Donald Trump's health is fading fast. And finally, the press is beginning to ask the right questions. The questions we've been asking here at the Midas Touch Network for some time. And Donald Trump, while he was aboard Air Force One, only raised additional concerns about his deteriorating health. Now, what you should know about Donald Trump is that his father had dementia. Donald Trump has Alzheimer's running in his family. It was written about by Mary Trump that Donald Trump mocked his father for having Alzheimer's. Not sure if that's true or not, but Mary Trump says that that's what Donald Trump did. We also heard from Donald Trump's nephew, Fred Trump iii, who talks about dementia and Alzheimer's crippling the Trump family. It runs in their genes. And yes, Alzheimer's, dementia and these types of mental deterioration disorders are genetic. They run in families. And Donald Trump, we know, has been terrified about having dementia. Donald Trump has been terrified about having Alzheimer's. Donald Trump has been terrified about what happened to his father, Fred Trump happening to him, and that's what appears to be happening right now. Why else would somebody need an MRI this frequently? Of course, the medical literature talks about how one of the ways to diagnose dementia or Alzheimer's would actually be to take these MRIs to the degree and frequency that Donald Trump is having them in order to make these types of diagnoses. Also, why else is the White House and the Trump regime going to these lengths of covering it up? Donald Trump and the White House seem to believe it is a better answer for Trump to say he does not know what body part the MRI is focused on versus just admitting where the MRI was actually done on. Just to say I don't know, he thinks is a better answer. So let me just show you what went down when Donald Trump was aboard Air Force One heading back to Washington, D.C. on Sunday, where he was asked the right question by the press. And they framed it, though, in terms of Governor Walls in Minnesota saying, donald, release the MRI results. And this was because Donald Trump was referring to Governor Walls on Thanksgiving as the R word. And Governor Walz was like, while families are out here trying to enjoy their time together, Donald Trump' calling me seriously, R word. That's what you're doing. Release the MRI result. So a reporter asked Donald Trump, hey, Donald, Governor Wall says, release the MRI results. Will you do it? And Trump, like, kind of looks like he's talking to somebody. Like, somebody who's there. He's like, should. Should I? They're asking me about the mri. They're asking me about. He's like. Then he, like, tries to yell at the reporter. He's like, why would I. Why should I do that? And the reporter's like, well, what part of the body was the MRI done on? So this happen Sunday, I want you to watch this interaction very carefully here. Play this clip.
Donald Trump
So if they want to release it, it's okay with me to release it. Perfect. Psych. My phone call or I got it pitched. It's absolutely, absolutely perfect. So if you want to hear about it or if you want to release it, you want to have it released. News Nation failing. Failing News Nation. News Nation is doing lousy, by the way. But if you want to have it released, I'll release it. For what? Releasing?
Fred Trump III (Donald Trump's Nephew)
No, no, no.
Donald Trump
What part of your body was the MRI looking at? I have no idea. It was just an mri. What part of the body? It wasn't the brain, because I took a Cognitive test, which you would be incapable of doing. Bye, everybody. You, too. Thank you, Mr. President.
Narrator/Host
Now, just take a look at the way Donald Trump physically looked at Mar A Lago over the weekend. Now, when Donald Trump, sitting at the table where he eats at, they have a placard that has his name on it saying Donald J. Trump 4547, as if to remind him who he is. Take a look at what he physically looked like while he was a. While he was aboard Air Force One. I mean, you see what he looks like. I mean, he looks physically deteriorating before our eyes. Now, I want to share this with you as well, so just so we can build a timeline here. So I showed you what Donald Trump said on Sunday, but let me show you what Donald Trump said Nov. 14, 2025, when he was asked about whether or not he had an MRI. So this is his response. November 14, 2025. Let's pay attention here. Play this clip. Mr. President, could you tell us why you needed to get an mri? I understand that the results were good, but what was it for?
Donald Trump
Because it's part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very sad. Well, you think I shouldn't have, and other people get it. I had an mri. Here's what the story is. I had an mri. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That's it. But I had an MRI as part of my standard, yearly or every. I think they do it every two years, but I have the physical every year and the result was outstanding. Did you know? I have no idea what they analyze, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they've ever seen. Now, the other thing I took is I took, as you know, a advanced, very advanced test on mental acuity because I think a president should have to do that. And as you probably heard, I aced it. I got a perfect score. I got the highest score. I got a perfect score. And the only reason I tell you that is it's one subject, unlike Biden and others, that you can take off your plane.
