, if you've watched my channel before, you've probably seen that I've talked extensively about his apparent neurological decline," Garrison said. "And part of that is having limited insight, having poor judgment, being grandiose. And this right here, what we're observing right here, speaks to all of those."

The psychologist said that Trump rambling about columns shows just how bad his judgment is. Which, Garrison said, is the main reason he's been doing these videos.

"He may neurologically be incapable of having good judgment at this point," he said. "And that's part of the point I'm trying to make with all of these other videos is that while his behavior is absurd, some of it may be that there is dysfunction that's so bad he's not capable of making better decisions at this point. It certainly doesn't excuse any of this behavior, but hopefully helps you make sense of how it could be so profoundly absurd."

Garrison noted that even if the event was scheduled before the historic election losses, it doesn't change that this being Trump's first remarks shows "how poor his judgment is and his inability to think through critical situations, his inability to use critical thinking at all."

President Donald Trump's closing speech on the eve of the midterms was widely derided as an unfocused mess and, according to one psychologist, was also littered with signs of his ongoing decline, including an alarming instance in which he appeared to drift off while standing.

Trump delivered his closing message for the midterms on Monday afternoon in front of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. It quickly became apparent to many viewers that the president was not interested in staying on message, talking about his troubled renovation of the pool for at least the first 10 minutes, and failing to even mention the midterms within the first 20. Some also noted how exhausted and haggard he seemed after a month of traveling for rallies.

Dr. John Paul Garrison is a clinical and forensic psychologist with a specialty in body language, who also makes a series of YouTube videos in which he uses his professional insights to examine the behavior of public figures. Many of his recent videos have concerned Trump, with Garrison suggesting that the president is suffering a severe decline, possibly accelerated by a stroke.

In his latest video from Monday evening, Garrison examined the signs of Trump's continuing decline on display in the Reflecting Pool address, including a particularly "concerning" instance where he seemed to be falling asleep while standing up as he listened to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum speak.

"Now you're seeing him start to drift, but you're going to see him what I believe is fully fall asleep in just a minute," Garrison explained, adding later as Trump's eyes seemed to close fully. "I think that he is truly asleep."

"The fact that he's starting to nod off while he is standing is concerning," Garrison added. "In addition to that, the fact that he's able to wake up again so quickly suggests to me that there is some issue with his arousal system, that the pathways related to wakefulness are somehow disrupted, that there's something unusual about the way those are functioning right now."

At one point, Garrison highlighted Trump's attempt to clap after Burgum asked the audience to applaud for the U.S. Park Police, arguing that he appeared "barely conscious." He added that the president also seemed to drift in and out of sleep throughout the entire address from Burgum, as well as some involuntary spasms, an issue that has become increasingly prevalent during his public addresses.

Clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. John Paul Garrison, known as "Dr. G.," who frequently analyzes nonverbal communication, analyzed President Donald Trump's speeches over the past several days, including several "glitches" that point to the president's physical and mental decline.

Trump was in Nebraska on Monday, in Duncan, Oklahoma, and then in Ohio and Alabama prior to that. It's all part of Trump's MAGA blitz ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, where he hopes to encourage what's left of his coalition of supporters to support Republicans on Nov. 3.

The analysis details more of Trump's "speech, body language, facial movements, motor behavior and apparent difficulty producing certain words clearly" the video describes. It asks, "Are these simply ordinary verbal mistakes during long campaign speeches, or is there a broader pattern developing across Trump's recent public appearances?"

The first thing he noticed was the twitch of Trump's arm and he grimaced as if it was painful or unexpected.

"Now, if you're paying close attention, you may have seen his right arm spasm-ed and then his teeth clenched," said Garrison. "We're going to go back and watch this again, but we're seeing struggles with controlling his motor functioning. And this can be due to a variety of neurological conditions. It can be due to different kinds of neurological damage. We're actually going to get more into the specifics of that as we go, but I want to go back and I want to show you this again first."

During that same incident, Garrison said that it's clear that at the same time Trump is struggling to maintain his train of thought.

"I think he really felt that. I think he really recognized that something just happened and he's having a very hard time maintaining concentration and maintaining focus," said Garrison.

