Fact Check: Donald Trump's Cognitive Health Claims and Medical Exams

Donald Trump really just can't stop talking about his health. And I don't know why. It's all projection and

insecurity. But he has to understand at this point that he brings more attention than maybe anybody else could when he's

talking about, well, quite frankly, how great his brain is when he is in obvious cognitive decline. Now, I said almost no

one else could bring as much attention as Donald Trump does. But there's one person who can and is right now, and

that is a former White House doctor speaking out about a health exam cover up scandal, which sounds right up Donald

Trump's alley that we all need to talk about. And he's telling all, we're going to get into it, but I do want to start

with that projection from Donald Trump about his cognitive state, the cognitive test he's taken, why he wants JD Vance

to take one before we get into it all, because it kind of frames why this doctor is speaking out and telling all.

It does begin with the diet tribe that Donald Trump went on today about cognitive tests and how smart he is and

quite frankly great. At the end of this video, I also have a clip of me and Jennifer Welch discussing Donald Trump's

cognitive state. So, you're going to want to stick around for that. But it does all begin with what Donald Trump

said right here. >> And when I got the score in the test, the doctor said, "Wow, I've never seen,

you know, you have five doctors lined up. They're all over the place." I said, "Should I take it?" You know, I've had

different phases. They've said, "He's a mad genius. I didn't mind that too much. Then they said, "He's a horrible human

being." I don't like that much. Then they said, "He's really not a smart person at all." I really hated that. So,

so I took a cognitive test and I said to the doctor, first doctor is Dr. Ronnie. You know Doc Ronnie? We all love Doc

Ronnie. But he had a whole team of doctors at Walter Reed, a great place. I said, "So, should I do it?" He said,

"Well, it's a tough exam, actually. you know, those last 20 questions, they get tough. A lot of people can't do them. I

said, "Well, what do you think?" He said, "Well, if you do it, they're going to find out because it's essentially a

public, you know, it's a military hospital. If you do badly, they're going to find out and it won't be pleasant." I

said, "Well, I do well and things, so let's do it." And I got I got everyone right and these are tough questions. So,

this is all [ __ ] and ridiculous and projection and insecurity, but but the point that I would say maybe is most

important in in making when we're talking about this clip is that Donald Trump is insistent insistent that he

wanted to take the cognitive test. It was Donald Trump who suggested after walking past and he said, "Oh, what's

that right there? Just a stack of papers." It was just a stack of papers and he said, "Oh, what's that right

there? I might just I might just take this test. Why not?" You know, I've never been president of the United

States and I've never been a chief of staff or a scheduler to a president, but I know and I can assume that their

schedules are pretty tight. You know, if you're going for your your you know, your yearly physical, um you're not just

going to throw a little extra something something in there. The president's got a pretty tight schedule. Got stuff going

on. So, on no planet did Donald Trump just go, "Well, why not take a 30 minute test real quick?" That is not what's

happened. So, the reason he keeps on getting these tests is because he needs them. because it is a judge of whether

or not you you're all there. It's whether grandpa can keep his keys, whether we can trust him to go to the

the grocery store without, you know, [ __ ] saying some bad words. And that is why Donald Trump is now insisting JD

Vance join in as well. And it's the reason that this doctor's gone public. So Donald Trump recently wrote on Truth

Social, anybody running for president, and this is important, or vice president should be quite frankly, why not? I'll

do the voice to take a they actually should be forced to take a cognitive examination prior to entering the race.

