Psychiatrist says Donald Trump needs to "be led by the arm by world leaders" amid plague scare, calls him "a maniac"

A professor of psychiatry emeritus at Tufts University School of Medicine, Dr. Henry David Abraham, reportedly stated that Donald Trump behaved like "a maniac at night." According to Rawstory, the psychiatrist said that the president's late-night postings showed signs of manic behavior clinically, which is why he dozed off during the daytime. He said,

"No one stays up half the night tweeting 50 or 75 or 150 times and has a normal mental status examination."

The doctor added,

"He needs to be literally led by the arm by world leaders, who have to treat him like the demented grandfather that he probably is."

The doctor listed 10 or 11 symptoms, such as rage, lack of restraint, illogical speech, off-topic rambling, and grandiosity. He connected the issue of grandiosity to Trump's social media posts that portrayed him as the pope shaking hands with God.

Dr. Henry blasted Donald Trump, calling him a nighttime maniac

In an interview with AlterNet, Dr. Henry David Abraham said that Donald Trump behaves like a maniac at night, due to which he sleeps during the daytime. The doctor further pointed out that his daytime doze happens because of his late-night social media postings.

The doctor said that the president needs to be led by the arm by world leaders, who must treat him like an elderly grandfather suffering from serious mental decline. The professor's statement warned that Trump is experiencing a rapidly worsening health condition, and as a result, he is detaching from reality and becoming increasingly dangerous.

After listing out the president's symptoms, the doctor stated that about half of those symptoms had become worse in recent years and added that Trump sometimes seems disoriented.

Dr. Henry noted that no diagnosis can be made without directly examining the patient and explained that it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion on a public figure they have not examined. The psychiatrist alleged that much of Trump's presidency has focused on dismantling Barack Obama's legacy, which he linked to racism and deep insecurity.

Who is Dr. Henry David Abraham?

Dr. Henry is one of the founders of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, the group that received the Peace Prize.

In 1982, Abraham worked as a consultant for the Institute of Medicine’s report Marijuana and Health and also contributed to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (DSM-III-R).

What did the doctor reveal about Donald Trump's speech patterns?

According to the International Business Times, Dr. Henry reportedly mentioned that Trump's speech showed signs of regression and warned of the possibility of Trump using a nuclear weapon out of anger, confusion, or poor self-control. The doctor revealed that this tendency has become stronger than ever. Forensic psychiatrist Brandy Lee has also raised similar concerns.

The White House has not publicly responded to Dr. Henry's latest statements. However, in May 2026, CNN reported that White House physician Sean Barbabella issued a memo stating that Trump was in excellent health with excellent cognitive performance.