Trump's slurring words at the start of the Alabama where he appeared to say "thank yo" and struggled to pronounce "a place called Mobile." Garrison noted that the term for this is dysarthria, where muscles used for speech simply fail. The Mayo Clinic claims that a frequent cause can be "Nervous system and brain damage from conditions like strokes, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), traumatic brain injury or cerebral palsy."

"He's having a hard time controlling his mouth. Maybe a hard time controlling his lips and his jaw," Garrison explained. "And that's going to, at times, make words sound strange because these issues seem to be intermittent. In other words, they don't happen constantly. They only happen at times. Just like his right arm, which we've seen spasm over and over again. And incidentally, there are motor pathways that are related. So there could be a lesion in the brain that both affects the lower jaw, the mouth, and language production as well as motor functioning of the limbs because those are related."

That section of the speech continued with slurs and jumbled speech, and his arm seemed to twitch again.

Garrison said that brain lesions are most commonly caused by damage to the brain, such as a small stroke. That can leave a lesion.

"There could be damage and impairment in the pathways that deal with both the limbs and the mouth. So we might actually see clusters where we see both problems with language production as well as controlling the limbs. So it does make sense that we're seeing this at the same time," he said.

At one point, Trump corrected himself when he couldn't pronounce "pivotal." Garrison said that his body was spasm-ing as he was trying to speak, which made the word "pivotal come out completely wrong. And so he actually noticed it so much that he felt the need to correct it. He typically does not."

Garrison goes on to show more of Trump's twitching, this time in his full body. Even Trump seems to notice, with his eyebrows rising and his eyes widening.

In the next segment, the speech wasn't affected by the muscles in his mouth; it was about planning the words he would say next on the fly. When he doesn't know these words, Garrison said, Trump generally moves past it and fumbles through, covering by going off on another tangent.

At the Ohio rally, Trump appears to be more agitated and impulsive. Garrison said that he assumes Trump is like that all the time in private, but in public he's now struggling to keep a tighter grip on himself. As he continues to age, Garrison expects this will grow worse with the president lashing out in anger.

President Donald Trump is desperately trying to maintain a hold on his "authority" after the historic beating his party took in the midterms, according to one psychologist's analysis, with his efforts to do so in a recent Oval Office address coming across as "incoherent" as his decline continues.

Dr. John Paul Garrison is a clinical and forensic psychologist with a specialty in body language, who also makes a series of YouTube videos in which he uses his professional insights to examine the behavior of public figures. Many of his recent videos have concerned Trump, with Garrison suggesting that the president is suffering a severe decline, possibly accelerated by a stroke.

In his latest video, Garrison examined Trump's recent Oval Office address after the midterms, in which he signed an executive order designating the office as a landmark, meaning future administrations could not undo his redecoration efforts without congressional approval or another order reversing his own. Garrison noted that Trump continued to show "apparent neurological dysfunction" while struggling to communicate clearly, highlighting an "incoherent" attempt at sharing a "meaningless anecdote" about Chinese and British leaders supposedly complimenting the Oval Office during recent visits.

"As you could probably tell from his very brief and meaningless anecdote right there, President Trump struggles to get his points across and to communicate clearly if it's not written down for him," Garrison said.

Garrison further noted one sentence in particular where Trump was "entirely unable to articulate himself," with his coming out as a mumbled jumble, another potential sign that he is grappling with dementia.

"So, if you really listen to what he just said, those were fragments of ideas that truly do not belong together," Garrison explained. "What he's saying is basically incoherent. And this is something that we sometimes observe when people have dementia — as I've talked about before — someone has a stroke, and there's different types of lesions or scarring in the brain or something like that. There are a wide variety of reasons that people can struggle with something like this. But what we're observing is problems producing language, and we're also finding problems with him forming coherent thoughts and ideas. So we're seeing multiple layers of issues right here... We typically associate that with stress or anxiety. So it's very interesting to see right now, as he's talking about this, the blink rate is unusually high."

He added further: "Now he's been doing that at times when he was not actually reading off the page, and this goes back to the idea that he's struggling with eye contact, something else that we see as dementia progresses for a wide variety of reasons related to attention, poor social communication. There's a wide variety of reasons that eye contact becomes worse, but we're seeing his eye contact get dramatically worse."

Clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. John Paul Garrison, known as "Dr. G.," who frequently analyzes nonverbal communication, like body language, analyzed President Donald Trump's recent rallies, where he's begun insulting his own audience.

While in Tennessee campaigning for Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R), Trump told his audience, "There's such love. I mean. It's amazing. When you stand up here, it's just like…the love. I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap. 'Oh, I love you so—' It's true."

The audience laughed and clapped behind him.

Garrison noted that was remarkably similar to a previous incident in which Trump claimed, "We have an extremely high IQ audience for a change. For a change. It's very nice."

Garrison noted that it was ironic that his audience was "clapping after a thinly veiled insult, basically saying that they would clap for anything."

He noted that "You notice how at the end he said it's true because he's emphasizing the fact there is unconditional loyalty no matter what he says. Not surprisingly, he goes on to say that he doesn't say stupid things, but what this does is this is using authority and dominance, and framing it as humor. Just a really wild thing to watch."

When Trump began speaking about his renaming of lakes and portions of the ocean, Garrison said that he noticed Trump's jaw shift to the left.

"Sometimes we see that when people are either on stimulant medication or taking stimulants of some kind. But there can also be a neurological implication as well," Garrison said. "Right after he said Lake America, you saw it again. When he gets excited, we're more likely to see this."

"So, aside from the fact that something like a stimulant could affect this type of behavior, this can also be an impairment and motor functioning," he continued after watching the clip a few more times. "As we've seen, there are a lot of impairments in functioning of the arms and the face can also be connected with that. So, it's very possible that this is just all part of the same dysfunctional pathway, but right now it's expressing itself with this lateral jaw movement."

He noted that it happens fairly regularly.

At the rally, he seemed "more excited" than at other rallies, and more unusual behaviors stood out, increasingly "ridiculous and over the top."

Garrison said that it's an example of what happens when people struggle to inhibit their behavior.

As Blackburn spoke and Trump loomed behind her, Garrison noticed Trump close his eyes, open his mouth and move it around while keeping it open. Garrison said it could come from either his lack of awareness that he's being watched or his inability to inhibit his behavior.

"There's a very complex system of muscles around the mouth," Garrison explained. "So, sometimes we see dysfunction around the mouth when people have these sort of neurodegenerative diseases or when people are in neurological decline. They have a harder time controlling their tongue, sometimes a harder time controlling their jaw. But this type of behavior certainly seemed like something he was having a hard time controlling. Either that or he was feeling euphoric at the time, and I think that's less likely."

The odd part is that he's not only doing the funny things with his mouth, but his eyes are closed, and he's leaned back while doing it. Garrison said these tics pop up on days when he seems more energized and "almost manic."

"So, on nights like this he seems more emotionally dysregulated," said Garrison. "He seems more excitable but also seems more agitated. So, he just seems to be feeling more in general. And once again, when we see people with various dysfunctions neurologically, that's something that we look at, their ability to regulate their emotion, their ability to inhibit behaviors. And he seems to be struggling more and more with all of these because what we've seen in the past, obviously, he's made some wild remarks during rallies and made wild remarks publicly, but now they're getting clustered together in much greater concentration."

Perseveration is the word for repeating the same stories or topics over and over, as if he's stuck on them. Trump does it frequently, with "wild remarks" that are "getting clustered together in much greater concentration." The clip he was focused on was early in the speech.

When the audience begins supporting these things, Garrison said that it's reinforcing the behavior.

"So, as you could hear, the clapping was followed up by him getting more grandiose. And what gets scary about something like this is when you have someone with poor judgment who's not able to regulate their emotions, and when you have people around them saying, 'Yes, you're doing a great thing,' it could potentially lead him to making even worse decisions. So, even though this exact situation is at a rally, you could see something similar to this behind closed doors or with other people that agree with ideas that he has," Garrison explained.

President Donald Trump continues to show "highly concerning" signs of confusion and "seizure-like episodes" during public events, according to a psychologist who has been tracking his apparent symptoms, and things are not getting better.

Dr. John Paul Garrison is a clinical and forensic psychologist specializing in body language cues, who also produces numerous YouTube videos in which he uses his professional insights to examine the behavior of public figures. Many of his recent videos have concerned Trump, with Garrison suggesting that the president is suffering from unavoidable physical and cognitive decline, based on several recurring symptoms.

