Illinois Governor Pritzker Says He Thinks President Trump Has Dementia

Pritzker said Trump is suffering from dementia and said 80-year-old president’s language has changed over 10 years, while declining to claim a medical diagnosis.

  • On Tuesday, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker appeared on CNN's The Source and reiterated his claim that President Donald Trump is "suffering from dementia," arguing the president appears cognitively different than he was 10 years ago.
  • The governor previously made similar statements in a May Politico interview, asserting Trump's cognitive issues became "much more pronounced" during his second term, though he acknowledged he is not a medical professional.
  • Defending the president's cognitive state, the White House cited a recent physical that found him in "excellent health" with strong neurological function, while Trump's representatives called Pritzker a "certifiable loser."
  • Host Kaitlan Collins questioned how Pritzker, whose net worth Forbes estimates at $4.3 billion, aligns with a party campaigning against the billionaire class, prompting him to defend raising the Illinois minimum wage to $15.
  • Amid speculation regarding a potential presidential run, Pritzker vowed to reverse Trump's modifications to the Oval Office and East Room, emphasizing the need for a leader with "honesty, integrity, and importantly, kindness and empathy" in Washington.
