What the experts told lawmakers
The full statement, titled "Medical Concerns About President Donald J. Trump and His Fitness for Office," details what the signers describe as observable warning signs. They cite a "marked deterioration in cognitive functioning" and "grandiose and delusional beliefs" that they say have emerged or worsened over time. Because the president remains commander in chief, they argue, those issues create unique risks and justify urgent action. The statement urges that "steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency" and notes that the text has been entered into the official record, according to the Congressional Record. PDF, page 58.
Who signed it
The submission is backed by 36 physicians and mental health professionals, including neurologists, forensic psychiatrists and other specialists. The roster includes clinicians from Harvard, Columbia, Tufts and George Washington, along with figures such as Eric Chivian, a co-founder of IPPNW and a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The signers, the statement notes, span a range of political views and professional backgrounds, and their full names and institutional affiliations are listed alongside the filing. That complete signatory list appears with the Whitehouse/Reed submission in the printed record, which details each expert and their institutional ties.

36 Doctors Just Staged the Quietest Coup in American History
The press looked away for a reason.

May 7, 2026
Marked deterioration in cognitive functioning. (Watch any interview for receipts.)
Disorganized speech. (Trump calls this the weave. Neurologists call this tangentiality.)
Factual confusions. (Mixing up Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Mixing up Vance with Rubio.)
Episodes of apparent somnolence during critical public proceedings. (Falling asleep every time Rubio speaks.)
Grandiose and delusional beliefs. (Believing he is Jesus or the Pope, depending on the sundown hour.)
Severely impaired judgment. (Ones that we are paying for in an estimated $1T war.)
Disinhibition and perseveration. (If I hear that Hannibal Lecter story one more time, I will eat my arm.)
Manic behavior. (One hundred and fifty social media posts in a single night.)
The 36 were concerned enough to invoke the Declaration of Geneva the post-Nuremberg successor to the Hippocratic Oath, which was written specifically because doctors at Nuremberg argued they had only been following orders. They concluded that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be the President of the United States, and that steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency.

But over the last few months, it has occurred to me that, for all the hype about generative AI systems hallucinating, we pay much less attention to the fact that the current President does the same thing, nearly every day. The more you look at the way Donald Trump spews utter nonsense answers to questions, the more you begin to recognize a clear pattern he answers questions in a manner quite similar to early versions of ChatGPT. The facts dont matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate.

This is not the response of someone working from actual knowledge or policy understanding. Instead, its precisely how an LLM operates: taking a prompt (the question about job losses) and generating text based on some core parameters (the system prompt that requires deflecting blame and asserting greatness).
The hallmarks of AI generation are all here:
Confident assertions without factual backing
Meandering diversions that maintain loose semantic connection to the topic
Pattern-matching to previous responses (ripped off, billions of dollars)
Optimization for what sounds good rather than whats true
Dunno anything that can save him from the Gallos, Ernest and Julio.

A precursor to today's word salads from The Felon and others of his ilk.

(43,453 posts)On "buzzspeak" at a corporation for which I worked. There were around 100 people at the regional office of this giant corporation which you've all McHeard of, and we had this giant copy machine which kicked out the copies in seconds. Rarely got jammed. I wrote it in my spare time (hah!) and secretly distributed it to every desk in the office at night, after everyone had gone home.
My subtitle to "Buzzspeak" was "all the corporate lingo you need to know!" It was full of trite sayings like "outside the box" and "face time." Articles on how to use them and "upcoming buzzwords you'll want to use!"
It was satiric, needless to say.
However, people thought it was real. Imagine me on the elevator, listening to people seriously talk about my articles. I could barely disguise my smirk.
p.s. if only I'd had the buzz phrase generator!!

