Ivy League psychologist warns Trump's late-night rants suggest serious health issuehttps://t.co/YD6cyfytLw

Harry Segal, clinical psychologist and senior lecturer in the Psychology Department at Cornell University, thinks Donald Trump may be exhibiting behavior consistent with "sundowning." 

The term is defined by the Mayo Clinic as "a state of confusion that occurs in the late afternoon and lasts into the night." Segal explained that it's a form of dementia. 

Speaking to progressive talk radio host David Packman, Segal explained that he wasn't looking at Trump or at President Joe Biden from a political perspective but only from a psychological one, and what he has observed through gait, speech patterns and other things over time. 

The host cited examples of Trump confusing Joe Biden with Barack Obama and mistakenly referring to Nancy Pelosi as Nikki Haley. But Segal sees Trump as "having more and more difficulties at night."

Is that why Trump is holding a mid-afternoon rally today?

Not that there’s a noticeable improvement.
