After four years of trying to convince Americans not to believe their lying eyes about Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, Democrats have apparently become experts at diagnosing presidential illnesses now that President Donald Trump is back in office.
Just days ago, a sitting Democrat lawmaker gave credence to the unsubstantiated claim that the president is suffering from a terminal illness:

The Hill reported on a more recent continuation of the trend:
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) on Tuesday accused President Trump of “suffering from dementia.”
Pritzker appeared on CNN, where anchor Kaitlan Collins asked the governor about recent comments made by the president, like claiming communism is a bigger threat to the U.S. than both world wars, the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
“Look, the man is continually suffering from dementia,” Pritzker replied. “I don’t think he really understands what he’s saying. The truth is that — I mean, this is a man who’s threatened to jail the mayor of Chicago, the governor of Illinois. He regularly threatens to go after people and indeed, has used the Department of Justice to go after people.”
He added that Trump comes up with “concepts in his head, and he blurts them out without really thinking.”
In response, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle called Pritzker “a slob and an incompetent governor who pushes blatantly false narratives like this in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.”
The dementia claim is particularly rich in light of the Biden years, and the White House was hardly alone in calling out Pritzker’s rhetoric:
Coming from the same individual who defended Biden's mental acuity.

But, can a man suffering from acute TDS speak rationally and reasonably?
NO.
And Pritzker has been diagnosed as having acute TDS leading to bipolar disorder.— bonedgehou (@bonchihe) July 1, 2026
Fox News also covered the governor’s remarks:
The White House also defended Trump’s health, telling Fox News Digital in part: “Unlike the Biden White House, President Trump and his entire team have been fully open and transparent about the President’s health, which remains exceptional.”
Trump recently reupped warnings of socialism’s growing influence within the Democratic Party after several socialist candidates secured primary victories, indicating an increasing acceptance of the far-left movement within the party.
All three congressional candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani – Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalie – won their respective Democratic primaries.