In his latest video, Garrison examined some of Trump's recent appearances, pointing out "more highly concerning behaviors" exhibited during them that tie into his "apparent neurological decline." He began with Trump's White House event related to an executive order on women's health, in which he appeared to suffer another of his seizure-like episodes, something that Garrison has noticed in an increasing number of his public addresses.

"I've shown something very similar a couple of times before where we saw activity go from his right arm to his eyes to his mouth to his left arm," Garrison explained. "Now, I've shown a wide variety of... neurological glitches, but this is the one that appears to be most seizure-like."

He added later: "Now, obviously, I have not personally evaluated President Trump, but what we are observing certainly appears like seizure activity. We're seeing it spread from one side of his body to his face to the other side. There are many different reasons that people can experience this kind of neurological dysfunction. A couple of examples being the effects of a stroke or vascular dementia."

Trump also appeared to begin speaking a bit faster after the apparent episode, which Garrison said was an emerging "pattern" related to these behaviors that he has noticed more and more lately.

Earlier in the event, Garrison highlighted Trump once again appearing to slip into "microsleeps," including when he appeared to be closing his eyes while someone else was speaking. This issue could also be exacerbated by his "absurdly short attention span," since he lately appears to struggle "to sustain attention for more than a few seconds unless he's the one talking."

Later, while examining a rally appearance Trump made in Kentucky, Garrison noted signs of confusion in his address, including in a segment where he was attempting to mock former President Joe Biden, mentioning a supposed gaffe where Biden seemed to think he was in Florida while visiting Maine, also mentioning "the palm trees all over the place."

"What he's talking about makes no sense because I've researched this. I can't find where this gaffe that he's claiming happened actually occurred. And on top of that, if he was in Maine, there wouldn't be palm trees. What he's saying really makes no sense... But even President Trump seems to be confused by his own story. He starts trailing off there. Doesn't seem to know what he's talking about."

President Donald Trump had a complete meltdown and lashed out at a reporter this week after he thought he received a question about his health, and now a psychologist has broken down what this behavior exposes about Trump's current condition.

Dr. John Paul Garrison is a clinical and forensic psychologist with a specialty in interpreting body language, who also shares numerous videos online using his professional insights to break down the behavior of notable public figures. In many of these videos, he has focused on Trump's public appearances, pointing out a growing number of signs that he is dealing with potentially significant physical and neurological decline.

In his latest video, he examined the viral footage of Trump blowing up at Reuters White House correspondent Jacob Bogage during a press scrum on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. Bogage asked the president if his decision to cancel a midterm rally in Kansas was because he was "sick of traveling," to which Trump exploded in anger, saying he was "sick to ask that question," demanding to know who he worked for and disparaging him for being overweight.

Many observers have since argued that Trump appeared to have misunderstood the question, assuming that Bogage was asking him if he was under the weather, with some further theorizing that this was a sign that his health has become a sore subject.

While discussing the clip, Garrison noted that the footage of Trump lashing out at Bogage exposed two behaviors that were "very telling."

"One is that he fully faced away from the reporter after answering that, and we do that as a way to disconnect," Garrison explained. "He does not want to be facing the reporter and disconnects from him after talking about his health. Second is that when speaking about his health, he said it's 'Good, I think very good.' Now, he doesn't typically use phrases like 'I think,' because it makes it sound weak. So, to respond that way, to me, says that there is some uncertainty there and some uncertainty about how to answer that question."

A short time later in the clip, Garrison noted how Trump corrected himself while saying something similar, further suggesting that his choice of words was telling.

"You notice he even corrected his own language right there. He started to say, 'I think we're going to have a good Tuesday night,' to just being more direct and saying, 'We're going to have a good Tuesday night,'" Garrison explained. "So it's very telling that he was using the phrase 'I think.'"

The immediacy of Trump's explosion at Bogage was also a sign worthy of concern, tying into a lack of emotional control that Garrison has noticed in his behavior recently.

"And you notice the anger is so immediate," he explained. "And this is what we've talked about is that the more challenges he has managing his emotions, the more you're going to see anger, agitation, confusion, frustration. Something like this is going to come out more and more."
