Thirty senior American psychiatrists and mental health experts have signed a statement declaring President Donald Trump mentally unfit to serve, warning that his sole authority over U.S. nuclear weapons poses a danger to the entire world. According to the doctors, Trump’s behavior over the past year has shown “objectively observable signs of serious medical concern.” They cited: — a significant decline in cognitive functioning, — episodes of apparent drowsiness during critical public appearances, — severely impaired judgment and impulse control, — loss of self-control, — and grandiose or delusional beliefs, including claims of infallibility and imagery portraying himself as a figure with a “divine mission.” The physicians argue that Trump now represents a “clear and present danger” and called for urgent action to remove him from office. “It is our expert opinion that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be president of the United States,” the statement reads. The letter invokes the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allows the vice president and cabinet to declare a president incapable of performing the duties of office. One of the signatories, Dr. Henry David Abraham of Tufts University School of Medicine, warned about “the buildup of psychiatric symptoms in a person who has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.” He pointed to Trump’s April 7, 2026 Truth Social post regarding Iran, in which Trump wrote: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” According to the doctors, the warning signs include: — grandiosity without restraint, — paranoia, — impulsivity, — vindictiveness, — uncontrolled rage, — and a sense of omnipotence in a man with unchecked control over nuclear weapons. Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, another signatory, said the issue now “transcends politics and concerns the survival of humanity itself.” The statement was submitted to the U.S. Congressional Record by Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed. The doctors emphasized that their declaration is “medical, not political,” and includes professionals with both conservative and liberal views. Source: The BMJ
