Dr Gartner told The Daily Beast that he arrived at the diagnosis by &ldquo; assessing someone against their own baseline.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Dr Gartner&rsquo;s diagnosis comes amid many cast doubts about Trump&rsquo;s speech during the Charlie Kirk memorial, wherein he veered off topic, from memorialising his close ally to suddenly, before suddenly launching into a soliloquy on tariffs, &ldquo;radical left maniacs,&rdquo; and the Make America Healthy Again movement.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Gartner said Trump used to be a very articulate person, and there is now a major deterioration in functioning in language, thinking, psychomotor performance, impulse control, and a whole variety of areas. &ldquo;He used to speak with a high level of vocabulary in very polished paragraphs. Now what we see is not only has his vocabulary gone down, but&hellip; there are times when he&rsquo;s really unable to complete a thought. Sometimes he&rsquo;s unable to complete a word,&rdquo; Gartner added.<\/p>\n<p>The psychologist also referred to Trump&rsquo;s tendency to go on tangents in the middle of his own sentences, pointing to the President&rsquo;s earlier remarks wherein he began talking about immigrants before ending up with a movie on &lsquo;The Silence of the Lambs&rsquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Gartner believes that Trump is a malignant narcissist, and his deterioration in his functioning would be a malicious combo. &ldquo;So that&rsquo;s what we started out [with] as a baseline, but now what we have is this chronic organic deterioration from his own baseline,&rdquo; Dr Gartner said adding that what they had now was &ldquo;worst of both worlds&rdquo;, because Trump &ldquo;was always bad, always impulsive, always a liar, but now he really is losing his ability to think clearly, to plan, to understand things and to inhibit his speech and his behavior.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>There is also a shrinkage in his psychomotor performance, which indicates &nbsp;frontotemporal dementia, pointing to Trump&rsquo;s &ldquo;wide-based gait&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you look at his right leg, sometimes he just swings it like a dead weight in a semicircle&hellip; the expert that I consulted with said this is what we call pathognomonic.
