His physical and mental health continues to rapidly, rapidly deteriorate. Last night around mid night he was having a psychotic meltdown, making post after Post about the 2020 election and about former President Obama. He posted several dozen posts that were incoherent and truly when you read them you'll be like, they need to put a straight jacket on this guy. This is what he's posting about while the world is on edge, if a war is about to break out again in Iran as this cease fire that Donald Trump is talking about seems to have been just completely fabricated by Donald Trump to delay, delay, delay as Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz Yesterday in the Oval Office, Donald Trump had Joe Rogan on Saturday and they held a press conference together while the world was trying to decipher Donald Trump's incoherent posts and threats against Iran to determine if missiles were going to start being launched again and if there would be a ground invasion, he has Joe Rogan in the Oval Office. And when members of the press tried to ask him some basic questions about all of the lies he was saying about a fake deal that he's been talking about with Iran, where American military excavators were going to go in with Iranian military, military excavators and bring the nuclear material back to the United States and that now the US Controlled the Strait of Hormuz, I mean everything that was just a total lie. Donald Trump exhibited that disinhibition. He yelled and he kicked out the press. And then before doing so he signed some bizarre executive order regarding psychedelics with Joe Rogan. And when Donald Trump signed the so called executive order he's, do you like my executive order? Biden couldn't do this, eh? Biden couldn't do this, eh? You know, and I've been seeing a lot of clips lately also on TikTok, other social media platforms, of people who exhibit dementia and Alzheimer's. And if you've had people in your life, like I do, who exhibit dementia or Alzheimer's, again, I'm just expressing my opinion here. We know that, for example, Donald Trump's late father, Fred, had horrible Alzheimer's and that's how he died. And my opinion is that Donald Trump is having exactly what Fred has. I'm just sharing with you my opinion, but it seems to be fairly obvious. I mean, even the Wall Street Journal just published an article, and if you go through this article, it seems to be what they're saying is, is that there's real deep concern in the White House about his cognitive and physical deterioration. I mean, this was the headline of the Wall Street Journal article. Behind Trump's public bravado on the war, he grapples with his own fears. The President's impulsive style has never before been tested. Then it goes on to say Donald Trump sometimes loses focus, spending time on the details of his plans for the White House ballrooms or on midterm fundraisers and telling advisors he wants to shift to other topics, that he doesn't want to talk about the war. He's dealing with his own fear about ordering troops into harm's way. He says he's very afraid. And then he talked about, you know, that post that he made back on April 5th where he wrote, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran, there will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. Donald J. Trump, he's been running around the White House saying that he came up with the Allah idea himself. He goes, that was my idea, Allah. I said, praise be Allah. That was my idea. Because I want to seem unstable and I want to seem as insulted. That's how you negotiate, man. That's what the Wall Street Journal saying. I just think he realizes that he has given you my opinion. Again, this is my opinion protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. I'll give you that disclaimer. My opinion is, is that he realizes he has Alzheimer's or very serious dementia, and he's saying, oh, that's just me being crazy. To be a crazy person, to see how they respond to kind of mask that he realizes what's taking over him. Now, as I mentioned at the outset of this video, he psychotic meltdown at around midnight last night. And here's what he was posting. These are real posts from Donald Trump, from the Commander in Chief of the United States of America. And it pains me to say that this is what he's posting. Michigan cheated. Arizona cheated. Colorado cheated. Nevada cheated. Louisiana cheated. Washington cheated. California cheated. That's a post that he made last night at around midnight. Then he posts oh, my God. With an emoji of like a shouting face, trying to process what just happened. The highest ranking US Intelligence official just released smoking gun docs proving that Obama and his underlings committed treason and sedition. Meaning Trump was right about everything. The news is fake and the deep state is real. Meaning that all of us conspiracy theorists were right about the conspiracy against Trump. It wasn't a theory. Meaning the shadow war is real and all of our efforts over the last 10 years were not part of a LARP. Meaning that we're not crazy. We were right. It was all real. Follow me. I'll drop what's next. It'll be shocking. He's reposting things, saying, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Meaning the theory is real, folks. This is not just some random individual in a psychiatric ward posting this.

The President of the United States shouldn't something that. This is the person in the Oval Office, the top position in the United States and what was once the top position in the world, that isn't anymore. Because Donald Trump destroyed the reputation of the. But what are we doing here? Then again, at midnight, he was posting the song My Way, My Way. He was posting Sinatra. Okay. Then Donald Trump posts.