Narrator/Host
Okay, now take a look at Donald Trump's response. October 27, 2025. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
Clinical imaging.
Narrator/Host
Did you get an mri? Can you tell us why that. I did.
Donald Trump
I got an mri. It was perfect. I mean, I gave you. I gave you the full results. We had an mri, MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect. Can you say what in particular? You could ask the doctors. In fact, we have doctors traveling with us. But I think they gave you a very conclusive. Nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you. And if I didn't think it was going to be good either, I would let you know. Negatively, I wouldn't run. I'd do something. But the doctor said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they've ever seen.
Narrator/Host
Now, one of the things that Donald Trump continues to say is that he's taking cognitive exams. I've taken this cognitive exam. I've taken that cognitive exam. No one takes better cognitive exams like me. I've aced cognitive exams. You hear him repeat that over and over again. So I'll give you this example right here. This is April 11, 2025, after Trump purportedly had his first physical in office. His second one was took place October 11th or so. But this was Donald Trump, April 11th, 2025, talking about the cognitive tests he took. Then here, play this clip.
Donald Trump
The yearly physical. I think I did well. I think they're releasing the report on Sunday. Doctors, highly respected doctors. Great guys, great, amazing place, actually. Did they give you any suggestions or advice on anything you needed to change up a little bit? But overall, I think I'm in very, I felt I was in very good shape. Good heart, a good soul. Very good soul.
Qualia Senolytic Advertiser
And.
Donald Trump
I took, I wanted to be a little different than Biden. I took a cognitive test and I don't know what to tell you other than I got every answer right. I took just a lot of different tests having to do with the heart, having to do with other things. And I think you'll find that they're going to release the report on Sunday. I think you'll find it very good. Can you tell us about the cognitive test? Is that man, woman, person, camera, tv? It's a, I think it's a pretty well known test. Whatever it is, I got everyone, I got it all right as I've done about four times before. And I'm taking, I'm taking the cocktail. Did a test, I think four times and I've done. I've got nothing wrong. That's what the American people want. Biden refused to take it. Kamala refused to take it. I think most of them refused to take it, but I don't refuse to take it. What else?
Narrator/Host
Then you could even go back to the campaign when Donald Trump would very frequently, while slurring his words, brag about taking cognitive exams. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
Be happy to hear. Our great football player is going to be happy to hear this I took a physical and I passed with flying colors and I took a cognitive exam. I said, doctor, give me anything you want.
Donald Trump
I want to take.

Narrator/Host
And then you go back to 2020 and his first term in office. You'll see that he brags about again. Cognitive exams. I took this cognitive exam and that cognitive exam. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
I tell you what, let's take a test. Let's take a test right now. Let's go down. Joe and I will take a test. Let him take the same test that I took.
Narrator/Host
Incidentally, I took the test too, when I heard that you passed it. Yeah. How did you. Well, it's not the hardest test.
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
No.
Narrator/Host
But the last picture and it says, what's that? And it's an element.
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
No, no, no. You see, that's all misrepresentation.
Narrator/Host
Well, that's what it was on the web.
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
It's all misrepresentation because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't. They get very hard, the last five.
Narrator/Host
Well, one of them was count back from 100.
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
And let me tell you, you couldn't answer. You couldn't answer.
Narrator/Host
All right, what's the question?
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
Many of the questions. I'd get you the test. I'd like to give it, but I guarantee you that Joe Biden could not answer those questions.
Narrator/Host
Okay.
Donald Trump (Campaign Clip)
And I answered all 35 questions correctly.
