'Mad king': Experts sound alarm that Trump's 'diseased mind' makes him easy to manipulate
If Donald Trump wins back the presidency in 2024, the so-called "resistance" won't be able to mobilize coherently enough to stop the “shock and awe” campaign he will visit upon the American people, and his increasing difficulties in cognition, language and memory will make his presidency even more dangerous.
That's according to a range of experts speaking to Salon's Chauncey DeVega, one of whom was Dr. John Gartner, a prominent psychologist and contributor to the bestselling book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President."
“Not enough people are sounding the alarm that, based on his behavior, and in my opinion, Donald Trump is dangerously demented," Gartner said. "In fact, we are seeing the opposite among too many in the news media, the political leaders and among the public."

"There is also this focus on Biden's gaffes or other things that are well within the normal limits of aging. By comparison, Trump appears to be showing gross signs of dementia. This is a tale of two brains. Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing," Gartner added.
Other medical professionals speaking to Gartner agree that Trump's apparent mental and emotional challenges will only get worse as time goes on — leading to a scenario where Trump has assumed the role of both dictator and "mad king."
"In total, there will be a horrific synergy between an American pathocracy and how the worst people seek political power and a leader who appears to have a diseased mind — which makes Trump easily manipulated by individuals and forces who are even more malevolent and dangerous than he is," DeVega writes.
According to DeVega, documents such as Project 2025, Agenda 47 and others show that the infrastructure is currently being set up to put Trump's "neofascist plans to end multiracial pluralistic democracy in effect," starting on the first day of his presidency.
