Walter Reed exam proposed for Trump after 'sundowner syndrome' statement on Iran

Donald Trump’s Easter Sunday post that menaced Iran with more threats amid severe expletives led a retired general to suggest the president needs to be taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for testing.

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” retired General Barry McCaffrey expressed both dismay and disgust with Trump writing, in part, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and then oddly adding, “... you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

Explaining Trump's widely condemned Easter outburst will only harden Iran’s resolve to refuse to bow to the American president, he added he found it concerning that the president would play with fire like that and then questioned Trump's mental state.

Noting what may come next, he told host Jonathan Lemire, “Well, look, are you backing off the issue on legality of certain kinds of strikes? And will we go after Kharg Island, which would be a huge mistake?”

“I think what crystallized my thinking on the danger the country is in was the unhinged tweet on Truth Social from the president; blasphemous on Easter Day,” he remarked. “It sounded like sundowner syndrome on an elderly man. Had that statement been made by a lieutenant colonel in an email to his boss in the Pentagon, literally, we would have led him out of the building and sent him over to Walter Reed.”

“But we’ve got a problem,” he warned. “I don't see how we get through two more years with the commander in chief. There's only two people that can give legal orders to the armed forces: the president of the United States and the Secretary of Defense, and both of them are shaky figures. So we got a real problem.”
