What a Geriatric Physician Told Me About Trump

Questions about Donald Trump's cognitive health have become a recurring topic in American politics. Supporters dismiss concerns as partisan attacks. Critics point to verbal slips, unusual statements, and changes in behavior. But what does a physician trained in aging actually look for?
In this video, I share what a geriatric physician told me about her observations. We examine normal aging, cognitive decline, the limitations of evaluating someone remotely, and why responsible analysis requires evidence rather than assumptions.
This is not a political attack or defense but an attempt to see clearly.
