Gary Fred Marcus, a well-known psychologist and cognitive scientist, has recently raised serious concerns about Donald Trump. On social media, he pointed out some strange behaviors and comments made by Trump that suggest he may be facing significant brain issues. Marcus stated, “In just the last 24 hours, I have seen 4 signs of brain damage and/or degeneration in Trump.”

These worrying observations raise concerns about Trump’s ability to lead the country well. Gary Marcus noticed that Trump showed motor deficits, meaning he swayed and stumbled while walking. This kind of unsteady movement can suggest problems with balance and coordination, which might be linked to brain issues. Marcus also pointed out that Trump had moments where he lost coherence, making strange pauses and gestures, similar to what he has done before.

Another worrying behavior noted by Marcus is that Trump seems to have trouble controlling his actions. This was clear when Trump threatened Liz Cheney, who is also a Republican, with violence. Such threatening actions are serious warnings and can mean that he has problems with impulse control and thinking clearly. Marcus also pointed out a moment when Trump called Elon Musk “good at computer,” which shows he struggles to express his thoughts properly. These observations create a troubling picture of Trump’s mental health.
The media needs to pay attention to these warnings. If a presidential candidate shows signs of mental decline, the public must know about it. Gary Marcus has asked why the media isn’t talking more about these serious concerns. This brings up the issue of responsibility in news reporting. People have the right to know if their leaders are healthy enough to serve.
Many of Trump’s supporters say these worries are just political attacks. But it’s important to understand that mental health problems can happen to anyone, no matter what party they belong to. When a leader has trouble with their thinking, it can cause big problems. Bad mental health can lead to poor choices, and those choices can affect everyone in the country.
