Trump's 'paucity of words'

Next month a book is coming out in the US called The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. It's been written by 27 psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health experts who have got together to assess President Trump's mental health.

Chief medical officer of mental health for New York State Lloyd Sederer said the way Trump's speech has changed could indicate a problem: "Twenty years ago he spoke in more complex sentences with more complex words... and he is always given to repeat in a way that he didn't seem before."

Mr Sederer, who is a Democrat, told Carolyn Quinn that amongst medical professionals the concern for Trump's behaviour was "ubiquitous".
