This may be duplicate, since I trash the "Unholy Name" Entered April 30 2026 in the Congressional Record by Senators
Whitehouse and Reed of Rhode Island.
Let me know. I looked on the home page, which blocks nothing.

What the experts told lawmakers
The full statement, titled "Medical Concerns About President Donald J. Trump and His Fitness for Office," details what the signers describe as observable warning signs. They cite a "marked deterioration in cognitive functioning" and "grandiose and delusional beliefs" that they say have emerged or worsened over time. Because the president remains commander in chief, they argue, those issues create unique risks and justify urgent action. The statement urges that "steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency" and notes that the text has been entered into the official record, according to the Congressional Record. PDF, page 58.
Who signed it
The submission is backed by 36 physicians and mental health professionals, including neurologists, forensic psychiatrists and other specialists. The roster includes clinicians from Harvard, Columbia, Tufts and George Washington, along with figures such as Eric Chivian, a co-founder of IPPNW and a Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The signers, the statement notes, span a range of political views and professional backgrounds, and their full names and institutional affiliations are listed alongside the filing. That complete signatory list appears with the Whitehouse/Reed submission in the printed record, which details each expert and their institutional ties.

36 Doctors Just Staged the Quietest Coup in American History
The press looked away for a reason.

Marked deterioration in cognitive functioning. (Watch any interview for receipts.)
Disorganized speech. (Trump calls this the weave. Neurologists call this tangentiality.)
Factual confusions. (Mixing up Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Mixing up Vance with Rubio.)
Episodes of apparent somnolence during critical public proceedings. (Falling asleep every time Rubio speaks.)
Grandiose and delusional beliefs. (Believing he is Jesus or the Pope, depending on the sundown hour.)
Severely impaired judgment. (Ones that we are paying for in an estimated $1T war.)
Disinhibition and perseveration. (If I hear that Hannibal Lecter story one more time, I will eat my arm.)
Manic behavior. (One hundred and fifty social media posts in a single night.)
The 36 were concerned enough to invoke the Declaration of Geneva the post-Nuremberg successor to the Hippocratic Oath, which was written specifically because doctors at Nuremberg argued they had only been following orders. They concluded that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be the President of the United States, and that steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency.

But over the last few months, it has occurred to me that, for all the hype about generative AI systems hallucinating, we pay much less attention to the fact that the current President does the same thing, nearly every day. The more you look at the way Donald Trump spews utter nonsense answers to questions, the more you begin to recognize a clear pattern he answers questions in a manner quite similar to early versions of ChatGPT. The facts dont matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate.

This is not the response of someone working from actual knowledge or policy understanding. Instead, its precisely how an LLM operates: taking a prompt (the question about job losses) and generating text based on some core parameters (the system prompt that requires deflecting blame and asserting greatness).
The hallmarks of AI generation are all here:
Confident assertions without factual backing
Meandering diversions that maintain loose semantic connection to the topic
Pattern-matching to previous responses (ripped off, billions of dollars)
Optimization for what sounds good rather than whats true
Dunno anything that can save him from the Gallos, Ernest and Julio.

(23,049 posts)My father edited a program called "Buzzwords" (circa 1979). It generated a string of random words, but the words were typical corporate buzzwords, and could be used as prompts for a speech. And the speech, while actually nonsense, would sound profound.
A precursor to today's word salads from The Felon and others of his ilk.

(43,444 posts)On "buzzspeak" at a corporation for which I worked. There were around 100 people at the regional office of this giant corporation which you've all McHeard of, and we had this giant copy machine which kicked out the copies in seconds. Rarely got jammed. I wrote it in my spare time (hah!) and secretly distributed it to every desk in the office at night, after everyone had gone home.
My subtitle to "Buzzspeak" was "all the corporate lingo you need to know!" It was full of trite sayings like "outside the box" and "face time." Articles on how to use them and "upcoming buzzwords you'll want to use!"
It was satiric, needless to say.
However, people thought it was real. Imagine me on the elevator, listening to people seriously talk about my articles. I could barely disguise my smirk.
p.s. if only I'd had the buzz phrase generator!!

(55,701 posts)The number of dictators chased from power by democracy is very few.
While we're at it, do dictators arise more from frequent elections in democratic countries, or from the old system of Royal succession?
Neither one is batting 1000. We have centuries of data now.

(2,569 posts)How many times have they ALREADY ignored it??????? They have openly said that the constitution, as far as they are concerned, is just an antiquated piece of paper.......
The people in the cabinet share many of the Donald's qualities, minus the age-related ones. All of them are not fit to be in the positions they occupy. Just watch one of them in an interview and it is obvious to any informed, aware person that something is not right with them. they cannot be expected to do the right thing!!!

(3,649 posts)They only care about their power and pockets. Trump clearly needs to be removed from power, which is obvious to any sane person.
But they will not lift one finger to stop him and say yes to everything he does.
They are treasonous to the country and it's citizens.

(43,444 posts)If you read the articles posted by the OP, the statement itself entered into the record does not mean something will be done about it. What it does, however, is give the people who have the power and know-how to take action a source to which to refer.

(9,195 posts)Maybe we should start a pole as to how long it'll be before they have their "weekend at Donnie's" with him.
My guess is they'll want to prop him up to as close to the election as they can, unless he becomes too big a drag on the Congressional races.
At that point he may have a major health issue, and be carted off with a big show of sympathy about how he gave his all for the country until his health gave out. And it was all the hate the radical left projected onto him that did him in.
Some right wing preacher will talk about how he suffered for his country, and liken it to the suffering of Jesus.
