According to The Oregonian, 36 experts in neurology and psychiatry have signed a letter concerning the American president.
The letter was submitted to Congress’s official archives by two Democratic senators from Rhode Island.
The experts argue that Donald Trump shows signs of poor judgment, weakened impulse control, and cognitive difficulties.
Official assessments
The criticism contrasts with official statements regarding Trump’s health. Last year, his personal physician stated that the 79-year-old Republican was in very good condition.

A medical examination conducted in April 2025 also concluded that he was fit to serve as the United States’ commander in chief.
At the same time, the group of experts emphasizes that none of them has personally examined Donald Trump.
Instead, their assessment is based on his public appearances and statements over the past year.
Warning to the United States
In the letter, the group also points to the responsibility that comes with holding the office of president.

Among other things, they highlight that America’s nuclear weapons can be deployed directly on the president’s orders.
One of the signatories is psychiatrist George Drinka of Oregon Health & Science University.
The group’s main message is that they consider Donald Trump mentally unfit to serve as president of the United States and believe the matter should be addressed quickly.
