Donald Trump has been seen repeatedly falling asleep in court during his hush money trial, with a psychologist now saying his behaviour is something that is very common with dementia patients.
Donald Trump 's 'ability to maintain basic functions' in court has raised questions, with one psychologist linking the former president's behaviour to symptoms of dementia.
Dr Gartner, who taught psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University Medical School for 28 years, considered Trump's sleeping episodes in court as highly unusual and in need of an explanation. He said he's spoken with numerous legal colleagues and found that none had ever witnessed such an occurrence throughout their careers.
Daniels claimed she had an affair with Trump in 2006 in Nevada, which could have damaged his successful 2016 presidential campaign. Garter explained: "He knows this is serious. The one thing Donald Trump fears more than anything else is to look weak or to look like a loser. He knows that falling asleep in court makes him look weak."
