It's not looking good for Donald Trump. His cognitive and physical health are collapsing so fast that Even his ally Dr. Phil, who was called on stage during this bizarre speech Donald Trump gave at the villages at a high school yester in front of a crowd of senior citizens. Even Dr. Phil was like, okay Donald, I've administered cognitive exams that you're bragging about and you know the type of people who take those cognitive exams, Donald, even Dr. Phil was giving all of the hints that there are major red flags about Donald Trump's cognitive and physical health. Watch what Dr. Phil said here.

Commentator/Analyst
the way, Mr. President, I've given that cognitive test that he took. I used to administer those where you give them 9,000 divided by two six, seven. I recall one guy did that about the President's age, took about six minutes to go through it, said, so what's your answer? And he said a small wire haired terrier so great that he got that done. No kidding. Listen, I really do want to take a chance to talk about this a little bit because what the President is doing here is really something you got to think about differently.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
Because throughout this speech, Donald Trump was either attacking the people who set up the sound system at this high school, at this event before senior citizens, or he kept on talking about the cognitive exam or he Was making like weird noises at this event and then at other events throughout the day in Florida. I mean, he was doing the. The thing where he makes the weird noise where he goes. It's very strange.

Like, look here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (clips)
Come on, darling. The mother's screaming like, darling, I love you, darling. Mom, I can't do it.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
Then he was talking about the cognitive exams and he says, you know, you take 99, you multiply by 9, you divide by 3, you add 4293. Divide by 2, you subt by 93, you divide by 9. What are you even talking? What in the world is going on? This individual is cognitively cooked. See you later, folks. There's nothing going on in there versa other than cognitive mush.
Video Editor/Producer (cueing clips)

And these are tough questions. These are tough questions. You know, they say, take a number, any number. Okay, I'll take 99. Multiply times nine. Okay, divide it by three. Good. Add 4,293. That's good. Divide by two, subtract 93, divide by nine. What is your answer now? They go a little slower than that, but not much. I don't want to waste a lot of time, but there aren't a lot of people that get it right. I got it right. You know, it was actually longer and more complex. But no, it's a tough test. So I took it.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
Then he continues to go on. I took this cognitive exam. I took three of them. I took three exams.
Video Editor/Producer (cueing clips)

Donald Trump (clips)
I took three of them. Aced all of them. By the way, you know, I'm the only president, I'm the only president to take a cognitive test because I don't think Obama could pass it. I don't. Didn't he get into Harvard with a C average? I don't know. What's that? I don't think he could pass it. I don't think. Well, Biden, isn't it. Give me a break. You know, the first question is very easy. It's a lion, a giraffe, a bear and a shark. They say, which one is the bear? And Everybody says, oh, 30 questions. Everyone says, very standard. There's a very standard test. But very tough around those last 10 questions. Not too many people, even in this very room, unlike news and mostly this room of geniuses. He said, I'm in a room of dumb people. That was not good. That was not good. You know what happened to him after that? It wasn't a pretty. But I'm in a room of brilliant people. But a lot of you wouldn't have been able to answer those 10 questions. 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? And, 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, man. I don't like that much. Then they said, he's really not a smart person at all. I really hated that. So I took a cognitive test.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
I'll show you in a little bit. As the head of Midas health explains. That's Dr. Gupta. These are dementia exams. These are exams that test serious cognitive decline. But it's not just might as Health. It's not just. Even though we keep on calling it out here, I mean, look, I think this is becoming a major campaign theme and a major part of the national discussion, and rightfully so. For example, here's what Governor Pritzker of Illinois said.
Video Editor/Producer (cueing clips)
Here, play this clip.
Governor J.B. Pritzker
Like a lot of bullies, you know, if you push back on a bully, oftentimes they actually do take a step back. So I can't explain because I don't understand. I think the man has dementia. I don't really understand how it works up there for him. But I can tell you that he doesn't seem to like me. Mentions me very often and sometimes completely out of the blue. He's not talking about Illinois. He's not talking about Chicago. He just. Somehow I pop up in his head and he wants to take after me.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
Do you think he had. He had dementia in the first term,
VRBO Advertiser
or is that recent to this term?
Governor J.B. Pritzker
I don't know. It's a good question.
Donald Trump (clips)
Do you notice it more.
Governor J.B. Pritzker
More pronounced now? Oh, my goodness. This time it's much more pronounced. And I mean, from day one, in fact, during the campaign, I think I felt that. And again, look, I. I think it's kind of a sad state of affairs because someone who's suffering from dementia, I mean, they genuinely need help, and there's no one around him who wants to help him. All those people are just sycophants.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
And here's what Donald Trump's own former attorney, White House attorney Ty Cobb, said about Donald Trump.