By doing so, we wouldn't be surprised at people like Barack Hussein Obama or sleepy Joe Biden getting elected. Our

country would be a much better place. I took the exam three times during my three terms as president and aced it all

three times. An achievement that even on a single exam, according to the doctors, has rarely been done before. President

Donald J. Trump. So Trump is now asking that Vance take this cognitive examination because he wants it to feel

like something that you have to go out of your way that that that you go out of your way for because you you want to

show off, right? You want to show your IQ. This is not an IQ test. This is a like do you have dementia test? That's

what it is. And so it's why he wants to kind of dip JD Vance's hands in the blood as well and say JD he also did it

because he wants to show that he's a smart guy. Again, this this is not what's happening. Donald Trump is taking

these exams because the people around him are worried whether he's all there and they repeatedly give them to him to

check in. This was clearly a medical problem that Donald Trump is experiencing. But of course, he doesn't

want to say that. Now, he is being given these cognitive tests and we know that they are injecting stuff into his hands

all the time. He's taking more aspirin than doctors recommend. But what about Donald Trump's physicals? Why haven't we

heard anything about that? Well, that is exactly the scandal that is coming up with his former White House doctor going

public. Top doctor draws attention to Trump's overdue health exam. The president had two routine checkups last

year, but nothing this year. Donald Trump's truth social boast about his brain power has drawn attention to his

overdue annual physical exam. Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist and CNN's chief medical analyst, by the way,

I should say a cardiologist in the White House under George W. Bush, said the 79-year-old president is past due for

his annual examination after Trump went on a bizarre spree, posting on Thursday. In one post that we read, Donald Trump

talked about acing his cognitive exam and how Barack Obama and Sleepy Joe need one. But Reiner, who has kept a close

eye on Trump's health, agreed with the president assessment about needing more exams. Dr. Dr. Riner wrote, "I agree

with the president that anyone running for president should have a comprehensive medical, cognitive, and

psychiatric assessment prior to the election. I also believe that the president should be required to undergo

such an evaluation once a year, and the report should be submitted to Congress." By the way, the president is overdue for

his annual exam. Overdue? Why has Donald Trump not gotten his checkup? Huh? If it quacks like a duck, it may actually just

be a Democratic hack. The White House spokesperson Davis Engel said that President Trump is the sharpest and he's

the most professional and everyone loves him and medical professionals say he's great blah blah blah blah blah in

response to Dr. Reiner. On April 13th, 2025, the White House physician Shawn Barbala released a memo detailing the

results of Trump's exam which included diagnostics and laboratory testing on top of consultations with 14

specialists. He also referenced Donald Trump's golfing while he was healthy. It says that he was 6'3 and 224 pounds,

which with that fat McDonald's ass, not a soul believes that. So, Donald Trump has not gotten his annual physical,

which he has passed due for, according to the former White House doctor who finds this interesting and weird, and

that Donald Trump does need some checkups. But of course, we know that Donald Trump is regularly seen by

doctors, it seems. So clearly there is something more there. And that is what I talked to Jennifer Welch about. She had

her own I don't want to call it a conspiracy, but she had her own theory for why Donald Trump um is is not so

great recently. Um and and what the truth of his medical situation is. Stick around for it all. We had some fun. She

made fun of Melania. It was great. Take a look. My husband is very high coup and he is unifi and he can also grab by

[ __ ] who is very famous >> who's been >> we're out of

control I mean this is here's what I think Jack >> do you think it's a little bit of a shot

at JD do you think he wants so this was the first time that Donald Trump did this I think it was in January because I

have two thoughts on this exam the first time that Donald Trump did this was in January when there was a bit of a break

with Vance on our first war. Actually, I guess our second of the three. There's been lots of wars. It's hard to keep

track of all of them, but there was a >> Not to mention all that he's solved. >> All that he's fixed. Yeah. It was up. I

think it's 10 now. >> Oh. Oh, yeah. >> Quite frankly, Melania, it's 10. Um, but

this was in January when there were some rumblings about maybe Vance isn't happy. And it was the same time where Trump was

asking room full of donors in Dorado like, "Do you like Vance or do you like Rubio?" He then said, "I think everyone,

president and vice president, should have to take a cognitive test." And to me, that was, "I need JD to do it so

it's not as weird that I keep taking them." Like, he was asking Vance, like, I'm going to say this publicly. You need

