Donald Trump may have four months left to live and his brain is shrinking, a health expert has claimed.

Speaking to US politics commentator David Packman, licensed physical therapist Adam James broke down some of the rumours surrounding the president’s health. Since Trump got back into power last year, strange bruises have often appeared on his hands (usually poorly covered up with make-up) and on occasions, have appeared to be in a state of confusion.

It’s no secret either that Trump’s public speaking appearances have been a bit heavy on the word salad of late. Remember his painfully long address at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month? There have even been times when he has appeared to fall asleep in public, or nearly falling over when he's addressed the world's cameras.

During the speech in Davos, there was seemingly a lot of confusion exhibited by Trump, for example, muddling up Greenland and Iceland. The leader of the free world would trail off and then ‘come to’, before going on to speak about something completely different.

James believes the president’s often-absent trails of thought are a sign of ill health. “That’s all tied together,” he said. “The frontal lobe alerts us to when we’re doing something we shouldn’t be doing.

Sometimes it looks like he's about to fall over

“His frontal lobe is shrinking inside his skull, and the MRIs will show this. That’s why [the Trump administration] has pivoted to the CT scans, because they don’t want you to see that his brain is shrinking.

“So, the frontal lobe is stopping him from ordering his thoughts.”

An example of this was seen recently when Trump spoke about a classified US military ‘discombombulator’ in relation to the efforts in Venezuela.

“I know I’m not supposed to be talking about this,” Trump had said, after very casually bringing up top secret information.

“He knows he’s not supposed to be talking about it,” James said. “But his brain is not stopping him from talking about it.

“If it’s frontotemporal dementia, then the life expectancy after diagnosis is roughly seven to 12 years. He’s been displaying these symptoms since before he was elected in 2016.

“His team’s ability to hide his condition is effective to a degree. The main danger they have is he can’t shut his mouth. They would never have had to comment about what happened if he hadn’t mentioned his MRI.”

“Look at Bruce Willis,” said James, mentioning the Hollywood actor who tragically had to retire because of dementia. “He’s now been moved to a care facility. His symptoms started in 2022 when he couldn’t perform on camera and remember his lines any more."

The healthcare professional backed up his claim that Trump has four months to live, adding: “I’m going with what the typical life expectancy is and what his symptoms are.

Could 2026 be Trump's final year, like the expert has claimed?

“Look at the marks on his hands. His team say it’s from shaking hands too much. It’s nonsense. That’s an IV injection site. My guess is that he’s getting IV diuretic medication to pull excess fluid off his body, so he doesn’t end up in hospital.”
