Doctors Speak Out On Trump's Decline | The Daily Beast Podcast

In this special episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, Joanna Coles speaks with Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Bruce Davidson about the alarming signs they believe point to Donald Trump’s physical and cognitive decline, from garbled speeches and late-night posting frenzies to what Davidson argues are visible symptoms of a past stroke. The two doctors break down Trump’s increasingly erratic public behavior, explosive decision-making, obsession with personal glorification, and troubling verbal confabulations, while warning about the risks of unchecked power in the hands of a president they believe is rapidly deteriorating. Drawing on decades of medical experience and years of closely tracking Trump’s behavior, Gartner and Davidson deliver a chilling analysis of the man currently commanding America’s military and political future.