Guest Analyst
Wow.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says the Democrats changed the standard for impeachment right before impeaching Trump. They changed it so evidence no longer had to be credible just to get Trump. So literally treason. Literally treason. So in the lead up to impeachment of Trump, the standard was it had to be firsthand information. And then right before he happened to go through his. What do you talk. What are you even talking about right now? As we speak, you're saying that, oh, Russia, Russia, Russia was a conspiracy. In the past 24 hours, you extended the removal of sanctions against Russian oil, allowing Russians to make billions of dollars to fund the war against Ukraine and tried to destroy NATO. You're out there saying NATO is a paper tiger, that you want to withdraw the United States from NATO. After meeting with Putin's goons in Miami with Wit Coffin Kushner, you started talk about special envoys to Greenland and then conquering and taking over Greenland. And you talk about how you want to have these economic relationships with Putin. Heck, you invited Putin to Alaska and he made you look like a fool. So you want to know about firsthand knowledge, Donald, that's impeachable. That, that which we see with our own eyes. We see your behavior right now every day, that you are a Putin bootlicker. We can form that opinion because we observe your behavior. We observe what happened in Alaska with you and Putin. We observe you removing sanctions from Russian oil. We observe the way Putin is mocking you with Lukashenko. I mean, what are we even talking about here? Oh, and then Donald Trump posts this video right here. Trust Trump. And it's like an expletive laced video of like, you all know that it's bullshit that Biden won in 2020. This is a video that the President of the United States is posting at midnight. I mean, the time, if he posted at any time, it wouldn't matter. But here, play this video right here. Do you remember what it was like
Guest Analyst
when the 2020 election was rigged and stolen? Do you remember all the bullshit stories people told you about how the fraudulent election would be overturned? Do you remember the symbols of tyranny when fences went up around D.C. for Joe Biden's inauguration?
Political Commentator
Then there's just more posts like this, just so you know. I mean, I'm not gonna keep going. I think you get the point of what I'm saying. But he posts dozens of these. There's like 50 posts like this. At midnight last night, the US House is moving for expunging Trump's 2019 impeachment. And a photo of Senator Schiff guilty with a photo of Schiff. The damning email obtained by King Solomon through the FOIA request shows that Mike Morell and John Brennan are toppling the US government on November 3, 2020 election. CIA, can I. What are we even doing here? So that's what Donald Trump was posting all of last night. And then during the day when Donald. On Saturday, right? When the world, Americans like, what's going on with Iran? You said that the Strait of Hormuz is open. Iran says it isn't. We know it isn't because we can see that the ships aren't going through the Strait of Hormuz. You said that Iran's not going to be funding any proxy groups anymore. We know that's fault. You said that Iran's giving over the nuclear material. That's not happening. So you said Iran gave you everything and they submitted. And then Iran's like, he's lying about everything. If you want to actually look at what's happening in Iran, you can see he's lying. And we look at it. It's like, yeah, he's lying about everything. So he holds this press conference in the Oval Office Saturday to try to distract from all of this. And he is talking about psychedelics, and somebody is talking about how women are on antidepressants. And then Donald Trump's like, so is it good for them? Are antidepressants good? Just watch this exchange right here and how bizarre it is. Play this clip.
Guest Analyst
Mr. President, antidepressants right now are the most prescribed class medications in the country. Over 20% of women are on an antidepressant.
Political Commentator
Good.
Guest Analyst
In terms of. Do they work? Highly problematic research on the fact that over 20% of US women are on these drugs that are prescribed for life. We have a mental health crisis and they work.
Political Commentator
No, they don't. Me, I'm on a couple of them. But no, it's. It is definitely an issue for women. Then he signs this executive order, and. And he wants credit for the way he signed his name. And he's like, you think Biden can do that? You think Biden? You signed a document with your scribbly lettering. Like, what are you even talking about? Play this clip.
Guest Analyst
That's a good one. Oh, I wanted this one. See that, Joe? You think Biden can do that?
Political Commentator
And again, you have Joe Rogan here, and here's what he says about Joe Rogan. Play this clip.
Guest Analyst
It's not because these drugs harm people. And for 56 years, we've lived under those terrible conditions. We're free of that now. Now. We're free of that now, thanks to all these people that you see next to me and thanks to President Trump. We all respect Joe, and he's a little bit more liberal than. That's okay. I have a lot of friends that are liberal, but Joe is a. An amazing guy, and he wrote me a little note about this, and I had it checked out. I didn't just do it. I had it checked out. I went to Bobby and Oz. I went to some of the people that work for you, real pros, and everybody came back with the same answer. You know, normally they'll come back because this happens a lot. Have a couple of them like that, where they're not sure. It's like, you know, it goes two Ways this thing, everybody thought it was incredible. And I told Bobby, I said, bobby, let's just do it and get Oz involved. And it's going to get done so quickly. And you guys did a great job. Would you like to say something, Oz?
