"During a speech he gave in Davos, Switzerland, last week, he kept mixing up Iceland and Greenland. Mistaking one country for another is far from abnormal for him, but it is a touch odd, considering his current obsession with Greenland. An obsession which, as he very publicly wrote to the Norwegian prime minister, is related to the fact that he wasn't awarded the Nobel Peace Prize-a bizarre conflation, given that Greenland is a Danish territory, not a Norwegian one."
"When someone fainted in the Oval Office in November, he barely reacted. He's been dozing off in meetings, which led Dick Cheney's doctor to call for a medical evaluation. (Then again, it's hardly the first time he's slept in public.) He recently underwent advanced imaging of either an MRI or CT scan, neither of which is standard preventive care. And his speech continues to descend into gobbledygook."
Donald Trump has displayed a series of unusual behaviors, including confusing Iceland with Greenland, an intense fixation on Greenland, and a bizarre letter to a foreign prime minister. He has shown odd in-person actions such as standing to stare at a construction project and minimal reaction when someone fainted in the Oval Office. Recurrent dozing in public and meetings and recent advanced brain imaging have prompted calls for medical evaluation. Age-related decline has been raised as a possible explanation, and a formal determination of cognitive impairment requires a personal medical examination and full clinical history.
