Donald Trump's health is rapidly deteriorating and it couldn't come at a worse time for him. With the release of those Epstein emails that are devastating to Donald Trump, that seems to be further accelerating his physical and mental decline. When Donald Trump was heading to Mar a Lago on Friday night on Air Force One, he was asked additional questions about the MRI he received back on October 10 when he had a second medical examination, major medical examination, which they tried to pretend was a physical at Walter Reed. When Donald Trump addressed the issue of the MRI on Air Force One on Friday. He said it was perfect. He said that the doctor said it was the best results that the doctor had ever seen, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. And a reporter asked Donald Trump, what part of the body was it on? Was it on the brain or some other part of the body? Donald Trump said, look, I don't know what part of the body it was. So let me get this straight. Donald Trump said that he got an MRI with the best results, but he didn't know what part of the body the MRI was on? Who doesn't know what part of the body is an MRI is performed on? As Medi Hassan says, isn't this 25th amendment territory? If the president of the United States doesn't know which body part and MRI was performed? Folks, this is a deeply serious matter as Donald Trump is quite literally rotting and deteriorating before our eyes. Let me just show for you the clip of, of him saying this so you can hear and see it for yourself. This is Donald Trump on Air Force One on Friday night. Let's play this clip.
- [04:22]
Press Secretary / Medical Spokesperson
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?
- [04:28]
Podcast Host
Because it's part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very sad. Where you think I shouldn't have and other people get it. I had an mri. Here's what's hilarious. 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 analyzed, 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. 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.
- [05:36]
Political Commentator
You just read for you some of the comments following that. As Terry Vert says, best MRI the doctor has ever seen. Not sure what organ was scanned, but it was the best ever, whatever it was. This other account, Michael Cohen, but not the Michael Cohen on this network, says the greatest MRI result ever seen is Legit. One of the unintentionally funniest things Trump has ever said. This account, Susan Boardson writes, how many people consent to an MRI but have zero knowledge or understanding regarding what is being scanned or why, for the love of America, political press, start covering this man's words and actions using these same standards you've used for every other high level government official? Well, that's what we're doing here at the Midas Touch Network. It's why we've been focused on Donald Trump's deteriorating health for about five years. We've been focused on it in very specific detail and our coverage will only continue. Ahmed Baba writes. So Trump is simultaneously saying that his MRI results were outstanding, but he has no idea what was even analyzed. Okay. Why is he being so weird about this? It's pretty clear the President of the United States is withholding key health information from the American people. You think? And I mean, all last night, Donald Trump was posting weird memes like this. Who's this supposed to be? Someone in a weird mask? Trump, 2028. I don't know, Donald. Is this the type of things you would see when you would hang out with Epstein, people who were dressed like that? Also on Air Force One, after Donald Trump talked about this mri, but he doesn't know what body part it's on. Trump was talking about how he doesn't know why his name appeared on the Epstein emails. And then when people were asking him additional questions, he was like, quiet, quiet. And he lunged.
- [07:37]
Press Secretary / Medical Spokesperson
He.
- [07:37]
Political Commentator
He couldn't control his body. He lunged. It looked like he was going to kind of physically grab the female reporter and the other reporters who were asking the questions. Watch this here, play this clip. So let me just take us on a timeline of just the past several months just to maybe make this clear for you. So on April 13, Donald Trump purported to have his first physical exam. The results of the exam were published in a way that made very little sense. It didn't seem credible. It said that his health was evidenced by winning golf championships, which, by the way, we know he cheats at those golf championships, but that's not a normal thing. That belongs in medical reports. And also said that he weighed like 220 pounds, which my opinion, weighs over 300 pounds. So just a lot of red flags there. But that was April 13th. Then on July 16th, that's when Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist press secretary, she holds a press conference saying that Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, but stated that it was not a serious issue. It just is caused because he shakes a lot of hands, and that's why. And he's such a busy guy. At that time, remember, we saw Donald Trump's hand rotting. Looked like he stuck it in a piranha tank. Donald Trump's ankles kind of exploding. We saw just the way it flared up in a way that almost looked like basketballs.