Political Commentator
Then the White House account's like, let him cook. Let him cook. To which the Iranian social media accounts say, the most cooked president ever. They're right. I mean, he is cooked. So I want to share this with you as well. As I said before, I've been watching a lot of videos, too, of individuals who have dementia, and this is one that touched my heart on. I was on TikTok, but, you know, if you have a family member who has dementia, this is what it looks like. And I give the family member a lot of credit for posting this video to show the signs. And in my view, this looks how. Like, this looks like Trump. I mean, this looks like how Donald Trump speaks. I mean, here, play this clip. Mom. She's at her house. Mom lives in her own house.

Guest Analyst
Addition to. In addition to no tax on Social Security, over 51 million seniors now pay. Seniors are. Seniors are loving me, and I love them. Of course. Of course, I'm not a senior, so I, you know, I cater to the seniors, but I don't happen to be a senior myself, thank you very much.
Political Commentator
Or Donald Trump's doing this where his dementia is just out of control. Here, play this clip.
Guest Analyst
Boom. Then another one.

And she's like, she was ready to go. She walked back to the corner.
Political Commentator

Episode: Trump Health Scare Grows as Time is Running Out…
Date: April 19, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas (MeidasTouch Network)
In this urgent and candid episode, the Meiselas brothers dissect growing public and media concern over Donald Trump's mental and physical health, particularly in the context of heightened global tension surrounding Iran. The discussion is fueled by Trump’s erratic midnight social media posts, bizarre public appearances—including a press event with Joe Rogan—and reported cognitive decline. The hosts blend brotherly banter, biting critique, and personal observations, while warning about the real-world consequences for democracy and U.S. security.
Rapid Deterioration: The hosts open with a serious tone, noting that “his physical and mental health continues to rapidly, rapidly deteriorate” [03:35].
Social Media Meltdown: Trump’s late-night posts are described as “psychotic” and “incoherent,” fueling speculation of declining cognitive faculties.
“He posted several dozen posts that were incoherent and truly when you read them you'll be like, they need to put a straight jacket on this guy.”
— [03:42]
Alzheimer’s Comparison: Hosts reference public signs of dementia, drawing parallels with Trump’s late father, Fred Trump, who died of Alzheimer’s, and speculate Trump is experiencing something similar.
Fabricated Ceasefire: Trump is accused of inventing a ceasefire with Iran, misleading the public on U.S. control of the Strait of Hormuz, and making false claims about nuclear material.
“You said Iran gave you everything and they submitted. And then Iran's like, he's lying about everything. If you want to actually look at what's happening in Iran, you can see he's lying.”
— [13:55]
Press Conference Fallout: Instead of answering substantive questions in a Saturday Oval Office press conference—while war with Iran looms—Trump lashes out at the press and signs a “bizarre executive order regarding psychedelics” with Joe Rogan present.
“Donald Trump exhibited that disinhibition. He yelled and he kicked out the press. And then before doing so he signed some bizarre executive order regarding psychedelics with Joe Rogan.”
— [05:54]
Obsession with Image: Trump fixates on how he signs his name and compares himself to Biden in trivial ways.
“And he's like, you think Biden can do that? You think Biden? You signed a document with your scribbly lettering. Like, what are you even talking about?”
— [15:27]
Losing Focus: The Wall Street Journal is referenced reporting Trump’s inability to focus and preoccupation with White House ballrooms during an international crisis.
“The President's impulsive style has never before been tested… sometimes loses focus, spending time on the details of his plans for the White House ballrooms.”
— [07:00] (paraphrasing WSJ article)
Personal and TikTok example of dementia highlighted as nearly indistinguishable from Trump’s recent behavior.
“If you've had people in your life, like I do, who exhibit dementia or Alzheimer's... Donald Trump is having exactly what Fred has.”
— [07:09]
Clip of a dementia patient dialog serves as a poignant analogy to Trump’s public confusion [17:54].
On Trump's Public State:
“This is not just some random individual in a psychiatric ward posting this. The President of the United States shouldn't something that.”
— [09:59]
On Iran Claims:
“You said Iran gave you everything and they submitted. And then Iran's like, he's lying about everything.”
— [13:55]
On Grandiosity:
“You think Biden can do that?... You signed a document with your scribbly lettering. Like, what are you even talking about?”
— [15:39]
On Cognitive Decline:
“He's not a senior... but I don't happen to be a senior myself, thank you very much.”
— [18:53]
The episode is a mix of dire warning, political analysis, and the Meiselas brothers’ signature comedic edge. There’s a palpable sense of alarm over the “unprecedented” behavior of the sitting president, contrasted with satirical asides and incredulity.
Listeners are left with a vivid, disconcerting portrait of a commander-in-chief in visible decline, creating international risk and domestic crises through erratic actions and statements. The MeidasTouch crew urges viewers to stay vigilant and continue advocating for democracy as the 2026 election looms amid instability.
This summary covers all significant content sections of the episode, offering both a factual and emotional understanding of the discussion—even for those who haven't listened.
