The latest wave of health concerns around Donald Trump surfaced just weeks ago, when he attended the World Economic Forum in Davos. Observers noticed visible bruising on his hands, which was initially explained as the result of hitting a bird. But now, additional questions are being raised about the president’s overall health.
In a recent video on The David Pakman Show, Adam James, a licensed physical therapist with 14 years of experience, shared his professional concerns about Trump’s health.
James, who works under the name Epistemic Crisis, discussed neurological symptoms he believes the president has been displaying and made a startling prediction about Trump’s life expectancy.
Based on his experience, James suggests Trump may be dealing with serious health issues, possibly including Frontotemporal dementia. This progressive condition typically has a life expectancy of seven to twelve years after diagnosis, but James speculates that Trump’s symptoms appear to be advancing more quickly, potentially leaving him with only two to four years.
Signs of neurological decline
James highlighted several behaviors and physical symptoms he believes point to neurological decline. These include unusual gait patterns, like a swinging leg motion and balance difficulties, which could indicate weakness on one side of the body, possibly from a stroke-like event.
Other concerning signs include slurred speech, confusion over basic facts — such as mixing up Greenland and Iceland — and repeated use of a limited set of words. “His frontal lobe is shrinking inside of his skull,” James explained, referencing MRIs and cognitive assessments as potential evidence.
He also noted that Trump’s apparent lack of impulse control, such as discussing sensitive military information publicly, could reflect damage to areas of the brain responsible for decision-making.
Life expectancy and health considerations
While James’ estimate of two to four years may seem extreme, he notes that progression of Frontotemporal dementia can vary widely. Trump’s age, combined with cognitive decline and possible chronic conditions, such as congestive heart failure or kidney disease, makes his situation particularly concerning.
Even with access to high-quality healthcare, James warned that the underlying conditions could still limit life expectancy, especially if medical advice is not strictly followed.
While Trump’s medical team has not officially diagnosed him with Frontotemporal dementia or any other condition, James’ assessment — based on public appearances and observed behaviors — raises serious questions about the president’s health and what the coming years may hold.
