Donald Trump’s lengthy monologues about his construction projects have prompted a prominent psychologist to warn that he is showing growing signs of dementia and malignant narcissism—and it’s about to get worse.

Dr. John Gartner, a clinical psychologist and former assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, argues that Trump’s tendency to veer off into extended tangents about projects such as the White House Ballroom or the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is evidence of his cognitive decline.
