Recent events clearly demonstrate that Trump is mentally unstable.
The frenzy of activity emanated from the White House so far, in the first weeks of 2026, has been dizzying.
  • Just yesterday, President Trump announced a new round of tariffs on eight of America's European allies, including the U.K., France and Germany for sending small contingents of troops to Greenland in the wake of Trump's threat to take the territory from Denmark. He has said repeatedly that the U.S. needs to acquire Greenland, and has not ruled out using military force to make that happen.
Aside from threatening war over Greenland, consider some of the other things President Trump has done during the opening days of the new year.
  • He ordered a dead-of-night special operations force to capture the president of Venezuela and declared that the U.S. is now in control of the country. He said the U.S. could also take action on Cuba, Columbia and Mexico.
  • He told the New York Times that the only thing that can constrain him internationally is "my own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."
  • He threatened military action against Iran, promising Iranian protesters "Help is on the way."
  • He threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to send active duty U.S. military to Minnesota, promising citizens "The day of reckoning and retribution is coming."
  • His Justice Department has subpoenaed Fed chair Jerome Powell,
  • launched criminal investigations into Democrats in congress who urged troops not to go along with unlawful orders,
  • searched a reporter's home,
  • and prompted the resignation of six federal prosecutors in Minnesota for investigating Renee Good's wife, but not the man who shot her.
  • And now sources tell us the DOJ has opened criminal investigations into the Democratic governor of Minnesota, and the Democratic mayor of Minneapolis.

One of the earliest and most underreported warning signs of certain forms of dementia is not memory loss. It is disinhibition — a deterioration of impulse control, judgment, and social restraint that often manifests as reckless behavior, inappropriate speech, and diminished concern for consequences. By the time forgetfulness becomes obvious, the disease process is often well underway.

That framework matters because it closely tracks what President Donald Trump has been displaying with increasing frequency.

Clinically, disinhibition often appears before memory loss, particularly in frontotemporal dementia. Individuals may seem energetic, confident, even dominant. What erodes first is judgment. Filters weaken. Social norms lose force. Behavior becomes impulsive, inappropriate, and unconcerned with consequence. That framework does not establish a diagnosis. It explains why behavior changes in ways that feel abrupt and destabilizing.

Trump’s recent behavior presents a coherent and escalating pattern. The loss of restraint is public, persistent, and increasingly disconnected from consequence. Disinhibition is a clinical concept, not a political insult, and it describes how judgment can fail before memory does.

That condition leaves the country exposed. Not to norm violations, but to a system that no longer knows how to respond when restraint erodes in real time.
