President Donald Trump\u2019s seeming cognitive decline is so serious, experts have worried about his control of America\u2019s nuclear arsenal. Trump\u2019s aides insist that the reports of his supposed mental health issues are exaggerated \u2014 but a new survey reveals Americans are not buying it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Strength in Numbers\/Verasight poll, conducted July 14-17, 2026, among 1,514 U.S. adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, found that 46 percent of Americans rate Trump’s mental sharpness as president as \u2018poor,\u2019\u201d Newsweek reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

This figure, which is only four points lower than the number of Americans who believe President Joe Biden was cognitively not fit for office, occurs roughly a month after Trump turned 80 and thereby became only the second octogenarian to serve in the White House \u2014 following Biden himself.<\/p>\n

The Trump White House protested against these findings in a statement to Newsweek. White House spokesman Davis Ingle told the venerable magazine that the president is \u201cthe sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ingle did not stop there.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and the legacy media intentionally covered up Joe Biden\u2019s serious mental and physical decline from the American people,\u201d Ingle continued.<\/p>\n

Speaking to AlterNet in May, psychiatrist Dr. Henry Abraham (formerly of Tufts University) \u2014 chief signatory of a letter to Congress by a group of 36 top physicians and mental health experts warning about Trump\u2019s apparent decline \u2014 broke down the signs that Trump is deteriorating.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a frightening progression of symptoms,\u201d Abraham told AlterNet at the time. \u201cThese include grandiosity without moral safeguards, paranoia, impulsivity, vindictiveness, easy misperception of being harmed, moments of omnipotence, uncontrolled rage, and sole control over the use of nuclear weapons in a time of war. As a psychiatrist reviewing these, I can only say Yikes!\u201d<\/p>\n

Abraham added that to address Trump\u2019s potential issues,\u201cthe solutions have to be political.\u201d<\/p>\n

He argued, \u201cThey include invoking the 25th amendment, impeachment, or convincing him to resign as Nixon did. None of these are an easy lift, especially with a loyalist cabinet and Congress. But the irony is that our leaders don\u2019t lead as much as they follow. A recent poll by the Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos group found a majority of [Americans] do not believe the president is physically or mentally able to discharge his duties. The public is waking up to these dangers. As they do, the political landscape may shift towards removal of a defective and dangerous leader.\u201d<\/p>\n