We know that Donald Trump was unable to walk in a straight line, and he still struggles to walk in a straight line. You remember when he rolled out the red carpet for Putin and had our soldiers get down on their knees because Trump is a despicable human being. But then Trump walked on that red carpet to greet Putin, and Trump was zigzagging back and forth. I'll also note recently, when Donald Trump was in Japan, he needed the new prime minister there, Takashi, to help chaperone him and walk because he got lost, didn't know where he was. And of course, there's the rambling. He can complete full sentences again, the physical appearance of the sweat. So there's all of that taking place. So then October 10th is when he purported to have a second physical exam, which they tried to act like it was an annual exam, but they previously claimed his annual exam was April 13th. So then they said it was a semiannual exam. But then Ronnie Jackson, who was Trump's former physician, now a MAGA Republican Congress member and MAGA sycophant, he said that it was in connection with the chronic venous insufficiency. But that was different than what Trump and Caroline Levitt said. But then we got that report, and that medical report, talked about advanced imaging performed. As soon as we got that report, do you remember what we were saying on the Midas Touch Network? I said, mri, mri, mri. I said, this is what we thought. I said, I don't know if it is related to the brain, if it is another organ, but this is serious, folks. And that's what I said. I said. And it's consistent with the physical deterioration that we see before our very eyes. So then on October 27, Donald Trump was talking about the trip to Walter Reed. On November 4th, we have Caroline Levitt responding to why Trump got an mri. And she kind of tried to not discuss it at all. And then on November 12th of this past week, she talked about it again. Remember October 27th, Trump was on Air Force One, and he was like, it was a good mri. Just go. Go and ask my doctors. They'll give you the imaging reports. They'll give you the data. And of course, that's the way of Donald Trump's way to like divert attention. And nobody ever got the data. No one got the advanced imaging at all. So that kind of brings us up to date on where we are. So with that as kind of a background, let me just remind you of when Carolyn Levitt July 17, 2025 take a look at Trump's ankles, his, his hand and you'll see this is where she talks about the chronic venous insufficiency.
- [12:15]
Press Secretary / Medical Spokesperson
Play this clip that many in the media have been speculating about. Bruising on the President's hand and also swelling in the President's legs. So in the effort of transparency, the President wanted me to share a note from his position with all of you today. In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit. The President underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70. Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D dimer, B type natriotic peptide, and cardiac biomarkers. All results were within normal limits. An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified. Additionally, recent photos of the President have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy. And the President remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witnessed on a daily basis here. So the President wanted me to share that note with all of you. I'm happy to take further questions on it.

Stages of Chronic Venus Insufficiency to me, he looks like stage five or six chronic venous insufficiency, you know, and this could be a serious issue if the blood's not flowing to where it needs to. The question we have is, is this MRI related to cognitive issues? Many people have suspected mini strokes. Is this cardiovascular? Is it kidney? Is it liver? Is it something else? These are the types of things that we would normally get answers to. So let me just share this with you. This is Dr. Jonathan Reiner, Dick Cheney's former cardiologist, and he just said that Trump's secret MRI could reflect a showing of neurological symptoms. Here, play this clip right here.

As to why the President would have gotten an mri?
- [16:33]
Medical Analyst
It's not part of a routine screening. There's been really a lack of candor. The big question is, what prompted his mri? So what symptoms were they concerned about? What particular type of MRI was performed? Was it a brain mri? Was it a cardiac mri? Was it an MRI of his spine? Of his prostate? What prompted a concern that would take him in a relatively unscheduled way to Walter Reed for this testing? Why didn't they tell us that? Didn't they disclose that he was tested when Dr. Barbarella issued his report after the president's visit. And now, why won't they tell us exactly why the testing was, was performed and the results? I think without that, then there's really no trust.

Now, one of the things I want to remind you as well is that Donald Trump had a history of manipulating his medical reports. I mean, always. How do we know this? Well, Donald Trump's former lawyer who since passed away under mysterious circumstances, Dr. Harold Bornstein. Remember, he was the doctor back in 2015, 2016, who would prepare those reports that Trump was the healthiest man who would ever get into the Oval Office. Well, I just want to remind you that back on May 2, 2018, Trump's medical doctor at that time was a D.O. harold Borenstein. He talked about how Donald Trump dictated that whole letter. Play this clip.
- [18:09]
Former Physician / Insider
We ran into Dr. Hill Borenstein right out, right here, right outside his office on Park Avenue. And he told us in no uncertain terms. And this is the quote, Aaron, he dictated. He being Trump, he dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter. Meaning that Trump dictated what he wanted to go into it. And essentially Bornstein wrote it up. He did say he compared it to the movie Fargo. And he said it takes the truth and moves it in a different direction. Think about that. Now, Bornstein tells us that he was in a car with his wife when he was on the phone with then candidate Trump in December of 2015. And he was going through with Trump what he could say and what he couldn't say. Trump was dictating what he wanted in that letter. And Bornstein was saying, okay, you can say that. You can't say that. He then came here to the office. He wrote it up. Trump's office later picked it up. He said around 4pm Aaron, we have reached out to the White House, but we have not gotten a response.
- [19:03]
Political Commentator
And this was from that same period, May 2018. Harold Bornstein talked about how his office was raided by Donald Trump's bodyguards and they took Trump's medical reports because they wanted to conceal it. Again, this is Trump's doctor who has since passed away. Here's what he had to say exactly. Were they looking for all his medical.
- [19:23]