Narrator/Host
You okay? And again, he's like, you know, this person, woman, animal. Like, it's. These exams are. Are really, really hard. Let's again, let's just take a look at Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump's Alzheimer's and dementia and see what happened there. We can glean some additional insight. Fred Trump ultimately died 1999, and his death was related to the dementia and Alzheimer's. You know, he ultimately died, I believe, of pneumonia, but it was one of the causal factors was the dementia and the Alzheimer's. As you look through the proceedings that the estate had, where they were all suing each other, specifically, Trump was suing everybody to try to seize all the assets from the estate. We were able to see some of the documents that. That involve Fred Trump taking cognitive exams. So he would be told to draw a clock. And this is what he drew. Right here we see medical reports that say the most striking area of dysfunction, however, is in his cognitive capacity. It was clear throughout the interview that he has significant memory impairment. Also, the diagnoses of Fred Trump, early signs of dementia back in 1992. So hit Fred Trump quick, like, boom. He started having signs of it. I mean, think about if this was happening from Donald Trump right around his first term. Again, I'm just speculating, right? And then think about the degree to which it then results in the deterioration of Donald, the same way we saw it in Fred. Let me read from a February 4th and February 5th, 1992 medical report from Dr. Rudiger. Um, this is about Fred Trump. The patient was referred by Dr. Butler for evaluation of problems with memory. The patient denied any symptoms of cognitive loss. However, it was observed that he did not know his birth date, was unsure of his age, and turned to his son for help in responding to some questions. His son reported that his memory was amazing until about age 80, but that notable decline has occurred only in the last two years. The patient now forgets names and will sometimes confuse one business situation with another. His son has noted progression in the last 18 months.
Qualia Senolytic Advertiser
Boom.
Narrator/Host
Right around Donald Trump's age. And the question becomes, is this genetic? Is Alzheimer's, Is this type of dementia genetic? And the answer is, absolutely, it is. All of the medical literature suggests that people with Alzheimer's. If you have someone with Alzheimer's in your family, your risk of developing it could be 10 to 30% or even more higher. Now let's hear from Fred Trump, the third, Donald Trump's nephew right here. Here's what Donald Trump's nephew had to say about, about Fred Trump, about Donald Trump's father. Here, play this clip.
Fred Trump III (Donald Trump's Nephew)
What I saw in my grandfather. I know what I saw in Donald's older sister, my Aunt Marianne, who in the end, thank you for saying I am not a doctor. I don't pretend to be. I just, I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers. What it, what it is. Donald's cousin, John Walters, had dementia. It runs in the family. I'm not happy about it because guess what? I worry about it myself. You know, when I wears my glasses. Oh, on the top of my head now, I don't know. That may be Halfheimers, but it runs in the family.
Dr. Shriner
He.
Fred Trump III (Donald Trump's Nephew)
He looks older and I get it. I mean, I'm not saying anybody who is in that office looks different than when they come out, but the things he's spewing and the craziness and he just can't stick to a message.
Dr. Shriner
Yeah.
Dr. Jonathan Reiner
Wow.
Narrator/Host
I mean, it's kind of describing this spot on right here. Signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's. Memory, reasoning, language, behavior, personality, spatial, under spatial. Understanding. All things we see here with Donald Trump. Let me share with you. This is Dr. Jonathan Reiner, renowned physician. Here's what he has to say about MRIs. Let's play this clip right here. What is an MRI? Why would somebody need to have one done?
Dr. Jonathan Reiner
An MRI is an advanced imaging test performed by radiologists which uses this really remarkable technology that involves a strong magnetic field and radio waves. And it basically realigns your hydrogen ions and then lets them relax back. And different tissues have different signals that come back. And this technology can provide very detailed images of virtually any body part. But we don't even know what type of Mr.
Qualia Senolytic Advertiser
He had.
Dr. Jonathan Reiner
We don't know whether he had a head or brain mri. We don't know if he had an MRI of the chest or abdomen or prostate, and we don't know what symptoms promulgated this kind of testing. I will say that just routine MRI testing is not part of a standard physical, either in the civilian world or in the white House Executive Medicine World. So obviously some kind of complaint or symptom or physical finding prompted the White House medical team to go ahead and get an mri. And again, it's important to understand that the White House can do a lot of testing in the White House. And you only go to Walter Reed when you need a test that just simply cannot be performed there, like an mri. So it made sense that he was going there for a certain test like this. And in fact, his physician, Dr. Barbara Bella said, in fact, he used in the euphemism, he said, we did advanced imaging. Yeah, I'm not sure why he just didn't come out and say he had an mri. But now we know.
Narrator/Host
And now right around where I think some of these symptoms started actually developing and now accelerating. I think you go back to a Walter Reid visit that Donald Trump took during his first term in office and I'll let Dr. Shriner. Let's play this clip of him.