No, I think there's been a significant decline. He's always been driven by narcissism. But I think the dementia and the cognitive decline are palpable, as do many experts, including many Physic.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
I mean, you think about the events and the speeches that he was giving yesterday. He gave two speeches in Florida, and then in one of them at the Palm Beach Forum Club, he creates this fictitious narrative about the Civil War and

how
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
General Lee said, never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill. That's not what he said. That's not even an expression. Never fight up me. Never fight uphill, me boys. I don't even know what are you talking about.

Donald Trump (clips)
They heard they were going up a hill, Harvey. Just going up a hill. Robert E. Lee heard that Stonewall Jackson was killed as great general. And so he didn't have him, he had another general, and they were going up. And he sent five messengers on five horses, hoping that one would get through because they were all being shot. It was a bloodbath. And it was, never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill. We fought uphill, and they just got wiped out. But that whole. To me, the. The Robert E. Lee era with Ulysses S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln. I mean, to me, that is such an amazing. You can learn so much from it, but it was such an amazing time.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
Robert E. Lee never said that. What are you talking about? And Donald Trump's like. He kept on saying how great Robert E. Lee was, and he was incredible. And that's why the war lasted four years, because he was such a good general. No, it's not a good thing, man. He's a Confederate. What are you talking about then? Donald Trump. The way Trump describes the Strait of Hormuz is like very, very sexual. He's like, look at the curves. The curves. Are you drawing the Epstein birthday card that you got him for his 50th birthday? We call this, and this is what's called in medical terms and in legal terms, disinhibition. Disinhibition, where everything is kind of firing off in all these different directions. And here's what he says.
Video Editor/Producer (cueing clips)

Donald Trump (clips)
Because of what's happening in the world. And when you look at the Hormone street straight, and you see all of those ships, all of those people and ships, they want to get out or they want to get in. They're all over the place. They're like little ants, right? They look like a little anthill and hundreds and hundreds of ships. And we have a navy that is unbelievable. We put up. It's a blockade. It's a blockade. And you saw the other day where a massive tanker. This was bigger than 2 million barrels. A massive tanker was trying to run it and the young captain of the ship from Annapolis. These guys are like central casting. You could put. You could put them in. I'd say something about Tom Cruise. I was going to say, better look into Tom Cruise and Tala, but I'm not going to do that because he's a friend of mine. I can't do that.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
You know, like when he's talking about Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, and how beautiful she is and how attracted he is to Mexico's president, then he does Voices of Mexico's president where he's like. And she's like, hello, Donald. How are you, Donald? You good?

You good, Donald?
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
I'm like, what? I'm watching this. And I'm like, folks, we're watching somebody who needs to be placed in a psychiatric ward. Objectively, this person needs to be in a psychiatric ward, in my opinion.
Video Editor/Producer (cueing clips)
Here, play this clip Beneath that water.
Donald Trump (clips)
And now it's the Gulf of America. And the president of Mexico called me. He's not too fond of me anymore. But when she heard about it, it was heard. It was put in some paper. Somebody leaked it someplace. Always. You always have leaks when you're in my world. Leaks are a part of life. And it was leaked that I was going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. And she's a beautiful woman, a very nice. You know, I never like to talk about beauty because it's usually the end of a political career. If you say somebody's a beautiful woman, they say, what a terrible, terrible thing. Everybody hates it. Except the woman that you're talking about. They love it. So I won't say she's a beautiful woman, but she's a fine woman. And she is. And she's got this incredible, beautiful voice, elegant voice. She was a ballet dancer. She's got this beautiful voice, and she goes, president, President. No, no, no. President. Tell me, tell me you're only kidding. You're not going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Yes, I am. I'm sorry. No, no, no, please. Anyway, so they don't love me too much in Mexico right now. You know, that's why guys like me are in a lot of danger. You know, consequential people get in a lot of danger. You know what I'm talking about?
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
You know, and then, because he keeps on going on and on and on about this, one of the people at this event goes up to him and says, all right, the Forum that he's speaking at, the Forum Club, it's supposed to Be this non partisan club. Yeah, right. And so the person who was asking him the question goes, okay, Donald, why are you living in Palm Beach? The guy tries to make it less political. And Donald Trump's like, Elton John once told me that when you give a great performance, you just end the show. Elton John. Why are you bringing up Elton John? What are you even talking about? And by the way, the fact that people in the crowd are laughing at this, I go back to what Governor Pritzker said. You're laughing at someone who's psychologically ill. Like, this isn't fun. He's not trying to be humorous. This guy is psychologically ill. And I'm not trying to use that as an excuse because he's a malignant narcissist. He's an evil, vile piece of trash. Like, he's a real scumbag human. So I'm not trying to be like, oh, well, you know, he's ill, so we should treat him like he's a sick person. But he is also psychologically very ill and deranged. And it's getting worse and worse and worse. And in my opinion, it's what happened with his father Fred, right around the same age. Just my opinion that this is Fred all over again. But anyway, here's what Donald Trump said to that guy here.

YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
Why do you choose our community? Why Florida? Why Palm Beach County?
Donald Trump (clips)
Well, before I do that, so Elton John told me, when you hit it big, you leave. We hit it big. Everybody standing over now. Harvey says, can we ask you a couple of questions? He said, when you hit that last song big, don't go out for an encore. Or if you go out for an encore, make sure you leave when it's hot. And here we are, we had a standing ovation. Everyone going, they loved it. And Harvey has to ask me a stupid question like that.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
And then Donald Trump was claiming to the audience of senior citizens, Trump was saying that he's not a senior citizen.
Video Editor/Producer (cueing clips)
Play this clip.
Donald Trump (clips)
And here in the Sunshine state, we've issued two and a half million Florida seniors over $13 billion. Now, now, think of that. Now, I don't happen to be a senior. I'm much younger than you. I'm a much younger man than you. Look at you old guys. Wouldn't you like to be my age? It's young, vital, vibrant. Now, I'm much, much younger than the people in this room. But I feel I can relate to you. Anyway, see, now the fake news will go tonight and they'll say, he's claiming to be younger than the people.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
And then Trump keeps saying that. I see the lot. I seethe. Do you know that? I see he lies, and he claims that Biden tried to take credit for reducing insulin prices. $25, which Biden did do. Trump's like, that's what I did. And I seethe. It makes me seethe. What are you talking about?

Lo and behold, the election was rigged. And I saw Biden, a year later, standing up there saying what a great. I. I did a great job, Warren. So that he doesn't even know what the hell. He had no idea. And I was standing there seething. I was watching television. You know what it is to see. I see the lot. But this is one of the times I was seething. Oz knows that I was so angry. I said, I did it, and I didn't get credit for it. We did a lot of things we didn't get credit for, but.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
And then finally, he makes up fake conversations with Iran. So, like, earlier in the day yesterday, when he was in the White House lawn, he was saying, you know, the Iranians, they keep on calling me. They want to make a deal. I just. I don't. I don't want to make a deal. They want to make a deal, but I don't. They want to make a deal, but you don't. Again, why are you making this up? Be the President of the United States, act like a grownup, and if you honestly, if you're incapable, invoke the 25th Amendment. Get this guy out of here. What the hell are we doing?
Video Editor/Producer (cueing clips)
Play this clip.
Donald Trump (clips)
New Iranian proposal, please. So they want to make a deal, but I don't. I'm not satisfied with it. So we'll see what happens. Iran wants to make a deal because they have no military left, essentially. And they want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied with.
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
And then when he was on stage, he was basically saying the same stuff. I mean, he was saying, you know, I'm so busy, Iran keeps calling me. I don't know what to do. They call me all of the time. No, they don't. No, they don't. By the way, you and Witkoff and Kushner were thirsty and trying to reach out to a Ronald. They're not calling you. They're not calling anybody. You're making this up.

You know, so you'll be all very happy. And, you know, it's. Right now, I own Doral, and right now we have a tournament. I'm so busy, and we have the big Cadillac Championship going on, all the great players, the PGA Tour, and they're there. And yesterday somebody came up, said, sir, the tournament is great. I said, what tournament are you talking about? I'm so busy with the Iranians calling, trying to make a good deal and we're not going to let that happen. But got to make a bad. They've got to make a bad deal. But if they make a deal at all, because frankly, maybe we're better off not making a deal at all. Do you want to know the truth? Because we can't let this thing go on. Been going on too long. But under the leadership of finally.

I'll show you what Dr. Gupta was telling me about the so called dementia exam that Donald Trump is taking here.

YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
Dr. Gupta, I know you got to run. I just want to close the loop on one more thing. In the experts that you speak to and in your own practice, have you ever heard of somebody taking these cognitive exams that Trump keeps saying he's taking like every three months or six months? This level of. Have you ever heard of that? Like with that level of frequency?
Donald Trump (clips)
No.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive assessment, MOCA for short, which it focuses on recall, memory loss, basic things. Mild cognitive dysfunction is what it tends to sort of screen for. It's not a great tool. No one takes it with this type of frequency. I was on with Nicole Wallace yesterday and I thought she said it beautifully. You know, saying that you're passing it every other week is not. It's not some sort of flex here
YouTuber/Host (possibly a political commentator)
that he thinks it is.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta
This is. It's an unusual thing to keep boasting about doing it as frequently as he's doing. Makes no sense. I don't know any neurologist that would recommend doing a mocha with that type of frequency. And again, it's not the flex that I think he thinks it is.

Episode Title: Trump’s Health Collapses as Top Supporter Calls For Help!!!!
Date: May 2, 2026
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas (with regular use of supporting clips and expert commentary)
Theme: The brothers dissect a series of Donald Trump’s recent public appearances, highlighting growing concerns about his cognitive and physical decline, with a comedic yet pointed analysis of the political, medical, and media reactions surrounding it.
The Meiselas brothers focus on Donald Trump’s latest erratic behavior during campaign events in Florida, scrutinizing his repeated references to cognitive exams, bizarre storylines, and increasing public discussion of his mental fitness—even among his allies and former White House staff. The episode features a mix of first-hand speech clips, high-profile critiques (including Dr. Phil, Governor J.B. Pritzker, and Ty Cobb), and expert medical perspective from Dr. Sanjay Gupta. The hosts employ their signature mix of humor and serious critique to question Trump’s fitness for office and the sycophantic support he continues to receive.
Trump’s recent speech at a Florida high school before senior citizens is characterized as "bizarre" and confusing, with Trump frequently returning to his cognitive test saga.
Dr. Phil, called onstage as a supporter, implies concern, hinting that Trump’s "bragging" about cognitive exams is a red flag.
“Even Dr. Phil was giving all of the hints that there are major red flags about Donald Trump's cognitive and physical health.” — Host [01:14]
Trump’s rambling stories involve incorrect math problems, strange noises, and off-topic rants—often met with bemused or awkward laughter by audiences.
“What are you even talking? What in the world is going on? This individual is cognitively cooked... There’s nothing going on in there other than cognitive mush.” — Host [03:23]
“Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive assessment... with that level of frequency... Makes no sense. I don't know any neurologist that would recommend doing a MOCA with that type of frequency. And again, it's not the flex that I think he thinks it is.” — Dr. Sanjay Gupta [18:23–18:49]
Governor Pritzker openly speculates about Trump suffering from dementia, describing behavior that is "much more pronounced" now compared to previous years.
“I think it's kind of a sad state of affairs because someone who's suffering from dementia... genuinely need[s] help, and there's no one around him who wants to help him. All those people are just sycophants.” — Gov. J.B. Pritzker [07:03]
Ty Cobb, Trump's former White House counsel, adds:
“I think the dementia and cognitive decline are palpable, as do many experts, including many physicians.” — Ty Cobb [07:34]
“You're laughing at someone who's psychologically ill... this isn't fun. He's not trying to be humorous. This guy is psychologically ill… And it's getting worse and worse and worse. And in my opinion, it's what happened with his father Fred, right around the same age. Just my opinion that this is Fred all over again.” — Host [12:23–13:48]
On Cognitive Testing:
"I'm the only president to take a cognitive test because I don't think Obama could pass it. I don't." — Donald Trump [04:35]
Governor Pritzker’s Candid Assessment:
"I think the man has dementia. I don't really understand how it works up there for him…" — Gov. J.B. Pritzker [06:32]
Ty Cobb on Trump’s Condition:
“The dementia and the cognitive decline are palpable, as do many experts, including many physicians.” — Ty Cobb [07:34]
On Trump’s Storytelling Style:
“This is what's called in medical terms and in legal terms, disinhibition.” — Host [09:00]
Medical Perspective from Dr. Sanjay Gupta:
“Passing a cognitive exam every other week is not some sort of flex ... It's an unusual thing to keep boasting about doing it as frequently as he's doing.” — Dr. Sanjay Gupta [18:23–18:49]
The episode delivers a sharp, sometimes biting commentary on Donald Trump’s mental and physical state as observed during a series of increasingly erratic public events. By combining humor, expert analysis, and emotional appeals, the Meiselas brothers call on listeners to recognize the dangerous implications of Trump's deteriorating condition and the complicity of those around him.
"Let me know what you think... Support independent media and unlock exclusive content, ad free videos and custom emojis by becoming a paid member..." — Host [19:05]
For listeners seeking a blend of serious political analysis and brotherly banter, this episode offers a revealing look at Trump’s public unraveling, how it’s perceived across the political spectrum, and what it might mean for American democracy.