to go take a cognitive test so we can set it as precedent. This is my conspiracy because he's like, I'm going

to have to keep taking these and it's going to leak out that they keep giving them to me. And this is not a this is

not a happy test, right? If you're if you have to identify the lions, tigers, and bears, this not a happy test. This

is like, should grandpa still have his keys? Like, is he allowed to like go to the grocery store by himself? Cuz he

might say like >> some slurs. Like that's the type. No, like that is the type of test that this

is. And he paints it as like what an achievement. And I'm I have such a great brain and we love my brain. But but

that's what it is. So I think you want Vance to take it is what this is. >> I Okay, here's my theory. I think that

one night when he was all amped up on Twitter, back when he was on Twitter a long time ago, he got one of those ads

that was like, "Take IQ test." So, he took the IQ test and it comes back really low. And I think he's been

reeling and unraveling since then. And in Trump 1.0 is when he took the first cognum test because he did man, woman,

camera, TV. Remember that. That's impressive. >> I know. Sharp as it takes it takes some

work. >> Steel traps right here, baby. And so I think he's been taking cognitive exams

and IQ tests at nauseium and I think he fails them because we are in his deathbed confession era where he is

telling us he's talking about how attractive he finds men all the time. He's talking about oh the truth is I

really like >> good looking guys out there. >> I really like to hang out with losers.

Um he's really letting it all hang out. And I think that he cannot pass the cognitive exam and I think he has a a

like well a double- digit IQ. That's my working theory. >> I also think that like he is he is so

aware and he said that and he's been saying this like the deathbed confession is the right way to frame it. He said

Melania like obviously he's not going to live for another 40 years. He's like said to Melania, oh we're not going to

break the 65 year marriage record. We uh he posted this was three weeks ago. This evangelist, I think he's like a

televangelist, Franklin Graham is his name. He posted this letter that he sent to Trump in October saying, "Dear

leader, when you die, I promise you're going to heaven. You keep saying you're not." And Trump just posted it 3 weeks

ago out of the blue. He's just like, "I want everyone to know that when I die, I'm going to heaven." And I've been

viewing a lot of what this Trump presidency is through the lens of he's in deep cognitive decline. every time he

feels sad about that or people see his tankles or his bruises, he wants to project out strength, he does it with

our military. When the when the Florida Panthers came to the White House, he said, "Look at all these big strong

guys." Cuz he loves his men. And he said, "You're so big and strong and tough, but I have the US military." And

so like the projection and the insecurity is so clear, but everything he does from the the ballroom to the

Kennedy Center, it is all about he wants to put his [ __ ] face on the passport and currency and everything. He wants to

know what it's going to look like when he dies. >> I think it's true.

>> And that is shaping most of what he does. He wants to get a feeling for it. >> Like there's some diagnosis out there.

Remember when he was like awall like five or six days and he comes out and then we have the droopy mouth. There is

some clandestine diagnosis out there because he started talking about >> quite frankly I don't think I'm going to

make it into heaven or yes, I'm going to make it into heaven. And then he's been grifting off of that. Help Trump get to

heaven emails to these supporters. I think that Jen is spot on. Donald Trump has always loved bragging about himself,

but it has taken a uh it's taken a darker turn as of recently. So, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a

diagnosis. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something that was being regularly checked up on in Donald

Trump's life. And that's why there was no annual physical because they wouldn't want to have to release that. But they

are checking on something physical about Donald Trump. That wouldn't surprise me in the latest. I I agree with Jen and

her take on this and I think it dictates so much of what Donald Trump does which is the reason why we talk about his

cognitive state and his physical state so much on this show and I'm going to continue to do that and if you want to

support that as always you can hit that subscribe button, leave a like on this video. If you stuck around to the end

and you enjoyed me and Jen, you can drop a blue heart in the comments. Keep on fighting y'all. Don't let them silence

you. And until next time, I'll see you
