Doctor Who Wrote âGoldwater Ruleâ Says He Would Recommend Dementia Tests For Trump
An author of the 1973 American Psychiatric Association standard says it was never meant to stop doctors from expressing their opinions based on public information.
if he were Trumpâs doctor, he would order a full battery of tests to determine the cause of what he believes could be the former presidentâs dementia.
âHe seems to be progressively cognitively impaired,â said Allen Dyer, a retired George Washington University psychiatry professor.
Dyer said Trumpâs recent behavior warrants medical evaluation, like his apparent inability to remain focused on a single topic or string together complete sentences, for example, or his confusing of people, as he has repeatedly done with former House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. And more recently, his loss of interest in taking questions at his own campaign event, followed by a demand that his staff play some of his favorite songs while he stood onstage and swayed to the music.
âI find it concerning that he doesnât complete his sentences, seems to lose track of the question he is trying to answer, or avoid, and that one thought doesnât lead to another, but appears to veer tangentially off track,â Dyer said.