Dr. Shriner
His inability to say words sometimes worries me tremendously. He is having trouble word finding. When he said united instead of United States. These aren't words. These aren't slips of the tongue. These are words. He can't find them. And this is happening over and over again. Comedians joke about it, but it's not a joking matter. I think there is a neurological issue that is not being addressed. If he had an MRI of his head over there, I would be very pleased because I think he needs it.
Donald Trump
Is that something that could have happened in the two hour time he was there?
Dr. Shriner
Yes, it certainly could. And it's the worry that I have is that maybe he's having small strokes. And you know, we had that once before in the White House when Woodrow Wilson was president. His inability to find words is peculiar and has not been explained. And I think one has to think of it as a possible neurological issue.
Narrator/Host
And again, just some other sites of Donald Trump. Right here. This was Donald Trump. Just take a look at him right here when he wanted to have that military parade. You see how awful he looks. Right here. I'm just showing you the B roll of it right there. Here was Donald Trump when he rolled out the red carpet for Putin. Trump couldn't walk in a straight line. Right there. You see him right there. Um, here's Donald Trump where he need to be kind of escorted and chaperoned by the Japanese Prime Minister Takaishi. Right there. So you look at Fred Trump's medical records before he died that I just shared with you. You look at the frequency of these cognitive exams that Fred would take towards the end of his life the frequency of cognitive exams that Donald Trump, by his own admission says that he's taking right now over and over again. You take a look at the fact that you have these frequent MRIs, which to me is something that you would be associated with Alzheimer's. And again, I'll be very clear. I don't know. I'm giving you my own opinion. I'm not a doctor, but I can go through the literature and express an opinion.
Dr. Jonathan Reiner
Right?
Narrator/Host
We all have a First Amendment right to express opinions here. But serious, something seriously is wrong with him. I mean, obviously there's something wrong with him, but we see a deeper, broader coverup that I think will be brought to light soon. Tell me what you think.

Episode: Trump’s Health Falls Apart as Press Finally Demand Report
Date: December 1, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
This episode centers on growing concerns over Donald Trump’s health, pushing back on years of media avoidance and denial from Trump’s camp. The hosts dissect recent press inquiries into Trump’s frequent MRIs and mounting evidence suggesting possible cognitive decline, potentially linked to genetic factors. The Meiselas brothers reconstruct the timeline of Trump’s public responses and analyze both medical opinions and family history, all while maintaining their signature mix of sharp critique, humor, and democratic advocacy.
The episode features multiple audio clips—Trump on Air Force One evading the MRI question, as well as prior press encounters:
The pattern: Trump repeatedly insists he’s “ace’d” cognitive tests and offers little transparency about his health, interjecting attacks on the media.
[05:18] Trump’s confusion and deflection:
"What part of your body was the MRI looking at? I have no idea. ... It wasn't the brain, because I took a Cognitive test, which you would be incapable of doing."
— Donald Trump
[16:54] Family concern about genetic risks:
"Donald’s cousin, John Walters, had dementia. It runs in the family. ... I’m not happy about it, because guess what? I worry about it myself."
— Fred Trump III
[18:53] Medical perspective on Trump’s testing:
"Routine MRI testing is not part of a standard physical, either in the civilian world or in the White House Executive Medicine World. ... Obviously some kind of complaint or symptom or physical finding prompted the White House medical team to go ahead and get an MRI."
— Dr. Jonathan Reiner
[20:13] Neurological concerns:
"His inability to say words sometimes worries me tremendously. ... These aren’t slips of the tongue. ... I think there is a neurological issue that is not being addressed."
— Dr. Shriner
[09:59] Trump's repeated self-assessment:
"I wanted to be a little different than Biden. I took a cognitive test and I don’t know what to tell you other than I got every answer right."
— Donald Trump
The Meiselas brothers keep their commentary pointed and passionate, blending earnest calls for transparency with their recognizable sarcasm and brotherly banter. They rely on clear evidence, incorporate expert testimony, and leverage Trump family dynamics, all while framing the issue as a serious threat to democracy—not just another Trump scandal.
The episode convincingly outlines a pattern of Donald Trump’s physical and cognitive decline, the significance of his family history, and the urgent need for journalistic—and public—scrutiny. By collating Trump’s own words, family medical records, and independent medical analysis, the MeidasTouch team illustrates why Trump’s evasiveness isn’t just political posturing but a matter of national interest. They call on their audience and the broader press to keep pressing for answers and accountability as the stakes could not be higher for American democracy.
