Donald Trump 'may not finish White House term'

Donald Trump 'may not finish White House term' as ex-advisor notices 'cognitive decline'. A Republican political strategist has hinted that President Donald Trump may not complete his term due to potential cognitive issues.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, spoke to Times Radio, suggesting that Trump's behaviour indicates more than just senior moments. This follows Trump's recent psychological and physical assessment.

He stated: "He is incoherent. His inability to articulate any thought or position without constant asides, constant lapses, the verbal aphasias he is experiencing at various points." This comes after another former presidential advisor speculated that Trump might be suffering from syphilis.

Rick continued: "As a very close observer of Trump since 2015, I can tell you the man you're watching today is not the Trump of 2015, nor is he the Trump of 2020, he's not even the Trump of 2024.", reports the Mirror US.

The advisor pointed out that Trump's struggle to communicate is not unusual for his age. He added: "There is a decline in Trump's ability to communicate, there is a decline in Trump's ability to articulate his thoughts.

This is not uncommon when people get older."
Furthermore, Rick revealed that concerns about Trump's mental sharpness are not solely his, as other experts, without solid proof, suspect that Trump might actually be suffering from dementia, according to the Irish Star.

He elaborated: "There are an awful lot of professionals in the world who are looking at the same set of behaviours and saying 'This is what we see in early dementia cases'... this is what we see when there is a cognitive decline." Just circling the elephant on the cognitive test does not make Donald Trump free of suffering from the ravages of age and ill health."
