Analysts Allege Donald Trump Suffers Rapid Mental and Physical Decline

National security analyst David Rothkopf and other critics allege that Donald Trump is experiencing a rapid decline in both physical and mental health. These claims cite symptoms including erratic behavior, a limited vocabulary, and an inability to remain awake during public functions.

Critics argue that White House handlers and family members are concealing this degradation to maintain their own power and financial interests. Specifically, some suggest that Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller or the president's sons may be seizing decision-making authority, effectively operating as a shadow government. One opinion piece compared the situation to a "Weekend at Bernie's presidency," where a small inner circle manages the administration without public knowledge or legal succession.

Parallel to these health concerns, former Republican operative Rick Wilson claims the president's political influence is waning. Wilson pointed to the defeat of Trump ally Mike Lindell in the Minnesota Republican primary as evidence that reliance on certain candidates has become a liability for the GOP, potentially benefiting Democrats in upcoming midterms.
