2. I am a retired mental professional, and I don't have a problem with the article.

He clearly states he is not a mental health professional and these are his layman opinions.
Yes he is a bit wobbly on some of it, but the basic premise of the article is sound.

It is a clear and observable fact that Trump is showing signs of dementia. And more people
need to speak out about it.

The mental health professionals have been warning about how dangerous Trump is for years
but no one cares or listens to them. Perhaps if non professionals speak out more, people
will pay attention.

BTW Attorneys often like to pretend to be psychologists, which used to irritate me in clinical practice.
I used to tell attorneys that I won't practice law with our mutual clients if they won't practice psychology.