Records, his pictures, anything they could find? They must have been here for 25 or 30 minutes. It created a lot of chaos. I couldn't believe anybody was making a big deal about a drug that's to grow, to grow his hair, which seemed to be so important. And it certainly is not a breach of medical trust to tell somebody they Take Propecia to grow their hair. What's the matter with that?
- [19:47]
Political Commentator
Now, going back to 2019, people suspected that Donald Trump's first mini strokes occurred right around then. Remember, Trump made an unannounced visit to Walter Reed Medical center back in 2019, which some medical experts speculated was due to a stroke. Well, even back then you had Dr. David Shiner, a former presidential doctor, he said that when Donald Trump's, that's when the slurring really started bad. He goes, I think the guy's got mini strokes is what he suggested. Here, play this clip.
- [20:21]
Medical Expert
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.
- [20:51]
Press Secretary / Medical Spokesperson
Is that something that could have happened in the two hour time he was there?
- [20:54]
Medical Expert
Yes, it certainly could. And 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. He, 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.
- [21:17]
Political Commentator
So Donald Trump's new Do Not MD do is the person who prepared the October 10th report and the April 13th report is a guy named Sean Barbarella. Now, Bob, are ella he refuses to produce the advanced imaging. Normally that's something that we should get, we should get a copy of the advanced imaging, but that has not been produced at all. So what we are left with is what Donald Trump said there, what Caroline Levitt said there. And when Donald Trump says he doesn't know what body part the MRI was done, I mean, again, I truly believe that is 25th Amendment territory right there. Two other data points I want to show you. I think this is very important data point number one. JD Vance has been saying this a lot lately on interviews. He says, if tragedy strikes, I'm going to be ready to step in and become the president. And he does a whole shtick where he goes after Biden and well, if I was the vice president for Biden, I would be very, very worried. But, but with Donald Trump, but God forbid, tragedy strikes, wink, wink, I'll be ready. So this is what he said this week, too, with all of this taking place. Here, play this clip.

- [23:12]

Now, the other data point I wanted to show you was Caroline Levitt's press conference this week where she talks about the advanced imaging that he got. Let me just play this for you.

You recently said you check with President.
- [23:25]
Press Secretary / Medical Spokesperson
Trump about why he needs to get an MRI on his recent trip to Walter Reed. Do you have any more detail on that? I do, and I'm glad you asked. As stated in the Memo provided, on October 10th, President Trump received advanced imaging at Walter Reed Medical center as part of his routine physical examination. The full results were reviewed by attending radiologists and consultants, and all agreed that President Trump remains in exceptional physical health, which I know all of you will see with your own eyes later this evening when he opens up his dinner to the press. And perhaps you will see him when he signs the bill to reopen the federal government. So stay tuned on plans for that.
- [23:59]
Political Commentator
And then finally, this is an important video that we made at the Midas Touch Network where we talked about whether it was possible that Trump had a form of dementia. It's just opinion and speculation, but is it dementia and a cardiovascular issue combined? Is it one or the other? This is what we need to know. But here's the video we made at the Midas Touch Network. And you may have seen this one before, but especially in light of everything I just showed you, I think it's really important that you watch this. Here, play this clip.

Other notable symptoms include impaired motor function, such as a wavering limb and decreased balance, often accompanied by a signature lean or arched stance. If someone you know is demonstrating several or all of these symptoms, they are seriously unwell. As a matter of safety, they must be relieved of critical responsibilities and disqualified from any position of authority. Remember, frontotemporal dementia is a degenerative disease.
