    Doctor Who Wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ Says He Would Recommend Dementia
    Tests For Trump

    A psychiatrist who helped craft the 1973 “Goldwater rule” that has
    kept many mental health professionals from opining on Donald Trump for
    nearly a decade said that it was not intended as a hard-and-fast
    prohibition, and that if he were Trump’s doctor, he would order a
    full battery of tests to determine the cause of what he believes could
    be the former president’s dementia.

    “He seems to be progressively cognitively impaired,” said Allen
    Dyer, a retired George Washington University psychiatry professor.

    Dyer said Trump’s recent behavior warrants medical evaluation, like
    his apparent inability to remain focused on a single topic or string
    together complete sentences, for example, or his confusing of people,
    as he has repeatedly done with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and
    former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. And more recently, his loss of
    interest in taking questions at his own campaign event, followed by a
    demand that his staff play some of his favorite songs while he stood
    onstage and swayed to the music.

    Trump took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in 2020, when he
    was president, better known to some as the “Person. Woman. Man.
    Camera. TV.” test. It checks for the cognitive damage that could
    indicate dementia, and, as such, is supposed to be easy for anyone of
    normal cognitive health. 

    Yet Trump has insisted it was “difficult,” and bragged repeatedly
    of how he “aced” the test,
