Ariana Biao – The Independent April 17, 2026
Ty Cobb, an attorney who served as White House counsel during President Donald Trump’s first term, once again raised alarm bells at the president’s cognitive decline, claiming it has “accelerated” and that Trump now shows signs of dementia.
Cobb, who has repeatedly raised similar concerns about Trump, told MS NOW’s Ari Melber Thursday that Trump, 79, “is somebody who is just lost.”
“His vocabulary has shrunk, he’s resorted to profanity and threats, totally impulsive– suggestive of the absence of any frontal lobe controls,” Cobb said.
Trump’s recent tangents during press conferences and meetings, which are sometimes completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, combined with his outraged Truth Social posts, including a recent threat to wipe out all of the Iranian civilization, have sparked conversation about the president’s cognitive health.
“He doesn’t understand this at all, any more than Joe Biden had difficulty getting off stage and finding the exit,” the former Trump attorney added.
In response to Cobb’s comments, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said, “Ty Cobb should immediately seek psychiatric help to treat his severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and he should also shave that caterpillar off his face.”
“President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and other lunatics intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people,” Ingle added.
The president has long been known for going on tangents and boasting about his accomplishments, but has recently been accused of falling asleep during televised meetings, steering off topic more frequently, going on social media rants late at night and using vulgar language to attack opponents – sometimes former allies.
“It’s much different. It’s definitely accelerated,” Cobb said of the president’s mental decline compared to his first term.
Trump’s behavior has always been unlike that of other former presidents, who typically take the high road when insulted or are more thoughtful and calculated when issuing a statement.
But Cobb pointed to several examples of Trump’s unhinged posts as signs of a mental decline – such as claiming he was “glad” former FBI Director Robert Mueller was dead; insinuating the director Rob Reiner was murdered because of his opposition to Trump; and attacking Pope Leo XIV for not supporting the Iran war.
“One of the classic symptoms of Alzheimer’s is the sleep-wake reversal. So we see these screeds coming out at 4 a.m. and we see him falling asleep at Cabinet meetings at mornings and afternoons. That’s a classic symptom of dementia,” Cobb, who is not a physician, said.
Cobb’s latest comments echo similar concerns raised by former Trump allies, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Democratic opponents, such as Rep. Jamie Raskin, doctors, such as Dr. Vin Gupta and even the president’s own family – such as his niece, Mary L. Trump.
Greene, a former staunch Trump ally who has become one of his most vocal critics recently, declared the president had “gone insane” after he posted a message on Easter threatening to take out the Iranian civilization.
“I think we have to truly question the mental stability of any president that threatens to wipe out an entire civilization,” Greene told CNN.
Democrats threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, believing his Easter message was a sign that the president’s cognitive acuity had rapidly declined.
The White House and Trump allies have defended the president’s mental and physical abilities, consistently assuring people he is extremely healthy and denying reports suggesting otherwise
“President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the past four years,” Ingle told the New York Times.
“He’s very, very sane,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told members of Congress Friday.
But members of Congress, led by Raskin, have recently asked White House Physician Sean Barbabella to evaluate Trump’s cognitive fitness.
Earlier this month, Gupta, a physician who serves as MS NOW’s senior medical analyst, said the president was “exhibiting all the signs of dementia.”
“Erratic. Can’t finish sentences. Often confused. Illogical train of thought. Word finding difficulties. Developing and worsening gradually over time. The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia,” Gupta wrote.
When a reporter asked Trump about his critics who have raised concerns about his mental health, Trump responded: “I haven’t heard that. But if that’s the case, you’re going to have to have more people like me.”
THE UK GOVERNMENT HAS ANOUCED IT WILL BE SELLING WAR BONDS
do not fall for the scam
FIRST WORLD WAR BONDS
Subject: WAR BONDS At the outbreak of W W 1 the government said that the people of the UK responded with fervour and monetary war targets were met of raising £350 million ( about £37 billion in todays money) and from the public donations for its war loans
At the outbreak of W W 1 the government said that the people of the UK responded with fervour and monetary war targets were met of raising £350 million ( about £37 billion in todays money) and from the public donations for its war loans scheme a further £250 milion.
However research from secret ledgers held in the Bank of England showed that this was a huge lie and that not only was the scheme to raise money from the public a total failure but the government colluded with the banks on faking up documents and signing what they knew to be false.
John Gordon Nairne who was head of the Bank of England from 1902 to 1918 swore on oath that the money had been raised from the people under the ” Statutory Declarations act”
The government in order to wring the money out of the people embarked on a vicious trail of lies about Germany and its intentions, with Winston Churchill at its head, and even with this less than a third of public money targets were met, as the public just did not see the need for them to be involved in a war, an excuse had to be found and the government settled on the murder of the archduke of Sarajevo by a jewish fanatic,
but the people had never even heard of Sarajevo and were not interested in going to war for some one and a place they had never heard of,
hence all the newspaper propaganda.
Nairne and Ernest Harvey purchased the remaining war bonds in their own names with the Banks own money, under the orders of lord Rothschild, this was all hidden up under the title of other securities.
Norma Cohen a researcher and whistleblower at Queen Mary college Uni in London, said this is the first time government dishonesty about the war had been divulged, had this come out at the time it would have meant a propaganda victory for Germany and a collapse at home of public
moral.
Mark Stephens of Howard and kennedy solicitors has said had the banking fraud come to light both Nairne and Harvey would have gone to prison,
Such a lack of response was seen by the public that the interest had to be raised from 3.5 % to 5.4% on the war bonds.
Benjamin Disraeli the first Jewish Prime minister of the UK was finessed into office by Rothschild to ferment the basis of the war,
and documents in the vault show that we fought the war primarily for Rothschild, and he loaned us a lot of money at huge interest to pay for it.
If the puppet wasn’t following his script, he’d be JFK’d
Guess what? The king has no clothes!!!
No one has any sympathy,
He’s been a right TWAT all his life.
“His vocabulary has shrunk, he’s resorted to profanity and threats, totally impulsive” .. None of that is anything new with Zion Don the Con. That reeking shit stain has always had a stunningly limited vocabulary, has always sputtered rambling horseshit, has always been a vulgar megalomaniac, a low-rent gangster, a sleazebag and a shit salesman with a mouthful of samples…deserving of getting his tongue nailed to a tree stump, wads of pig shit stuffed in his mouth, worked over with claw hammers, and jack-hammered in his poop-chute with a giant unlubed and rough-hewn wooden fist.
How far does it have to go, till people figures out that “democracy” IS the problem. Incompetent, gullible masses without the faintest idea, get to decide on which psychopath is going to destroy their life.
It is absolutely fucking retarded..
It the fake-jew concept “democracy” mentioned even ONCE in the American constitution?
-of course NOT.
oh please come back mr hitler and sort the jews out
“‘Erratic. Can’t finish sentences. Often confused. Illogical train of thought. Word finding difficulties. Developing and worsening gradually over time. The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia,’ Gupta wrote. ”
What does it matter? They could be a chimpanzee there and it would not change anything because the President is just a puppet.