That's one thing we don't need to worry about, imnsho. Nobody could convincingly fake ALL of this. Furthermore, I don't think he's ever really been faking, in either of his presidential terms. (Before that, or at least before he started that nonsense over Obama's birth certificate, the dude was not on my radar, so I have nothing to base an opinion on there.)
During his first term, I can remember many times when people were trying to make sense of his words and actions and theorizing that he was playing some kind of 3 dimensional chess, that he had some kind of master plan underlying all his actions. I said that was horsefeathers at the time, and I still stand by that.
It's true that he was not as dangerously incompetent in 2017 as he is now, but he has always exhibited very obvious symptoms of having at least a couple of severe personality disorders (narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder) in addition to not being exceptionally bright (to put it as gently as possible, lol). Imo, there was nothing he did during the first term that could not be explained by those factors, which had already led him to make a lot of bad decisions, mistreat others, etc., since long before he was president. Once he was potus, all of that was on full public display and subject to media scrutiny in ways it never had been before. A lot of eyebrows were raised on many occasions, but he was still glib enough and mentally agile enough to keep the wool pulled over the eyes of his base. Even after J6, he still had many diehard supporters who continued to believe he could do no wrong.
During the 4 years he was out of the WH, he exhibited more and more signs that aging was taking a toll (such as repeatedly falling asleep during his trial for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels), but he wasn't in the spotlight nearly to the extent he was as potus, so he...got by.
Once he took office and was back in the full glare of the spotlight, he began to exhibit problematic behavior that many people refused or chose not to take seriously. The signs of dementia gradually began to take hold in a way that noticeably pointed to the fact that he wasn't just getting older but was losing his cognitive abilities in a way that was very concerning.
Those who did not want to recognize those signs continued to deny them, but reality does not dance to the tune of those who want to ignore it. He has continued to get worse and worse and will continue to do so, because that's how dementia works. To paraphrase Dr. John Gartner, the Trump you see before you right now is the best one you will ever see, because he will, inexorably, continue to decline. We're already seeing what can happen when you combine the grandiosity of NPD and the sadism and lack of scruples of APD with the disinhibition and increasing childishness of dementia, and it's pretty damned terrifying. The guy is not faking anything. He is genuinely confused, disoriented, and irrational.
I am grateful to these doctors for issuing that statement and hope and pray it will have some impact. I don't yet know if there as been any response whatsoever, as I didn't get online until this afternoon, and I'm not holding my breath. But I am going to hope, at least a little bit, because that's the only thing I have left.
Sorry, this has gotten so long. I know I tend to be verbose at times and hope I haven't put anyone to sleep.

(7,917 posts)Stephen Miller, in particular, IMO. trump will die before they will admit his dementia. Why admit it? Everyone can see it, and anyone with two cents worth of intelligence knows trump isn't the one making the decisions that affect us, the country, and the world. Those are being made by the Tech Bros, the multimillionaires and their corporations, and people like Miller. Taking out trump won't change a thing. The whole show will go on, because trump doesn't control anything, in reality.

The people in the cabinet share many of the Donald's qualities, minus the age-related ones. All of them are not fit to be in the positions they occupy. Just watch one of them in an interview and it is obvious to any informed, aware person that something is not right with them. they cannot be expected to do the right thing!!!

Stuff like this gets written, and I can't figure exactly what role in which he is portrayed. (To anyone with a clue, the antichrist)
but this turned up inside:
President Trump is advancing a prophetic process that will usher inwhen the time comes the rebuilding of the Third Temple
And I just HAVE to think that he's building a "Temple West" a.k.a. his "ballroom" as HIS OWN throne room.
Just as only a supreme court can "forgive" his crimes, his most "petty" crimes, only God (Trump himself) can forgive the most hideous of crimes, raping children.

Anyway, does the idea of a "Third Temple Ballroom" fit the totally deranged shit going down?
Asking for a friend.
It just gets crazier and crazier and therein lies the answer: now there is even more crazy, insane, off the wall actions to which to refer.
The Cheebus thing put it over the top.
Quite frankly, if nothing is done, those who can take action and don't are nearly as crazy as he is. And they are a danger to the world.

(9,200 posts)Maybe we should start a pole as to how long it'll be before they have their "weekend at Donnie's" with him.
My guess is they'll want to prop him up to as close to the election as they can, unless he becomes too big a drag on the Congressional races.
At that point he may have a major health issue, and be carted off with a big show of sympathy about how he gave his all for the country until his health gave out. And it was all the hate the radical left projected onto him that did him in.
Some right wing preacher will talk about how he suffered for his country, and liken it to the suffering of Jesus.
